Effects of regional cerebral oxygen saturation monitoring on postoperative cognitive dysfunction in older patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is common after surgery and anesthesia, particularly in older patients. It has been reported that regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO₂) monitoring potentially influences the occurrence of POCD. However, its role in the prevention of POCD remains controversial in older patients. Additionally, the quality of evidence on this topic is still relatively poor.

Methods

The electronic databases PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library were systematically searched using the indicated keywords from their inception to June 10, 2022. We limited our meta-analysis to randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that assessed the effects of rSO₂ monitoring on POCD in older patients. Methodological quality a
