Abstract:Objective To investigate the variation trend of intraoperative cerebral regional oxygen saturation (rScO2) in patients with off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) and convention coronary artery bypass grafting (CCABG). Methods A total of 105 patients with cardiac surgery in our hospital were selected from 2018.02 to 2019.06 and divided into OPCAB group (n = 56) and CCABG group (n = 49). Intraoperative rScO2 levels were detected at T0 to T9 time points. The postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) during 5 to 7 d after surgery. Results Compared with OPCAB group, the surgery duration in CCABG group was longer (P < 0.05); intraoperative nasopharyngeal temperature and the lowest hematocrit value (HCT) were lower, and the highest glucose and lactate levels were higher (P < 0.05). But there was no statistical difference of the lowest rScO2 level between OPCAB group and CCABG group (P > 0.05). The rScO2 levels of the two groups among different time points, groups and trends were different (P < 0.05). By Pearson analysis, intraoperative rScO2 level was positive related with nasopharyngeal temperature or serum Lac level in CCABG group (r = 0.229, P = 0.005; r = 0.283,P = 0.002), while intraoperative rScO2 level was only positive related with serum Lac level in OPCAB group (r = 0.214, P = 0.010). The incidence of POCD in OPCAB group and CCABG group were respectively 39.29% (22/56) and 32.65% (16/49), while the lowest rScO2 level of POCD patients in CCABG group was lower than that of patients without POCD (P < 0.05). Conclusion It’s suggested that there would be difference of the variation trend of intraoperative rScO2 between OPCAB and CCABG, but which would be not the main reason for POCD incidence.
