Abstract
The FORE-SIGHTTM monitor measures absolute cerebral tissue oxygen saturation (SctO2) of the frontal lobes of the brain, in a non-invasive way, through near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) [1]. Its value for early detection of hemodynamic deterioration in the postoperative phase after congenital cardiac surgery has never been examined. In a prospective observational study [2], 300 mechanically ventilated patients younger than 12 years after cardiac surgery will be monitored with NIRS, in addition to their routine haemodynamic monitoring. The NIRS monitor is blinded to clinicians, and its predictive value to detect predefined critical hemodynamic events will be analysed.

The results are summarized in table 1 and table 2. 83 children were admitted with a CC, 53 with noncyanotic cardiopathy (NCC), and 57.3% were boys
