Why the study?
Heart rate variability reflects autonomic nervous system activity and potential stress-related cardiovascular disease risk, but whether physical and mental strain during cerebral endovascular procedures influences surgeon time-domain HRV parameters was unknown.
Does performing interventional neuroendovascular procedures compared to diagnostic procedures increase cardiovascular stress (measured by HR and HRV) in a neurosurgeon?
Population
Single neurosurgeon performing 50 diagnostic and interventional neuroendovascular procedures
Comparison
Diagnostic vs interventional procedures, measured before, during, and after performing endovascular procedures
Design
Observational study

Interventional procedures are associated with greater operator cardiovascular stress than diagnostic cases; leaves open whether.
Does performing interventional neuroendovascular procedures compared to diagnostic procedures increase cardiovascular stress (measured by HR and HRV) in a neurosurgeon?
Performing interventional neuroendovascular procedures induces greater cardiovascular and mental stress in the operating surgeon compared to diagnostic procedures, as measured by decreased heart rate variability and increased heart rate.
