Association between periprocedural cerebral desaturation during transcatheter aortic valve implantation and postprocedural delirium: a prospective observational study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe aim of this study was to investigate whether the level of decrease in cerebral oxygen saturation during the valve placement phase of the transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) procedure under sedation has an effect on postoperative delirium (POD).
methodsThe study initially assessed 50 patients between the ages of 50 and 90 years with an indication for TAVI by the cardiac team. Regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rScO2) was measured using Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) before the procedure (T1), during surgical field sterilization (T2), catheter placement (T3), wire manipulation (T4), valve placement (T5) and access site artery repair (T6). Confusion Assessment Method for The Intensive Care Unit (ICU-CAM) test was performed on intensive care unit and the presence of POD was questioned. Patients were divided into two groups as those without POD (Group 1) and those with POD (Group 2).
resultsThe study was completed with 41 patients in total. While POD was present in 12 (29.3%) of the patients evaluated intensive care unit, POD was not observed in 29 (70.7%) patients. The rScO2 value measured at T5 was significantly lower in Group 2 compared to Group 1 (p < 0.001).
conclusionsIn our study, the rate of POD after TAVI was as high as 29.3%. Low rScO2 during valve placement was associated with delirium. Our findings indicate that NIRS devices could be a useful tool for assessing the risk of POD during the TAVI procedure; however, further research is needed to validate their routine clinical use.
