Background Brain injury can occur after cardiac arrest due to the effects of ischaemia and
reperfusion. In serious cases this can lead to permanent disability. This risk must be …

Non-traumatic cardiac arrest is a major public health problem that carries an extremely high
mortality rate. If we hope to increase the survivability of this condition, it is imperative that …

This report is the second part of a comprehensive two-part series aimed at reviewing an
extensive and diverse toolkit of novel methods to explore brain health and function. While …

In recent years, cerebral blood oxygen saturation has become a key indicator during the
perioperative period. Cerebral blood oxygen saturation monitoring is conducive to the early …

Purpose Although evidence from observational studies in a variety of clinical settings
supports the utility of cerebral oximetry as a predictor of outcomes, prospective clinical trials …

Cardiac arrest (CA) is a well-known cause of global brain ischemia. After CA and
subsequent loss of consciousness, oxygen tension starts to decline and leads to a series of …

Maintaining brain function and integrity is a pivotal part of anesthesiological practice. The
present overview aims to describe the current role of the 2 most frequently used monitoring …

Monitors using near‐infra red spectroscopy to assess cerebral oxygenation levels non‐
invasively in discrete areas of the brain have been used clinically for over 20 years. Interest …

Introduction Regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) can be measured non-invasively
even at no-or low-flow states. It thus allows assessment of brain oxygenation during CPR …

Background High oxygen levels may worsen cardiac arrest reperfusion injury. We
determined the incidence of hyperoxia during and immediately after successful …
