Regional cerebral oximetry using near-infrared spectroscopy devices is commonly used for
detecting cerebral ischemia during cardiopulmonary bypass, and aim to avoid poor cerebral …

BRAIN INJURY is a common complication during cardiac surgery and is defined by both
postoperative neurocogni tive decline (PONCD) and frank stroke, with rates as high as 50 …

Some neurological complications following surgery have been related to a mismatch in
cerebral oxygen supply and demand that may either lead to more subtle changes of brain …

Neuropsychological and neurological deficits are still major causes of mortality and
morbidity after cardiac operations and are thought to be caused by embolism and cerebral …

Noninvasive estimation of cerebral regional oxygen saturation (rScO 2) by means of near-
infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), first described more than 40 years ago, is currently commonly …

Objectives: Near-infrared spectrophotometry (NIRS) is a promising method for non-invasive
monitoring of cerebral oxygenation and hemodynamics. This paper reviews studies in which …

The use of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has been increasingly adopted in cardiac
surgery to measure regional cerebral oxygen saturation. This method takes advantage of the …

Object. Signal changes in adult extracranial tissues may have a profound effect on cerebral
near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) measurements. During carotid surgery NIRS signals …

Object Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) offers noninvasive bedside measurement of direct
regional cerebral arteriovenous (mixed) brain oxygenation. To validate the accuracy of this …

Objective: To minimize the neurological complications following cardiovascular surgery, it is
essential to prevent an occurrence of cerebrovascular embolism and to detect and solve …
