Recruitment Finalised: Prediction of post-operative cognitive decline following shoulder surgery in the beach chair position: the value of cerebral oximetry

Surgery to the shoulder may be performed with patients seated upright in a position known as the beach chair position (BCP). We have recently recruited our 200th and final participant in this study investigating cerebral oxygenation during shoulder surgery and the incidence of post-operative cognitive decline (POCD). Currently, evidence relating to POCD following surgery is [...]
