Study aim
-
Prevention of cognitive disorders using cerebral oximetry in patients undergoing heart surgery requiring extracorporeal circulation
-
Design
-
A concealed, randomized,three way blinded, controlled clinical trial with a parallel group design of 100 patients.For randomization, the method of random allocation law and the website www.randomization.com are used, and for allocation concealment, sealed envelopes are used.
-
Settings and conduct
-
After selection and obtaining consent from the participant, randomization and concealment are done. There are 100 participants in total, and there are equal numbers in two intervention and control groups. Subjects will be tested for mental function before the operation and eight days after the operation. Cerebral oximetry is used in the intervention group and not used in the control group. The study is three-way blind: the participant does not know which group he is in, the researcher does not know which group the person being tested is in, the evaluators are analyzing the test results and does not know which group they are in .

-
Intervention groups
-
In the intervention group, during extracorporeal blood circulation, cerebral oximetry is used, and by using this tool, changes in blood pressure and blood gases are also applied according to the result of cerebral oximetry. In the control group, cerebral oximetry is not used and changes in blood pressure and blood gases are adjusted according to standard values.
