Observational Study
Risk Factors for Cerebral Desaturation Events During Shoulder Surgery in the Beach Chair Position.
The goals of this study were 2-fold: (1) to determine the risk factors for cerebral desaturation events (CDEs) after implementation of a comprehensive surgical and anesthetic protocol consisting of patient risk stratification, maintenance of normotensive anesthesia, and patient positioning in a staged fashion, and (2) to assess for subclinical neurologic decline associated with intraoperative ischemic events through cognitive testing. ⋯ Level II, prospective observational study with >80% follow-up.
