Stopped: due to a change in surgical personnel, the operative technique changed, precluding the examination of bypass-related bi-hemispheric saturation differences.
Cerebral oxygen desaturation during cardiac surgery measured using near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) derived cerebral oximetry has been associated with significant postoperative morbidity. If significant desaturation occurs during this period, it may represent an ideal opportunity to further optimize the postoperative care of these patients.
