Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Cerebrovascular autoregulation can be measured based on mean arterial pressure (MAP) and a surrogate for cerebral blood flow using the correlation method. Until today, measurement of cerebral blood flow velocity assessed with transcranial Doppler sonography (TCD) is most commonly used as a non-invasive surrogate for cerebral blood flow. Alternatively, cerebral oxygenation measured with near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) can be used as another surrogate.
The study includes three substudies:
1. To compare NIRS and TCD for the assessment of perioperative cerebrovascular autoregulation in patients undergoing major non-cardiac surgery with an increased risk of bleeding.
2. To compare MAP for optimal cerebrovascular autoregulation before induction of general anesthesia with MAP for optimal cerebrovascular autoregulation during or after general anesthesia.
3. To analyze the association between the time-weighted average MAP below the MAP for optimal cerebrovascular autoregulation and postoperative NCD.
