Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to examine the mechanisms of brain injury contributing to postoperative neurocognitive disorders (PNCD) in an at-risk population (obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)) undergoing surgery. The investigators will enroll 50 OSA patients scheduled for surgery. All patients will have a brain scan (fMRI) within five days before surgery and two days and six months after surgery. During this visit cognitive function will be assessed using the Wide Range Assessment of Memory and Learning (WRAML2) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) tests. Patients will also be asked to participate in a blood draw during the first 2 visits for fMRI (within five days of surgery and two days after surgery). The Confusion Assessment Method (CAM-S) test, will be used to examine postoperative delirium.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The investigators will examine the potential mechanisms of brain injury contributing to postoperative neurocognitive disorders (PNCD) in an at-risk population (obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)). This study proposes that neuro-inflammation is associated with measurable tissue changes that can be examined with MD measures and blood biomarkers.

On the day of surgery, standard of care procedures will take place. Hemodynamic vitals will be continuously monitored. As per the latest guidelines and recommendations from the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA), mean arterial pressure (MAP) will be targeted to \> 60 mmHg or within 20% of baseline values, and processed EEG-guided anesthesia will be monitored to maintain a patient state index between 20-50. Electronic medical records and intraoperative integrated physiologic waveform will be collected.

In summary, the investigators will examine the potential mechanisms of brain injury contributing to postoperative delirium (POD) and acute and long-lasting neurocognitive deficits in an at-risk population (OSA).
