Effects of Arterial Carbon Dioxide Tension on Cerebral and Somatic Regional Tissue Oxygenation and Blood Flow in Neonates After the Norwood Procedure With Deep Hypothermic Cardiopulmonary Bypass.

ABSTRACT: Neonates undergoing the Norwood procedure for hypoplastic left heart syndrome are at higher risk of impaired systemic oxygen delivery with resultant brain, kidney, and intestinal ischemic injury, shock, and death. Complex developmental, anatomic, and treatment-related influences on cerebral and renal-somatic circulations make individualized treatment strategies physiologically attractive. Monitoring cerebral and renal circulations with near infrared spectroscopy can help drive rational therapeutic interventions. The primary aim of this study was to describe the differential effects of carbon dioxide tension on cerebral and renal circulations in neonates after the Norwood procedure. Using a prospectively-maintained database of postoperative physiologic and hemodynamic parameters, we analyze
