Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Expected Outcome 1:It is expected to find an alteration in cerebral compliance following the patient’s positioning in Trendelenburg and pneumoperitoneum insufflation, verified using the Brain4care method, based on the detection of at least a 5% variation between pre- and post-positioning measurements;Observed Outcome 1: The baseline P2/P1 ratio was 0.78 ± 0.17. An alteration in cerebral compliance was observed in 31.25% of patients immediately after Trendelenburg positioning, in half of the 28 patients with a Trendelenburg duration greater than 120 minutes, verified using the Brain4care device and P2/P1 waveform analysis

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Expected Outcome 2: To identify a correlation between cerebral compliance measurements (P2/P1 ratio), optic nerve sheath diameter, and cerebral oximetry, as well as to identify risk factors associated with altered cerebral compliance;Observed Outcome 2: Patients with reduced cerebral compliance (P2/P1 > 1.2) were older (68.1 ± 6.7 vs. 61.9 ± 9.2 years; p = 0.01), had lower body weight (mean 73.0 vs. 85.4 kg; p = 0.005), presented with longer surgical time (median 210 vs. 170 minutes; p = 0.03), and exhibited a greater postoperative decline in MoCA score (-3 points; p = 0.04). When comparing noninvasive monitoring methods, a positive correlation was observed only between P2/P1 = 1.2 and increased cerebral oximetry after 30 minutes of Trendelenburg positioning
