Association between tissue oxygenation and myocardial injury in patients undergoing major spine surgery: a prospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To describe the association between intraoperative tissue oxygenation and postoperative troponin elevation in patients undergoing major spine surgery. We hypothesised that a decrease in intraoperative skeletal muscle tissue oxygenation (SmO₂) was associated with the peak postoperative cardiac troponin value.

Design

This is a prospective cohort study.

Setting

Single-centre, University of California San Francisco Medical Center.

Participants

Seventy adult patients undergoing major elective spine surgery.

Primary and secondary outcome measures

High-sensitivity troponin T (hsTnT) was measured in plasma preoperatively and on the first and second day after surgery to assess the primary outcome of peak postoperative hsTnT. Secondary outcome
