Abstract Objective To determine the relationship between intraoperative decreased renal and cerebral oxygen saturation, as measured using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), and cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) in adults. Methods..
Read MoreAbstract Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in cardiac surgery is associated with a high risk of postoperative neurological complications. Perioperative use of vasopressors is common to counteract arterial hypotension in this setting...
Read MoreAbstract Background We report a pediatric case where bilateral regional oxygen saturation (rSO2) measurements were useful in determining the selective cerebral perfusion (SCP) flow rate. Case presentation A 9-year-old Japanese..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction Cerebral oxygen desaturation during pediatric surgery has been associated with adverse perioperative outcomes. The aim of this pilot study was to analyze the frequency and severity of intraoperative..
Read MoreAbstract Objective This study aims to analyze the risk factors for early postoperative brain injury in patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery and explore the predictive value of transcranial color Doppler (TCCD)..
Read MoreAbstract Near-infrared spectroscopy is routinely used in the monitoring of cerebral regional oxygen saturation (crSO2) in neonates following congenital heart surgery. Decreased postoperative crSO2 variability in these patients is associated with..
Read MoreAbstract Impaired cerebral autoregulation (CA) can cause negative outcomes in neurological conditions. Real-time CA monitoring can predict and thereby help prevent postoperative complications for neurosurgery patients, especially those suffering from..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction In cardiac arrest, cerebral ischaemia and reperfusion injury mainly determine the neurological outcome. The aim of this study was to investigate the relation between the course of cerebral..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives The monitoring of cerebral tissue oxygen saturation by near-infrared spectroscopy (ScerebO2) is used widely in pediatric cardiac anesthesia. However, little information is available on the effects of changes..
Read MoreAbstract This review highlights vital details that can be easily overlooked and discuss how to identify and fix failed cannulation from another novel insight. Appropriate arterial cannulation strategy during cardiopulmonary..
Read MoreAbstract Baseline cerebral regional saturation (rSO2) measured using the INVOS 5100C (Medtronic, MN, USA) varies widely among patients with cardiac and/or renal diseases. To identify significant correlates of baseline rSO2 and..
