Background Regional cerebral oxygen saturation (SctO2) has recently been shown to
decrease significantly during thoracic surgery. The present study investigates whether these …

This prospective pilot study evaluated whether low preoperative cerebral tissue oxygen
saturation is associated with unfavourable outcomes after major elective non-cardiac …

Background: Decreased cerebral oximetry (rSO2) in cardiac surgery is associated with
postoperative delirium (POD). However, interventions optimizing intraoperative rSO2 are …

Purpose Function describes an individual's ability to perform everyday activities. In the
context of cardiac surgery, functional changes quantify the effect of surgery on one's day-to …

Background Despite evidence suggesting detrimental effects of perioperative hyperoxia,
hyperoxygenation remains commonplace in cardiac surgery. Hyperoxygenation may …

Methods 120 patients were randomized before surgery to one of two groups, control (CG) or
intervention (IG) with cerebral oximetry monitoring using FORE-SIGHT oximeter (CAS …

Methods. Fifty-four patients were monitored intraoperatively using the INVOS 4100 cerebral
oximeter; readings were maintained at levels of 40 or greater. Interventions used to increase …

Method Eight Canadian sites randomized 201 patients between April 2012 and October
2013. The primary outcome was the success rate of reversing cerebral desaturations below …
