Randomized Controlled Trial
Impact of monitoring cerebral oxygen saturation on the outcome of patients undergoing open heart surgery.
We studied the usefulness of regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO 2 ) monitoring during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and evaluated effects of cerebral oxygen desaturation on the postoperative neurological outcome. ⋯ Monitoring of rSO 2 during CPB can significantly decrease the incidence of postoperative neurocognitive decline.
