Conditions

Cervical Disc Disease, Cervical Disc Herniation, Cervical Stenosis

Keywords

Cerebral blood oxygenation, Near infrared spectroscopy, Cervical disc disease, Cervical microsurgery

Brief summary

In anterior cervical disc surgery, head and neck extansion position and, surgical retraction used while reaching the anterior surface of the cervical vertebra can be affect the carotid blood flow and constituting a risk for cerebral ischaemia. In this study, we planned to investigate the relationship between head position and retraction, cerebral oxygenation and postoperative cognitive functions in patients undergoing anterior cervical disc surgery.

Interventions

DEVICENear infrared spectroscopy

The Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) is the method used for monitorize the risk of the development of cerebral ischaemia while providing information about brain tissue oxygenation.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)IntraoperativeEvaluate the effect of head position and surgical retraction on brain oxygenization with NIRS. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a brain imaging method that measures light absorbance to calculate oxy-hemoglobin (oxy-HB) and deoxy-hemoglobin (deoxy-HB), which provides an indirect measure of brain activity, particularly in the frontal cortex.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Mini-Mental State Examination2 hours postoperativeEvaluate the effect of head position and surgical retraction on cognitive functions with using mini-mental state examination . A Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) is a set of 30 questions that commonly use to check for cognitive impairment (problems with thinking, communication, understanding and memory)
