Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is widely used to monitor tissue oxygenation in the
pediatric cardiac surgical population. Clinicians who use NIRS must understand the …

Hemodynamic monitoring is a cornerstone in the assessment of patients with circulatory
shock. Timely recognition of hemodynamic compromise and proper optimisation is essential …

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 …

Regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rS o 2) obtained from near-infrared spectroscopy
(NIRS) provides valuable information during cardiac surgery. The rS o 2 is calculated from …

Background During cardiac surgery, transcranial Doppler (TCD) represents a non-invasive
modality that allows measurement of red blood cell flow velocities in the cerebral arteries …

Background The use of transcutaneous near‐infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) for monitoring
the perfusion of kidney and liver allografts has been proposed in the last years. This device …

Pulmonary complications are common after cardiac surgery and are closely related to
postoperative heart failure and adverse outcomes. Lung ultrasonography (LUS) is currently …

The use of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in the operating room and intensive
care unit can provide invaluable information on cardiac as well as abdominal organ …

Abstract Purpose Transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasound is a non-invasive monitor of
cerebral blood velocity that can be used intraoperatively. The purpose of this report is to …

Background Cerebral oximetry using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is used for
monitoring cerebral oxygen saturation during cardiac surgery and is correlated with clinical …
