Abstract
THE MONITORING of regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is used to detect injurious cerebral desaturation and make therapeutic interventions to restore cerebral oxygenation during pediatric cardiac surgery. The detection, treatment, and avoidance of perioperative cerebral hypoxia are linked to a decreased risk of neurologic injury and a possible improved neurodevelopmental outcome after pediatric cardiac surgery. 1 Andropoulos D.B.
