AbstractNear-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is widely used to monitor tissue oxygenation in the pediatric cardiac surgical population. Clinicians who use NIRS must understand the underlying measurement principles in order to interpret and use this monitoring modality appropriately. The aims of this narrative review are to provide a brief overview of NIRS technology, discuss the normative and critical values of cerebral and somatic tissue oxygen saturation and the interpretation of these values, present the clinical studies (and their limitations) of NIRS as a perioperative monitoring modality in the pediatric congenital heart disease population, and introduce the emerging and future applications of NIRS.Copyright © 2019 Elsevier Inc.
