The purpose of this work is to investigate the correlation between regional oxygen saturation (rSO2) changes and stump pressure (SP) during cross-clamping of the internal carotid artery in carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and verify the perspectives of rSO2 to become a criterion for shunting. Sixty consecutive CEAs under general anesthesia were studied prospectively. Selective shunting was based on SP ≤40 mmHg exclusively. Regression analysis with high order terms and receiver operating characteristic analysis were performed to investigate the association between ΔrSO2(%) and SP and to determine an optimal ΔrSO2(%) threshold for shunt insertion. A quadratic association between ΔrSO2(%) and SP was documented regarding the baseline to one and five minutes after cross-clamping intervals. A cut-off of 21 and 10.1% reduction from the baseline recording was identified as optimal for the distinction between patients needed or not a shunt regarding the first and fifth minute after cross-clamping, respectively. In conclusion, cerebral oximety reflects sufficiently cerebral oxygenation during CEA compared with SP, providing a useful mean for cerebral monitoring.

Background. Cerebral monitoring during carotid endarterectomy allows to detect brain hypoperfusion following carotid clamping and hyperperfusion after restoring the blood flow. Immediate corrections of these changes have the potential in reducing adverse neurologic outcomes. In this study we share our experience using cerebral oximetry in carotid endarterectomy surgery, as well as finding a connection between comorbidities and baseline cerebral oxygenation values. Materials and methods. A non-randomised perspective study was performed at Vilnius University Hospital Santariškių Clinics. During 2012–2013 all consecutive elective patients undergoing carotid surgery were enrolled in the study. Results. No difference was found in the baseline values on the operative and control sides (71.15% vs 76.76%, p = 0.15). After carotid clamping regional brain saturation decreased by 4.34% of the baseline on the operative side. During the clamping cerebral oxygenation was lower on the operative side (68.06% vs 77.32%, p = 0.03). Following carotid declamping the difference between operative and control side oxygenation diminished (73.57% vs 79.30%, p = 0.16). Neither diabetes nor peripheral atherosclerosis had influence on baseline cerebral oxygen saturation values. There was a tendency towards the lower cerebral oxygenation baseline for smokers (70.12% vs 76.54%, p = 0.103). Conclusions. Cerebral oximetry is a valuable method of cerebral monitoring reflecting changes in brain perfusion during carotid endarterectomy. Certain comorbidities might have a role in affecting baseline oximetry values.

AbstractBackground:Cross-clamp ischemia during carotid endarterectomy can be prevented with carotid bypass shunts in vulnerable patients identified by cerebral monitoring for ischemia. We compared transcranial cerebral oximetry (TCO) with carotid stump pressure measurements for selective shunt use.Methods:We prospectively collected data on 300 consecutive patients operated on under general anesthesia between 2009 and 2016. Shunts were inserted for a 10% or greater drop in cerebral saturations and/or a mean stump pressure less than 40 mmHg.Results:Seventy-five patients, 25% of the study population, were shunted. The indication was a combined desaturation and stump pressure in 38 (50% of the shunted group), desaturation alone in 11 patients (15%), and a low stump pressure alone in 26 patients (35%). There were no significant differences in baseline characteristics between those patients who were or were not shunted, except angiographic collateral blood supply, which was more commonly identified in patients who were not shunted. A watershed infarct occurred in just one patient with borderline TCO and stump pressure measurements in whom a shunt was not used.Conclusions:There was poor concordance between TCO and stump pressures, but using both in determining the need for shunt use almost eliminated cross-clamp ischemia in this series of 300 carotid endarterectomy patients.

Background: Cross-clamp ischemia during carotid endarterectomy (CEA) can cause perioperative stroke. Selectively shunting patients based on intraoperative monitoring modalities that assess risk for ischemia can reduce the occurrence of immediate stroke. An experience with combined cerebral oximetry and stump pressure measurement to direct selective shunting is presented here. Methods: Study comparing intraoperative monitoring data, the decision to shunt, and presence of immediate post-operative deficits. Patients were shunted if either cerebral oxygen saturation dropped by more than 10% by cerebral oximetry, or stump pressure during cross-clamping was less than 40 mmHg. Cross-clamp ischemia was determined by the presence of ipsilateral neurological deficit upon awakening. Results: 245 patients were included in this study. 22% were shunted. Patients who were not shunted were significantly more likely to have collateral blood flow detected on angiography. Immediate post-operative stroke was not encountered in any of the patients included in the study. One patient who met shunting criteria but was excluded since he could not have a shunt inserted due to difficult anatomy did suffer stroke. Conclusions: With the dual-monitoring criteria presented here, 22% of patients were shunted. With the exception of one patient who could not have a shunt placed, no immediate post-operative stroke was encountered.
