Response - NO
Brief Summary   Prone position is frequently used for the surgical approach to the spine. The physiological alterations due to prone position such as a decrease in mean arterial pressure can lead to decreased cerebral perfusion pressure. However, proning the patient has several advantages such as improved ventilation – leading to increased cerebral oxygenation. Currently, Sevoflurane and Propofol are the anaesthetic agents of choice for neurosurgical patients. Although both these agents preserve cerebral autoregulation and maintain flow metabolism coupling, their mechanism of action and effects on cerebral hemodynamics differ. Transcranial doppler (TCD) is a simple, non-invasive bedside test which measures the middle cerebral artery velocity (MCA) that is a surrogate marker for cerebral blood flow. Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) gives a non-invasive measurement of cerebral oxygenation. Hence, with the help of this study we want to study the effect of these agents on cerebral hemodynamics (using TCD) and cerebral oxygenation (using NIRS) in prone position.
