What Is the Risk of Intraoperative Cerebral Oxygen Desaturation in Patients Undergoing Shoulder Surgery in the Beach Chair Position?

CONCLUSION: The intraoperative cerebral desaturation risk in the beach chair position was high. Female sex was an intraoperative cerebral desaturation risk factor. However, there was no association between intraoperative cerebral desaturation and postoperative cognitive decline. Patients with hypertension and dyslipidemia are at risk of intraoperative hypotension after positioning. Further large-scale studies are required to identify intraoperative cerebral desaturation-associated adverse neurologic outcome.LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level II, therapeutic study.PMID:34128914 | DOI:10.1097/CORR.0000000000001864
