Measurements of Cerebral Arterial Oxygen Saturation

چکیده
This pilot investigation was undertaken to assess the performance of a novel fiber-optic cerebral pulse oximetry system. A fiber-optic probe designed to pass through the lumen of a cranial bolt of the type used to make intracranial pressure measurements was used to obtain optical reflectance signals directly from the brain tissue. Preliminary results from seven patients measured in the operating theatre and ITU are presented. Estimations of cerebral arterial oxygen saturation derived from a frequency domain-based algorithm are compared with pulse oximetry (SpO2) and hemoximeter (SaO2) blood samples. The mean (±SD) difference between cerebral oxygen saturation (ScaO2) and finger SpO2 (in saturation units) was -7.47(±3.4)%. The mean (±SD) difference between ScaO2 and blood SaO2 was -7.37(±2.8)%.

Cerebral arterial oxygen saturation measurements using a fiber-optic pulse oximeter.
BACKGROUND A pilot investigation was undertaken to assess the performance of a novel fiber-optic cerebral pulse oximetry system. A fiber-optic probe designed to pass through the lumen of a cranial bolt of the type used to make intracranial pressure measurements was used to obtain optical reflectance signals directly from brain tissue. METHODS Short-duration measurements were made in six patie...
متن کاملNear-infrared spectroscopy to monitor cerebral oxygen saturation in single-ventricle physiology.
OBJECTIVES Near-infrared spectroscopy monitors cerebral oxygen saturation. This parameter parallels jugular venous oxygen saturation and reflects the balance between cerebral oxygen supply and demand. Experience with near-infrared spectroscopy in univentricular physiology is limited. This study explores the relationship between cerebral oxygen saturation, jugular venous oxygen saturation, and o...
متن کاملEffect of phenylephrine on the haemodynamic state and cerebral oxygen saturation during anaesthesia in the upright position.
BACKGROUND The upright sitting or beachchair position is associated with hypotension, risk of cerebral hypoperfusion, and cerebral injury. We hypothesized that by increasing arterial pressure with phenylephrine administration, cerebral perfusion, and postoperative recovery would be improved. METHODS Thirty-four patients undergoing elective shoulder surgery were randomized to receive either sa...
متن کاملCerebral haemodynamics and carbon dioxide reactivity during sepsis syndrome
BACKGROUND Most patients with sepsis develop potentially irreversible cerebral dysfunctions. It is yet not clear whether cerebral haemodynamics are altered in these sepsis patients at all, and to what extent. We hypothesized that cerebral haemodynamics and carbon dioxide reactivity would be impaired in patients with sepsis syndrome and pathological electroencephalogram patterns. METHODS After...
متن کاملNon-invasive assessment of cerebral oxygenation: A comparison of retinal and transcranial oximetry
BACKGROUND To investigate the correlation between cerebral (SO2-transcranial), retinal arterial (SaO2-retinal) and venous (SvO2-retinal) oxygen saturation as measured by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and retinal oximetry respectively. METHODS Paired retinal and cerebral oxygen saturation measurements were performed in healthy volunteers. Arterial and venous retinal oxygen saturation and d...
