Study Summary

In the PATHFINDER 2 trial, the study investigators will test the intraoperative EEG-guided multimodal general anesthesia (MMGA) management strategy in combination with a postoperative protocolized analgesic approach to: 1. reduce the incidence of perioperative neurocognitive dysfunction in cardiac surgical patients 2. ensure hemodynamic stability and decrease use of vasopressors in the operating rooms 3. reduce pain and opioid consumption postoperatively

Primary Outcome

Plasma interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels will be measured at baseline, postoperative day 1, and postoperative day 2. The change in IL-6 concentration from baseline to each postoperative time point will be calculated and compared between the study groups.

Interventions

  • DRUG Ketamine
  • DRUG Dexmedetomidine
  • DRUG Ropivacaine
  • DRUG Remifentanil
  • DEVICE EEG Monitoring
