Abstract
Background
To investigate if the correlation between left and right cerebral tissue oxygen saturation (SctO2) was affected by one-lung ventilation (OLV) in patients undergoing lung cancer surgery.
Methods
Patients who underwent surgery for lung cancer were enrolled. Left and right SctO2 were collected during anesthesia. The primary outcome was the correlation between left and right SctO2 at 30 min after OLV which was analysed by Pearson correlation and linear regression model. Secondary outcomes included the trend of left–right SctO2 change over the first 30 min after OLV, correlation of left–right SctO2 during OLV for each patient; maximal difference between left–right SctO2 and its relationship with postoperative delirium.
Results
Left–right SctO2 was moderately correlated at baseline (r = 0.690, P < 0.001) and poorly correlated at 30 min after OLV (r = 0.383, P < 0.001) in the Pearson correlation analysis. Linear regression analysis showed a poor correlation between left and right SctO2 at 30 min after OLV (r = 0.323, P < 0.001) after adjusting for confounders. The linear mixed model showed a change in left–right SctO2 over the first 30 min after OLV that was statistically significant (coefficient, -0.042; 95% CI, -0.070–-0.014; P = 0.004). For the left–right SctO2 correlation during OLV in each patient, 62.9% (78/124) patients showed a strong correlation, 19.4% (24/124) a medium correlation, and the rest a poor correlation. The maximal difference between the left and right SctO2 was 13.5 (9.0, 20.0). Multivariate analysis showed that it was not associated with delirium (odds ratio [OR], 1.023; 95% CI, 0.963–1.087; P = 0.463).
Conclusions
The correlation between left and right SctO2 was affected by one-lung ventilation in patients undergoing lung cancer surgery. This result indicates the requirement of bilateral SctO2 monitoring to reflect brain oxygenation.
