Postural changes during anesthesia can lead to decreased cerebral blood flow and oxygenation, especially when moving from a supine to a prone position. This is particularly relevant during spinal surgery with controlled hypotension. Cerebral oximetry, monitored in the frontal cortex using an O3 sensor, is a noninvasive and continuous method to investigate the impact of anesthetic techniques on cerebral oxygenation in such scenarios.
