Changes in Near-Infrared Spectroscopy After Congenital Cyanotic Heart Surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Since oxygen saturation from pulse oximetry (SpO₂) and partial pressure of arterial oxygen (PaO₂) are observed to improve immediately after surgical correction of cyanotic congenital heart disease (CHD), we postulate that cerebral (CrO₂) and somatic (SrO₂) oximetry also improves immediately post-correction. We aim to prospectively examine CrO₂ and SrO₂, before, during, and after surgical correction as well as on hospital discharge in children with cyanotic CHD to determine if and when these variables increase.

Methods

This is a prospective observational trial. Eligibility criteria included children below 18 years of age with cyanotic CHD who required any cardiac surgical procedure. CrO₂ a
