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.

Near Infrared Spectroscopy in healthy preterm and term newborns: correlation with gestational age and standard monitoring parameters.

TL;DR: In the first 6-hours after birth cerebral oxygenation in healthy newborns is gestational age-dependent and correlated with routine parameters, and NIRS reference curve could be particularly useful in sick newborns brain monitoring.

Cerebral oxygen monitoring during neonatal cardiopulmonary bypass and deep hypothermic circulatory arrest.

TL;DR: It is suggested that NIRS-measured hemoglobin oxygenation parameters may reflect functional changes in cerebral hemodynamics and brain tissue oxygenation, while CytOx values represent related effects on intracellular oxidative metabolism.
