Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the impact of intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) on stroke and operative mortality after coronary and/or valvular operations. METHODS This was an observational study of coronary and/or valvular heart operations from 2010 to 2021. Baseline characteristics and postoperative outcomes were compared by the use or non-use of IONM, which included both electroencephalography and somatosensory-evoked potentials. Propensity-score matching was employed to assess the association of IONM usage with operative mortality and stroke. RESULTS A total of 19 299 patients underwent a cardiac operation, of which 589 (3.1%) had IONM. Patients with IONM were more likely to have had baseline cerebrovascular disease (60% vs 22%). Patients with IONM had increased operative mortality (5.3% vs 2.5%) and stroke (4.9% vs 1.9%). Moreover, stroke and mortality were highly correlated, with 14% of strokes resulting in death, while only 2% of non-strokes resulted in death (p<0.001). The unadjusted Kaplan-Meier survival estimate was significantly lower among the group with IONM (p<0.001, log-rank). After propensity matching, however, there was no difference in operative mortality or stroke across each group: 3.6% vs 5.3% for mortality and 3.7% vs 5.4% for stroke. In the propensity-matched cohort, the Kaplan-Meier survival estimates were not significantly different across each group (p=0.419, log-rank). CONCLUSIONS Adjusting for baseline risk, there was no significant difference in adverse outcomes across each group. IONM may serve as a biomarker of cerebral ischaemia, and empirical adjustments based on changes may provide benefits for neurologic outcomes in high-risk patients. The efficacy of IONM during cardiac surgery should be prospectively validated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neuromonitoring during carotid endarterectomy (CEA) under general anesthesia is desirable and may be useful for preventing brain ischemia, but the selection of the most appropriate method remains controversial. PURPOSE To determine the effectiveness of near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) compared to multimodality intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) in indicating elective shunts and predicting postoperative neurological status. METHODS This is a retrospective observational study including 86 consecutive patients with CEA under general anesthesia. NIRS and multimodality IONM were performed during the procedure. IONM included electroencephalography (EEG), somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs) and transcranial motor-evoked potentials (TcMEPs). Sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values (PPV and NPV) were calculated for each neuromonitoring modality. RESULTS NIRS presented a sensitivity and a specificity for detecting brain ischemia of 77.7% and 89.6%, respectively (PPV = 46.6% and NPV = 97.2%). In contrast, a 100% sensitivity and specificity for multimodality IONM was determined (PPV and NPV = 100%). No significant difference (in demographical or clinical data) between "true positive" and "false-positive" patients was identified. Among the methods included in multimodality IONM, EEG showed the best results for predicting postoperative outcome after CEA (PPV and NPV=100%). CONCLUSION NIRS is inferior to multimodality IONM in detecting brain ischemia and predicting postoperative neurological status during CEA under general anesthesia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) can detect large vessel occlusion (LVO) in real-time during surgery. The aim of this study was to conduct a cost-benefit analysis of utilizing IONM among patients undergoing cardiac surgery. METHODS A decision-analysis tree with terminal Markov nodes was constructed to model functional outcome, as measured via the modified Rankin Scale (mRS), among 65-year-old patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Our cost-benefit analysis compares the use of IONM (electroencephalography and somatosensory evoked potential) against no IONM in preventing neurological complications from perioperative LVO during cardiac surgery. The study was performed over a lifetime horizon from a societal perspective in the United States. Base case and one-way probabilistic sensitivity analyses were performed. RESULTS At a baseline LVO rate of 0.31%, the mean attributable lifetime expenditure for IONM-monitored cardiac surgeries relative to unmonitored cardiac surgeries was $1047.41 (95% CI, $742.12 - $1445.10). At a critical LVO rate of approximately 3.67%, the costs of both monitored and unmonitored cardiac surgeries were the same. Above this critical rate, implementing IONM became cost-saving. On one-way sensitivity analysis, variation in LVO rate from 0% - 10% caused lifetime costs attributable to receiving IONM to range from $1150.47 - $29404.61; variations in IONM cost, percentage of intervenable LVOs, IONM sensitivity, and mechanical thrombectomy cost exerted comparably minimal influence over lifetime costs. DISCUSSION We find considerable cost savings favoring the use of IONM under certain parameters corresponding to high-risk patients. This study will provide financial perspective to policymakers, clinicians, and patients alike on the appropriate use of IONM during cardiac surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In recent years, transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR) has emerged as a safe and effective alternative to carotid artery stenting. While intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) techniques such as electroencephalogram (EEG) and somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs) are often employed during TCAR, there is limited research on their diagnostic accuracy. METHODS The authors retrospectively reviewed a multi-institutional IONM database of TCAR procedures performed with EEG and SSEP monitoring. A total of 516 TCAR procedures were included in this study. Significant changes in EEG and/or SSEPs, surgeon's interventions, resolution of significant changes, and immediate postoperative neurological outcome were documented. Sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values were calculated. RESULTS The incidence of intraoperative onset new neurologic deficit was 0.4%. Significant changes in EEG and/or SSEPs occurred in 5.4% of the cases. Of the cases with IONM alerts, 78.5% returned to baseline with a surgical or hemodynamic intervention. From the cases with unresolved IONM alerts, 33.3% woke up with a new neurological deficit. The overall sensitivity and specificity for IONM was 100% and 99.2%, respectively. The positive predictive value was 33.3% and the negative predictive value was 100%. CONCLUSIONS IONM during TCAR offers high sensitivity and specificity in predicting postoperative outcome. Patients with resolved IONM alerts had immediate neurological outcomes that were comparable to those who had no IONM alerts.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Postoperative delirium (POD) can occur in up to 50% of older patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery, resulting in hospitalization and significant morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to determine whether intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring (IONM) modalities can be used to predict delirium in patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery. DESIGN Adult patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery with IONM between 2019 and 2021 were reviewed retrospectively. Delirium was assessed multiple times using the Intensive Care Delirium Screening Checklist (ICDSC). Patients with an ICDSC score ≥4 were considered to have POD. Significant IONM changes were evaluated based on a visual review of electroencephalography (EEG) and somatosensory evoked potentials data and documentation of significant changes during surgery. SETTING University of Pittsburgh Medical Center hospitals. PARTICIPANTS Patients 18 years old and older undergoing cardiovascular surgery with IONM monitoring. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Of the 578 patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery with IONM, 126 had POD (21.8%). Significant IONM changes were noted in 134 patients, of whom 49 patients had delirium (36.6%). In contrast, 444 patients had no IONM changes during surgery, of whom 77 (17.3%) patients had POD. Upon multivariate analysis, IONM changes were associated with POD (odds ratio 2.12; 95% CI 1.31-3.44; p < 0.001). Additionally, baseline EEG abnormalities were associated with POD (p = 0.002). CONCLUSION Significant IONM changes are associated with an increased risk of POD in patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery. These findings offer a basis for future research and analysis of EEG and somatosensory evoked potential monitoring to predict, detect, and prevent POD.

Abstract
Intra-operative monitoring has been a crucial tool in modern neurosurgery as it allows to optimize surgical outcome whilst reducing neurological deficits. Somatosensory evoked potentials are routinely monitored in most spinal and brain surgeries due to providing invaluable information regarding the functional integrity of sensory pathways. The use of this neurophysiological technique is particular useful when positioning patients in semi-sitting position during posterior fossa surgery. However, there is general agreement within the intra-operative neuromonitoring community that either upper or lower limb SSEPs monitoring typically suffice. Nonetheless, we report a case study of a patient in whom lower limb SSEPs were independently affected from upper limb SSEPs during positioning. In this respect, we suggest that both upper and lower limb SSEPs monitoring should be considered during semi-sitting positioning in patients undergoing posterior fossa surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR) has become more prevalent as a treatment modality for carotid stenosis. Many centers perform TCAR without any adjunctive neuromonitoring, for example, somatosensory-evoked potential (SSEP) and electroencephalogram (EEG). METHODS We present a case of transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR) performed with concomitant somatosensory-evoked potential (SSEP) and electroencephalogram (EEG) neuromonitoring in the setting of concerning intraoperative angiographic images. RESULTS TCAR was undertaken for a 58 year-old man presenting with symptomatic left carotid stenosis and right ICA occlusion. Based on his comorbidities, pre-existing conditions, and the need for dual antiplatelet therapy, TCAR was offered as an alternative to standard carotid endarterectomy. Intraoperatively, following stent delivery, no flow was appreciated through the carotid stent or distal ICA. Neuromonitoring remained stable and was reassuring for distal ICA spasm with no-reflow phenomenon. The patient tolerated the procedure well and has had no stent-related complications through 10 months of follow-up. CONCLUSION This case highlights the utility of neuromonitoring with TCAR as an adjunct to intraoperative decision-making in the setting of suspected internal carotid artery (ICA) vasospasm versus thrombosis after stent delivery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS In order to systematically review the latest evidence on anesthesia, intraoperative neurologic monitoring, postoperative heparin reversal, and postoperative blood pressure management for carotid endarterectomy. The present review is based on a single chapter of the Italian Health Institute Guidelines for diagnosis and treatment of extracranial carotid stenosis and stroke prevention. METHODS AND RESULTS A systematic article review focused on the previously cited topics published between January 2016 and October 2020 has been performed; we looked for both primary and secondary studies in the extensive archive of Medline/PubMed and Cochrane library databases. We selected 14 systematic reviews and meta-analyses, 13 randomized controlled trials, 8 observational studies, and 1 narrative review. Based on this analysis, syntheses of the available evidence were shared and recommendations were indicated complying with the GRADE-SIGN version methodology. CONCLUSIONS From this up-to-date analysis, it has emerged that any type of anesthesia and neurological monitoring method is related to a better outcome after carotid endarterectomy. In addition, insufficient evidence was found to justify reversal or no-reversal of heparin at the end of surgery. Furthermore, despite a low evidence level, a suggestion for blood pressure monitoring in the postoperative period was formulated.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Carotid endarterectomy is recommended for the prevention of ischaemic stroke due to carotid stenosis. However, the risk of stroke after carotid endarterectomy has been estimated at 2% - 5%. Monitoring intra-operative cerebral oxygenation with near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has been assessed as a strategy to reduce intra- and post-operative complications. The aim was to summarise the diagnostic accuracy of NIRS to detect intra-operative ischaemic events, the values associated with ischaemic events, and the relative contribution of external carotid contamination to the NIRS signal in adults undergoing carotid endarterectomy. DATA SOURCES EMBASE, MEDLINE, Cochrane Centre Register of Controlled Trials, and reference lists through May 2019 were searched. REVIEW METHODS Non-randomised and randomised studies assessing NIRS as an intra-operative monitoring tool in carotid endarterectomy were included. Studies using NIRS as the reference were excluded. Risk of bias was assessed using the Newcastle Ottawa Scale, RoB-2, and QUADAS-2. RESULTS Seventy-six studies were included (n = 8 480), under local (n = 1 864) or general (n = 6 582) anaesthesia. Seven studies were eligible for meta-analysis (n = 524). As a tool for identifying intra-operative ischaemia, specificity increased with more stringent NIRS thresholds, while there was unpredictable variation in sensitivity across studies. A Δ20% threshold under local anaesthesia resulted in pooled estimates for sensitivity and specificity of 70.5% (95% confidence interval, CI, 54.1 - 82.9) and 92.4% (95% CI 85.5 - 96.1) compared with awake neurological monitoring. These studies had low or unclear risk of bias. NIRS signal consistently dropped across clamping and recovered to pre-clamp values upon de-clamp in most studies, and larger decreases were observed in patients with ischaemic events. The contribution of extracranial signal to change in signal across clamp varied from 3% to 50%. CONCLUSION NIRS has low sensitivity and high specificity to identify intra-operative ischaemia compared with awake monitoring. Extracranial signal contribution was highly variable. Ultimately, data from high quality studies are desperately needed to determine the utility of NIRS.

Abstract
Contingency data was retrospectively collected to evaluate the historical and current ability to provide multimodality intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring during carotid endarterectomy under two conditions: total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA) and low dose halogenated anaesthesia (SEVO). 229 patients were monitored during carotid endarterectomy procedures under general anaesthesia between 2012 and 2020. 121 Patients were monitored with SEVO at a minimum alveolar concentration less than 0.7 and 108 were monitored using TIVA, according to common anaesthetic practice standards in our hospital across the years. Multimodality IONM was established with electroencephalography, somatosensory evoked potentials and motor evoked potentials. As compared to TIVA, patients monitored with SEVO showed significantly higher motor evoked potential thresholds (313.52 ± 77.74 SEVO and 218.93 V ± 103.2 V TIVA p < 0.05) and lower reproducibility. Electroencephalography and somatosensory evoked potentials showed no significant differences among the groups. When using SEVO, multimodality intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring during carotid endarterectomy could mask or miss a motor isolated change in patients in spite of low dose minimum alveolar concentration and of apparently adequate electroencephalography and somatosensory evoked potentials for monitoring. Given these difficulties, we believe the chronological transfer to TIVA could have improved our ability to establish multimodality intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring during carotid endarterectomy in recent times.
