TLDR
Near‐infrared spectroscopy provides noninvasive continuous access to the venous side of regional circulations that can approximate organ‐specific and global measures to facilitate the detection of circulatory abnormalities and drive goal‐directed interventions to reduce end‐organ ischemic injury.
Abstract
The safety of anesthesia has improved greatly in the past three decades. Standard perioperative monitoring, including pulse oximetry, has practically eliminated unrecognized arterial hypoxia as a cause for perioperative injury. However, most anesthesia-related cardiac arrests in children are now cardiovascular in origin, and standard monitoring is unable to detect many circulatory abnormalities. Near-infrared spectroscopy provides noninvasive continuous access to the venous side of regional circulations that can approximate organ-specific and global measures to facilitate the detection of circulatory abnormalities and drive goal-directed interventions to reduce end-organ ischemic injury.

Postoperative Cerebral and Somatic Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Saturations and Outcome in Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome

TL;DR: Test the hypothesis that near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)-derived cerebral and somatic/renal regional saturations can predict survival by analyzing relationships between standard hemodynamic measures, direct and NIRS measures of saturation, and outcome.

Cerebral Oxygenation During Pediatric Cardiac Surgery Using Deep Hypothermia Circulatory Arrest

TL;DR: Brain oxygenation changed at distinct points during surgery in all ages, reflecting fundamental cerebral responses to hypothermic CPB, ischemia, and reperfusion, consistent with experimental work in animals.

TL;DR: To assess the impact of sevoflurane and anesthesia‐induced hypotension on brain perfusion in children younger than 6 months, a large number of patients were referred to the neonatal intensive care unit.

Assessment of the relationship between cerebral and splanchnic oxygen saturations measured by near-infrared spectroscopy and direct measurements of systemic haemodynamic variables and oxygen transport after the Norwood procedure

TL;DR: Sco2 and Sso2 may reflect the influence of haemodynamic variables and oxygen transport after the Norwood procedure, and the interpretation of NIRS data, in terms of both absolute values and trends, is difficult to rely on clinically.

Regional tissue oxygenation in preterm born infants in association with echocardiographically significant patent ductus arteriosus

TL;DR: The PDA size did not affect cerebral and renal tissue oxygenation, but the mesenteric tissue oxygenations was decreased in infants with a large PDA on NCPAP, and in those with moderate PDA irrespective of the type of respiratory support.
