Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), which is a noninvasive technique measuring brain tissue oxygenation, has gained increasing acceptance in congenital heart surgery units as a useful means of assessing cerebral perfusion. The use of NIRS has been extensively studied in the perioperative management of surgical patients. Fenton and colleagues [1] from the Children’s Hospital of Omaha have suggested in this article that cerebral oxygen saturation (ScO2) may have prognostic implications as well. Although the number of patients with dramatically diminished NIRS-derived ScO2 values was low, is not surprising . . . [Full Text of this Article]
