Intraoperative application of regional cerebral oxygen saturation monitoring for geriatric patients in China: a survey.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO₂) monitoring is a real-time and non-invasive technique for estimating the balance of regional cerebral oxygen supply and consumption. Despite the growing popularity of this monitoring technique, data regarding outcome benefits remain sparse and contradictory. This study was conducted to explore the popularity and understanding of cerebral oxygen saturation monitoring during anesthesia in geriatric patients.

Methods

An online self-report questionnaire was distributed in March 2021 to various hospitals in China for dissemination to anesthesiologists. Questions surveyed cerebral oximetry equipment and utilization, demographics, and clinical practice of participants.

Results

In total, 447 anesthesiologists res
