Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is used to monitor regional cerebral oxygenation (rScO2)
during cardiac surgery but is less established during non-cardiac surgery. This systematic …

Background There have been several reports of ischaemic complications after routine
laparoscopy. The aim of this review was to investigate the relationship between this …

Purpose Cerebral deoxygenation, as determined by near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS),
seems to predict postoperative complications following cardiac surgery. We identify the type …

Background Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) can improve respiratory mechanics
during pneumoperitoneum, but may influence intracranial and cerebral perfusion pressure …

Background: Knowledge of the pathophysiological basis of laparoscopic procedures, in
particular the impact of CO2-pneumoperitoneum (PNP) on the body, can prevent onset of …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to assess the changes in regional cerebral oxygen
saturation (rScO 2) in response to different ventilation strategies: inspired oxygen …

Background We investigated the effect of prolonged inspiratory to expiratory (I/E) ratio
ventilation on respiratory mechanics, gas exchange, and regional cerebral oxygen …

Background Perioperative fluid restriction might be beneficial in specific clinical settings. In
this prospective, randomized and blinded study, we assessed whether peristaltic pneumatic …

Background The sitting position has potential for serious complications such as cerebral
ischemia and venous air embolism. This study investigated the effects of intermittent …

Background The current study evaluated the hemodynamic effects of different types of
pneumatic compressions of the lower extremities during anesthesia induction. In addition …
