Abstract Background Current indicators for monitoring intraoperative organ function remain predominantly indirect, delayed and non-specific, particularly in paediatric populations undergoing congenital heart surgery, where multifactorial influences further complicate functional assessments. Emerging..

Abstract Objective Postoperative delirium remains a common complication after cardiac surgery in high-risk patients and has been associated with prolonged intensive care unit length of stay, overall morbidity, and mortality...

Abstract There is no consensus on the ideal sweep gas flow volume for achieving targeted blood partial gas pressures during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The sweep gas flow rate is one..

Abstract During pediatric cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) for congenital heart disease, systemic hemodynamics dramatically change, which also causes changes in the cerebral hemodynamics. One of the representative methods..

Abstract Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) provides cerebral oxygenation and blood flow (CBF) during neonatal congenital heart surgery, but the impacts of CPB on brain oxygen supply and metabolic demands are generally..

Abstract Introduction and Methods We examined the relationship between 24-h pre- and post-cannulation arterial oxygen tension (PaO2) and arterial carbon dioxide tension (PaCO2) and subsequent acute brain injury (ABI) in..

Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is used to achieve oxygenation and protect lung ventilation. Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) measures cerebral regional tissue oxygenation (rSO2)..

Abstract Background The present study aims to compare regional oxygen supply determined by Near-Infrared Spectroscopy in the course of pulsatile perfusion with non-pulsatile perfusion during cardiopulmonary bypass in patients undergoing..

Abstract Cerebral and somatic near-infrared spectroscopy monitors are commonly used to detect tissue oxygenation in various circumstances. This form of monitoring is based on tissue infrared absorption and can be..

Abstract There are no recommended guidelines for monitoring parameters during venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO). We evaluated whether regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rScO2) could be a monitoring parameter for mortality during..
