Conditions

Carotid Endarterectomy

Brief summary

The objective of this study is to show that, in patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy, brain damage, assessed by the determination of S100B before removing the clamp, is less severe with a balanced anesthesia consisting of remifentanil combined with Xenon (experimental arm) compared with remifentanil anesthesia associated with propofol (reference arm).

Interventions

DRUGAnesthesia with Xenon

Patients undergo anesthesia with xenon (remifentanil with xenon).

Patients undergo standard anesthesia (remifentanil with propofol)

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Presence/absence of S100B > 0.2 ng/ml during surgeryDuring surgery (expected mean time of around 120 minutes)Presence/absence of S100 calcium binding protein B concentration after induction and before the removal of the radial arterial catheter clamp placed before induction

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change in creatine clearance from baselineend of surgery (expected mean of 2 hours)Change in creatine clearance (MDRD equation) between preoperative and postoperative measurements
S100B change relative to baselineend of surgery (expected mean of 120 minutes)The change in S100 calcium binding protein B concentration before and after surgery (ng/ml)
Change NIHSS score from baselineend of surgery (expected mean of 2 hours)Change in the National Institute of Health Stroke Score (NIHSS) between preoperative and postoperative measurements
NSE change from baselineend of surgery (expected mean of 2 hours), just before clamp removalThe change in Neuron Specific Enolase (NSE) between a preoperative measurement and a second measurement near the end of surgery and just before clamp removal
Change in troponine from baselineend of surgery (expected mean of 2 hours)Change in tropinine between preoperative and postoperative measurements
Change in creatinemia from baselineend of surgery (expected mean of 2 hours)Change in creatinemia between preoperative and postoperative measurements
Number of transfusionsDuring surgery (estimated mean of 120 minutes)Number of transfused red blood cell packs
