The Effects of Positive-pressure Ventilation on Cerebral Oxygenation and Cardiac Output in Total Shoulder Arthroplasty.

The purpose of this study is to measure cerebral oxygenation and cardiac output of total
shoulder replacement patients undergoing general anesthesia (GA) and positive-pressure
ventilation (PPV).

We hypothesize that cerebral desaturation occurs frequently during GA with PPV, but is rare
during GA and spontaneous ventilation. We also hypothesize that cardiac output usually is
well maintained under GA in the sitting position when epinephrine is used, but that decreased
cardiac output increases the risk of cerebral desaturation.

- Current stress test positive for ischemia

- Intolerance to study medications

- pre-existing contraindication to regional anesthesia

- infection at block site
