The Effect of Oxygen Administration on Regional Cerebral Oxygen Saturation after Stellate Ganglion Block on the Non-Blocked Side
This study examined the influence of administration of oxygen via nasal cannula after SGB on regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) of the non-blocked and blocked sides using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS).
A Left-to-Right Shunt via the Ductus Arteriosus Is Associated with Increased Regional Cerebral Oxygen Saturation during Neonatal Transition
The study was designed to investigate the influence of a left-to-right shunt via the ductus arteriosus (DA) on regional oxygen saturation (rSO2) of the brain and peripheral tissue during postnatal transition.
Cerebral Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Monitoring and Neurologic Outcomes in Adult Cardiac Surgery Patients: A Systematic Review
In this systematic review, we evaluated available data for adult patients to determine (1) whether decrements in cerebral oximetry during cardiac surgery are associated with stroke, postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD), or delirium; and (2) whether interventions aimed at correcting cerebral oximetry decrements improve neurologic outcomes.
Cerebral and Peripheral Regional Oxygen Saturation during Postnatal Transition in Preterm Neonates
This study evaluated peripheral regional oxygen saturation (rpSO(2)) and cerebral regional oxygen saturation (rcSO(2)) during the immediate postnatal transition in late preterm infants with and without the need for respiratory support.
