[Cerebral oximetry in the practice of a neurosurgical resuscitator-anesthesiologist].
The paper analyzes the use of the noninvasive cerebral oxygenation monitoring technique cerebral oximetry in patients with various brain diseases (stenotic lesions of the main arteries of the head and neck, subarachnoidal hemorrhages of traumatic and aneurysmal origin) and in those with the intracranial hypertension syndrome. A group of patients without intracranial pathology and volunteers were also examined. Analysis of the findings suggests that cerebral oximetry is a highly informative technique of cerebral oxygenation monitoring in different clinical situations and should be widely used in the practice of a neurosurgical resuscitator.
