About this trial

The purpose of this clinical trial is to investigate the effect of multimodal brain monitoring under general anesthesia on postoperative outcomes in elderly patients undergoing abdominal surgery.The research hypothesis is that multimodal brain monitoring under general anesthesia can reduce the incidence of postoperative composite complications and improve postoperative outcomes in elderly patients undergoing major abdominal surgery.

Eligible patients will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to the Multimodal Brain Monitoring under General Anesthesia Group (MBMGA group) and the Bispectral Index Monitoring under General Anesthesia Group (BIS group). The primary outcome is the postoperative composite complication rate . Secondary outcomes include intraoperative hyperglycemia, adverse events during anesthesia induction and maintanance, changes in blood pressure and heart rate, intraoperative hypotension, the dosage of perioperative anesthetics and vasoactive drugs, changes in serum cortisol, cardiac troponin I, blood creatinine (Cr) level, extubation time and awake time, the rate of transferring to ICU or AICU, The time to first use analgesia pump and the cumulative dose of postoperative oxycodone, systemic complications, hospitalization time, first exhaust time , first oral intake time, rate of second surgery and mortality within 30 days postoperatively.

Participants will:

1. Undergo routine preoperative fasting for 6-8 hours; 2. Prior to anesthesia induction, cooperate with the establishment of intravenous access, arterial catheterization, monitoring of physiological parameters, blood sample collection, and receive fluid preloading; 3. During surgery, for patients in the MBMGA group , propofol and remifentanyl will be adjusted according to multimodal brain monitoring indices (WLi and PTi), while for patients in the BIS group, only propofol will be adjusted based on bispectral index and remifentanyl will be adjusted according to anesthesiologists' experience; simultaneously, vital signs, including respiration, body temperature, fluid therapy, blood pressure, and heart rate regulation, will be monitored and managed. 4. After surgery, endotracheal tubes will be removed once extubation criteria are met, and patients will be transferred to the PACU, where they will receive routine monitoring and will be discharged from the PACU upon meeting corresponding scoring criteria; 5. Participates in follow-ups on the day of surgery and for 1-30 days postoperatively, during which investigators will record the primary outcome and secondary outcomes.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Multimodal brain monitoring guided anesthesia

    Other intervention

    During the anesthesia induction phase, the dosage administration is guided by the goal of reducing PTi to the range of 40-70, and tracheal intubation is performed when both PTi and WLI are within 40-70. In the anesthesia maintenance phase, the propofol dosage is adjusted according to the WLI value to maintain WLI within 40-70, while the remifentanil dosage is adjusted based on the PTi value to keep PTi within 40-70. In the event of sudden increased intraoperative pain stimulation (PTi \> 70) accompanied by tachycardia and hypertension, an intravenous bolus of remifentanil at 0.5-1 μg/kg is administered; after 1 minute of observation, if PTi remains \> 70, an additional 0.5-1 μg/kg of remifentanil is given until PTi is brought back to the 40-70 range.

  • Bispectral Index(BIS) monitoring guided anesthesia

    Other intervention

    During the anesthesia induction phase, the dosage administration is guided by the goal of reducing BIS to the range of 40-60, with remifentanil supplemented based on clinical experience. In the anesthesia maintenance phase, the propofol dosage is adjusted according to BIS values to maintain BIS within 40-60, while the remifentanil dosage is adjusted based on anesthesiologists' experience. When there is a high suspicion of sudden tachycardia and hypertension induced by increased intraoperative pain stimulation, an intravenous bolus of remifentanil at 0.5-1 μg/kg is administered; after 1 minute of observation, if heart rate and blood pressure show no improvement, an additional 0.5-1 μg/kg of remifentanil is given until there is a downward trend in heart rate and blood pressure and they return to pre-stimulation levels.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Incidence of Postoperative Composite Complication

The incidence of ≥ 1 complication occurred from the extubation to the 30 th day postoperatively The definition of postoperative composite complications refers to the rate of occurrence of one or more complications from the time of anesthesia extubation to postoperative day 7 (or the day of discharge) and within 30 days after surgery. Postoperative complications are defined as adverse events of Clavien Dindo grade II or higher occurring in any system from postoperative day 1 to day 7 (or the day of discharge) and within 30 days after surgery.

Time frame
From post-extubation to postoperative Day 30

Secondary outcomes

1

Incidence of intraoperative stress-induced hyperglycemia

Intraoperative stress hyperglycemia is defined as: A condition diagnosed when a patient meeting all the following criteria: Preoperative glycemic status: Two or more fasting blood glucose measurements \< 126 mg/dL (≈7.0 mmol/L) or Random blood glucose \< 200 mg/dL (≈11.1 mmol/L) during hospitalization, With concurrent HbA1c \< 6.5%; Intraoperative finding: Highest blood glucose level ≥ 140 mg/dL (≈7.8 mmol/L) when measured at: 1 hour after intubation and/or Upon completion of surgery.

Time frame
From anesthesia induction to skin closure, assessed up to 5 minutes after surgery
2

Incidence of intraoperative composite adverse events

Observe and record the incidence of intraoperative composite adverse events . Adverse events include but are not limited to: 1. Cardiovascular Complications: * Hypotension * Hypertension * Severe Arrhythmia ④Acute Myocardial Ischemia * Acute Myocardial Infarction ⑥Acute Pulmonary Embolism * Acute Heart Failure ⑧Deep Vein Thrombosis 2. Respiratory Complications: * Pneumonia * Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) * Pulmonary Edema ④Respiratory Failure ⑤Bronchospasm ⑥Atelectasis ⑦Pleural Effusion 3. Neurological Complications: ①Intraoperative Awareness ②Acute Stroke 4. Renal Complications: * Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) ②Acute Renal Failure (ARF)

Time frame
during operation, assessed up to 5 minutes after surgery
3

Blood pressure change immediately after intubation

Record blood pressure before induction and immediately after completion of intubation, and calculate the magnitude of change.

Time frame
at anesthesia induction and immediately after intubation, assessed up to 10 seconds after intubation
4

Duration of intraoperative hypotension

Parameters to be recorded: Duration of intraoperative hypotension; Hypotension is defined as: Mean arterial pressure \< 65 mmHg or decrease of mean arterial pressure \> 20% from preoperative baseline value.

Time frame
From the anesthesia induction to the end of surgery, assesed up to 5 minutes after surgery
