Predictive Value of Perioperative Near-Infrared Spectroscopy for Neurodevelopmental Outcomes after Cardiac Surgery in Infancy

The study objective was to expand on prior research examining intraoperative regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO(2)) measured by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) by evaluating the predictive value of perioperative NIRS monitoring for neurodevelopmental outcomes after infant cardiac surgery.
