The brain has high oxygen extraction, thus the regional cerebral tissue oxygen saturation (rSO2) is lower than the central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2). The investigators hypothesized that diabetes widens the physiological saturation gap between ScvO2 and rSO2 (gSO2), and the width of this gap may vary during various phases of cardiac surgery. The investigators involve cardiac surgery patients with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) undergoing either off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) or other cardiac surgery necessitating cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). rSO2 is measured by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and ScvO2 is determined simultaneously from central venous blood. rSO2 is registered before and after anesthesia induction and at different stages of the surgery.

Cerebral tissue oxygen saturation
Timeframe: Intraoperative interval during cardiac surgery starting from anesthsia induction until end of the surgery.
Central venous oxygen saturation
Timeframe: Intraoperative interval during cardiac surgery starting from anesthsia induction until end of the surgery.
