- Dynamic cerebral autoregulation: A marker of post-operative delirium?(2019) CALDAS, Juliana R.; PANERAI, Ronney B.; BOR-SENG-SHU, Edson; FERREIRA, Graziela S. R.; CAMARA, Ligia; PASSOS, R. H.; DE-LIMA-OLIVEIRA, Marcelo; GALAS, Filomena R. B. G.; ALMEIDA, Juliano P.; NOGUEIRA, Ricardo C.; MIAN, Natalia; GAIOTTO, Fabio A.; ROBINSON, Thompson G.; HAJJAR, Ludhmila A.Objective: We investigated the potential association of cerebral autoregulation (CA) with postoperative delirium (PD), a common complication of cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Methods: In patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery with CPB, cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV) and blood pressure (BP) were continuously recorded during 5-min preoperatively (T1), after 24 h (T2), and 7 days after procedure (T3). Prospective multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the independent risk factors of PD. Autoregulation index (ARI) was calculated from the CBFV response to a step change in BP derived by transfer function analysis. Results: In 67 patients, mean age 64.3 +/- 9.5 years, CA was depressed at T2 as shown by values of ARI (3.9 +/- 1.7), compared to T1 (5.6 +/- 1.7) and T3 (5.5 +/- 1.8) (p < 0.001). Impaired CA was found in 37 (55%) patients at T2 and in 7 patients (20%) at T3. Lower ARI at T1 and T2 were predictors of PD (p = 0.003). Conclusion: Dynamic CA was impaired after CABG surgery with CPB and was a significant independent risk factor of PD. Significance: Assessment of CA before and after surgery could have considerable potential for early identification of patients at risk of PD, thus reducing poor outcomes and length of stay.
