Post-Operative Cognitive Dysfunction in Elderly Patients Receiving Propofol Sedation for Gastrointestinal Endoscopies: An Observational Study Utilizing Processed Electroencephalography

Background: Propofol sedation is commonly administered during gastrointestinal (GI) procedures. The Patient State Index (PSI) is a processed electroencephalography (EEG) parameter obtained with the SedLine(®) Sedation Monitoring system (Masimo Corporation, Irvine, CA). When used to objectively asses...

description Background: Propofol sedation is commonly administered during gastrointestinal (GI) procedures. The Patient State Index (PSI) is a processed electroencephalography (EEG) parameter obtained with the SedLine(®) Sedation Monitoring system (Masimo Corporation, Irvine, CA). When used to objectively assess the patient’s level of consciousness, PSI may provide a more effective, safer titration of sedation during GI procedures. We hypothesize that having more or longer episodes of deep sedation as assessed by PSI (i.e., PSI<26) would correlate with developing new-onset or worsening post-operative cognitive dysfunction (POCD). Methods: This was a pragmatic, double-blinded observational study of 400 patients aged ≥65 years undergoing upper GI endoscopy, lower GI endoscopy, or a combined procedure utilizing propofol sedation at a tertiary-care [A1] academic medical center. The patients were monitored with the SedLine(®) Brain Function Monitor, software version 2 (Masimo Corporation, Irvine, CA), throughout the case, starting at baseline (i.e., before administration of propofol) and stopping at case end. We assessed the subjects’ cognitive function via an in-person interview at baseline (pre-procedure) and telephone interviews at 1, 7 (±1), and 90 days after study enrollment. Cognitive function was assessed by administering the short blessed test (SBT), which is a validated brief cognitive screening appropriate for in-person and telephone administration. Results: The correlations between the change in SBT score and the pre-defined parameters of PSI were not significant (all p-values >5%). There was a significant drop in SBT scores on day seven. Higher age was also significantly associated with a drop in SBT from baseline. Deep sedation, as evidenced by the number of times PSI was lower than 26, was not predictive of the change in SBT, nor was gender, total propofol dose, or vasoactive drug use during the procedure. Conclusions: The observed incidence of POCD after GI procedures with propofol sedation was low (1.3% at seven days and 2.95% at 90 days) and lower than at the baseline. Age was associated with a greater average decline in SBT score, although the absolute change was small (−0.067 per year of age increase). Deeper sedation, as documented by the PSI score, was not associated with a change in POCD measured with the SBT.
