Time to first neurological exam

Summary

The objective of this pilot study is to analyze the differences in time to first
 postoperative neurological examination (cranial nerve XII - tongue movement, movement of
 extremities) and intraoperative hemodynamic stability with three different general anesthetic
 techniques that are used for carotid endarterectomy. Carotid endarterectomy surgery removes
 the plaque and stenosis but has a 1-3% risk of periprocedural stroke or death. The ability to
 detect neurological abnormalities early after surgery is vital in this patient population to
 facilitate timely additional diagnostics or interventions if a potential stroke is detected.
 Anesthetic techniques that facilitate an earlier reliable neurological exam will thus greatly
 benefit this surgical patient population. The primary objective of this pilot study is to
 determine the time difference from end of surgery to first neurologic exam between three
 commonly used anesthetic methods for carotid endareterectomy.
