Regional cerebral oxygen saturation during initial mobilization of critically ill patients is associated with clinical outcomes: a prospective observational study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Vital signs help determine the safety of early mobilization in critically ill patients in intensive care units. However, none of these variables directly assess cerebral circulation. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the relationship of regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO₂) and vital signs with in-hospital death in critically ill patients.

Methods

This prospective study included critically ill patients admitted to the Uonuma Kikan Hospital Emergency Center who received physical therapy between June 2020 and December 2022. We continuously measured rSO₂ during the initial mobilization using a wearable brain near-infrared spectroscopy device. With in-hospital death as the primary endpoint, the association between rSO₂ and in-hos
