Introduction: Near infra-red spectroscopy (NIRS) monitoring of cerebral, splanchnic and
renal′ regional oxygen saturation index′(rSO2) after heart surgery in children is …

Background The aim of this study is to determine the utility of non-invasive bedside
neuromonitoring, including cerebral regional oxygen saturation (rSO2) measured by near …

Objective: The present study is to describe the clinical impact of S100 and S100β for the
evaluation of cerebral damage in cardiac surgery with or without the use of cardiopulmonary …

A debate has emerged in recently published studies about the optimum cardiopulmonary
bypass temperature for good neurological outcome–warm vs. cold, ie normothermic vs …

Objectives The monitoring of cerebral tissue oxygen saturation by near-infrared
spectroscopy (S cereb O 2) is used widely in pediatric cardiac anesthesia. However, little …

Introduction: Over the last few years, near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has been introduced
to study cerebral haemodynamics and oxygenation. This paper points out how the use of an …

Objective: Hypothermia conventionally used in cardiopulmonary bypass necessitates
rewarming to normothermic temperatures, which has been shown to be associated with …

Background: Impaired cerebral oxygenation, which is reflected by measuring jugular bulb
oxygenation, is thought to play an important role in the development of neurological injury …

BACKGROUND: Brain damage is a serious complication of cardiac anesthesia. The
purpose of this study was to detect brain damage at different surgical stages during coronary …
