Cerebral Hemodynamic Monitoring via Transcranial Doppler Ultrasound and Near-Infrared Spectroscopy for Risk-Stratified Pediatric Cardiac Surgery Patients.

ABSTRACT: BackgroundThe objective of this study was to evaluate mean cerebral blood flow velocity, gaseous microemboli (GME) counts, regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO₂), and clinical outcomes using multimodality neuromonitoring in risk-stratified congenital cardiac surgery patients and by cyanotic and acyanotic heart disease.MethodsA total of 377 pediatric patients undergoing congenital cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) were stratified by the Society of Thoracic Surgeons-European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (STAT) mortality categories and by classification of cyanotic and acyanotic heart disease. Intraoperative mean cerebral blood flow velocity, GME counts, and rSO₂ were assessed at multiple time points. Clinical outcomes were compared between
