Brief Summary

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

In this study, we investigated the effect of the capacity to cope with oxidative stress (oxidative stress response during and after clamping) in individuals with cerebral oximetry level between 40- 60 % and above 60 % and their effect on cognitive functions.

Methods: In this retrospective study, patients who were scheduled for carotid endarterectomy, examined the MOCA tests before and after the operation and collected blood samples intraoperatively were included between January 2020-2021. The time periods specified below, blood samples were taken and serums were frozen at -80 celcius all this patients. Montreal cognitive function assessment test was applied before the operation, 24 hours and 7 days after the operation. Ten mililiters venous blood samples were collected to examine the status of basal neuron specific enolase, S100B, oxydative stress parameters (HAF-1 and DAF-1) at time intervals. Time intervals as follow:

T1: Peripheral baseline measurements (blood will be taken from arterial blood sampling) + Cerebral Oxymeter levels + Montreal cognitive performance test + Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) T2: 1 minute before clamping (from peripheral and jugular vena blood sampling) + Cerebral Oxymeter levels T3: Before opening clamp(from peripheral and jugular vena blood sampling) + Cerebral Oxymeter levels T4: 24 hours after the procedure. (peripheral blood sampling) + Montreal cognitive performance test T5: 7 days after the operation. (peripheral blood sampling) + Montreal cognitive performance test + CO levels+ Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) Results: We found significantly positive corelation between cerebral oxymeter levels, oxydative stress parameters and cognitive performance tests in this six patient.

In this retrospective study, patients who were scheduled for carotid endarterectomy, examined the MOCA (Montreal cognitive assesment )tests before and after the operation and collected blood samples intraoperatively were included between January 2020-2021. The time periods specified below, blood samples were taken and serums were frozen at -80 celcius all this patients. Montreal cognitive function assessment test was applied before the operation, 24 hours and 7 days after the operation. Ten mililiters venous blood samples were collected to examine the status of basal neuron specific enolase, S100B, oxydative stress parameters (HAF-1 and DAF-1) at time intervals. Time intervals as follow:

T1: Peripheral baseline measurements (blood will be taken from arterial blood sampling) + Cerebral Oxymeter levels + MoCA + Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) T2: 1 minute before clamping (from peripheral and jugular vena blood sampling) + Cerebral Oxymeter levels T3: Before opening clamp(from peripheral and jugular vena blood sampling) + Cerebral Oxymeter levels T4: 24 hours after the procedure. (peripheral blood sampling) + MoCA test T5: 7 days after the operation. (peripheral blood sampling) + MoCA + CO levels+ Modified Rankin Scale The degree of stenosis was determined according to the North American Symptomatic Carotid Endarterectomy Trial (NASCET) criteria. Written informed consent form was obtained from the patients 1 day before the operation. Basal invasive arterial blood pressure, pulse oximetry, heart rate, cerebral perfusion pressure, cerebral oximetry levels records of all patients were taken as baseline values before the operation. During the operation, serum samples were taken and 5 ml blood samples were taken from the artery (peripheral) and 5 ml from the vena jugularis interna during the operation. Blood samples were immediately centrifuged at 15000 rpm for 15 minutes and the supernatant was collected. The supernatant was immediately stored at -80 °C for further analysis of oxidative stress and other parameters. The parameters studied are: Human NSE(Neuron Specific Enolase) ELISA Kit, Neuron Specific Enolase ELISA Kit, Human S100B (S100 Calcium Binding Protein B) ELISA Kit, HIF-1α (Hypoxia Inducible Factor 1 Alpha) ELISA Kit, Human DAF(Decay Accelerating Factor) ELISA Kit.

A. General anesthesia procedure: Anesthesia induction was performed with 1-2 mg/kg propofol, 1 mcg/kg fentanyl, 0.5 mg/kg rocuronium. Anesthesia was maintained with remifentanil infusion (0.05-0.1 mcg/kg/min), 1-2% sevoflurane (1 MAC), and rocuronium. Mechanical ventilation parameters were adjusted to be within the limits of end-tidal carbon dioxide normocarby (35-45mm Hg) (mean 40 mmHg). To prevent the development of bradycardia, 1% lidocaine was applied to the internal, external and common carotid arteries by the surgical team. Following systemic intravenous (5000 IU) heparin administration, carotid arterial cross-clamp was placed with appropriate active clotting time (\>200) B. Superficial and deep cervical blockade: It was done with 0.5% isobaric bupivacaine 15 ml + 2% prilocaine 5 ml.

ΔrSO2 (%) = 100 x (rSO2preclamping - rSO2baseline) / rSO2baseline Baseline rSO2 value, rSO2 measurement for each specific time point and %rSO2 change between them were continuously monitored by oximetry (Invos System 4100, Somonetics Corporation, Troy, MI, USA). The entire CEA surgical procedure was performed with the standardized technique in these 6 patients.

In the analysis phase, the patients were evaluated in 2 groups. Group 1: Basal cerebral oximetry levels between 41-60% Group 2: Basal cerebral oximetry levels \> 61%
