Abstract
INTRODUCTION Despite being a daily clinical application in cardiac operating theaters, an evidence-based approach on how to optimally initiate the heart-lung machine (HLM) to prevent critical phases of cerebral ischemia is still lacking. We therefore designed a study comparing two different initiation times for starting the cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). METHODS We conducted a monocentric, randomized, and prospective study comparing the impact of two initiation times, a rapid initiation of 15 s and a slow initiation of 180 s to reach the full target flow rate of 2.5 L/min/m2 times the body surface area, on cerebral tissue oxygenation by near infrared spectroscopy measurements. RESULTS The absolute values in tissue oxygenation index (TOI) showed no difference between the groups before and after the CPB with a 10% drop in oxygenation index in both groups due to the hemodilution through the HLM priming. Looking at the kinetics a rapid initiation of CPB produced a higher negative rate of change in TOI with a total of 21% in critical oxygenation readings compared to 6% in the slow initiation group. CONCLUSION In order to avoid critical phases of cerebral ischemia during the initiation of CPB for cardiac procedures, we propose an initiation time of at least 90 s to reach the 100% of target flow rate of the HLM.

Novel Mode of Near-Infrared Spectroscopy as a Continuous Cerebral Physiological Monitoring Device during Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation: Four Case Reports. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11072018. [PMID: 35407626 PMCID: PMC8999562 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11072018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2022] [Revised: 03/31/2022] [Accepted: 04/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: NIRO-Pulse is a novel mode of near-infrared spectroscopy that can be used to visually evaluate cerebral perfusion during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), providing real-time feedback as to the quality of the CPR. The aim of this report was to describe the several representative cases of NIRO-Pulse for physiological monitoring during CPR. Methods: We present several cases from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients for whom NIRO-Pulse was attached to the forehead after hospital arrival. Patients were subjected to continuous brain monitoring during CPR using NIRO-Pulse, which allows for the visualisation of ΔHb (Hb pulsation). NIRO-Pulse is capable of simultaneously measuring and displaying cerebral tissue oxygen saturation (SctO2) and Hb pulsation, providing real-time feedback during CPR in the form of physiological indicators, and assessing changes in SctO2 throughout the CPR procedure by post-mortem analysis. Results: We observed several representative cases that provided the following insights: (1) SctO2 increased after a change in the quality of chest compression, (2) SctO2 decreased during the ventilation phase of synchronised CPR, (3) SctO2 decreased during the interruption of chest compressions for the preparation of defibrillation, and (4) SctO2 gradually and continuously increased after return of spontaneous circulation. Conclusion: Displaying Hb pulsation in conjunction with SctO2 during CPR may be helpful for evaluating the quality of and patient responsiveness to CPR. Further studies investigating the association between the use of NIRO-Pulse during CPR and subsequent outcomes should be conducted.

Abstract
We investigated the role of near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in identifying delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). We measured the cerebral regional oxygen saturation (rSO2) continuously for 14 days. The differences in rSO2 according to DCI were analyzed. We also compared the diagnostic accuracy of NIRS and transcranial Doppler ultrasonography (TCD) for DCI detection using the area under receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve. Fifty-two patients treated with coil embolization were enrolled, including 18 with DCI (34.6%) and 34 without DCI (65.4%). Significant differences in rSO2 levels were observed from days 7 to 9. The rSO2 level was 60.95 (58.10-62.30) at day 7 in the DCI vs. 63.90 (62.50-67.10) in the non-DCI patients. By day 8, it was 59.50 (56.90-64.50) in the DCI vs. 63.30 (59.70-68.70) in the non-DCI cases. By day 9, it was 61.85 (59.40-65.20) in the DCI vs. 66.00 (62.70-68.30) in the non-DCI. A decline of >12.7% in SO2 rate yielded a sensitivity of 94.44% (95% CI: 72.7-99.9%) and a specificity of 70.59% (95% CI: 52.5-84.9%) for identifying DCI. Changes in NIRS tended to yield better diagnostic accuracy than TCD, but were not statistically significant. NIRS is a feasible method for real-time detection of DCI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine changes in blood pressure (BP), cardiac output (CO) and cerebral regional oxygen saturation (rScO2) with administration of premedication for neonatal intubation. DESIGN Pilot, prospective, observational study. Oxygen saturation, heart rate, CO, rScO2 and BP data were collected. Monitoring began 5 min prior to premedication and continued until spontaneous movement. SETTING Single-centre, level 3 neonatal intensive care unit PATIENTS: 35 infants, all gestational ages. 81 eligible infants: 66 consented, 15 refused. INTERVENTIONS Intravenous atropine, fentanyl or morphine, ±cisatracurium MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: BP, CO, rScO2 RESULTS: n=37 intubations. Mean gestational age and median birth weight were 31 4/7 weeks and 1511 g. After premedication, 10 episodes resulted in a BP increase from baseline and 27 in a BP decrease. Of those whose BP decreased, 17 had <20% decrease and 10 had ≥20% decrease. Those with <20% BP decrease took an average of 2.5 min to return to baseline while those with a ≥20% BP decline took an average of 15.2 min. Three did not return to baseline by 35 min. Following intubation, further declines in BP (21%-51%) were observed in eight additional cases. One infant required a bolus for persistently low BPs. CO and rScO2 changes were statistically similar between the two groups. CONCLUSION About 30% of infants dropped their BP by ≥20% after premedication for elective intubation. These BP changes were not associated with any significant change in rScO2 or CO. More data are needed to better characterise the immediate haemodynamic changes and clinical outcomes associated with premedication.

Abstract
Introduction: We postulate a relationship between a transcutaneous hepatic NIRS measurement and a directly obtained hepatic vein saturation. If true, hepatic NIRS monitoring (in conjunction with the current dual-site cerebral-renal NIRS paradigm) might increase the sensitivity for detecting shock since regional oxygen delivery changes in the splanchnic circulation before the kidney or brain. We explored a reliable technique for hepatic NIRS monitoring as a prelude to rigorously testing this hypothesis. This proof-of-concept study aimed to validate hepatic NIRS monitoring by comparing hepatic NIRS measurements to direct hepatic vein samples obtained during cardiac catheterization. Method: IRB-approved prospective pilot study of hepatic NIRS monitoring involving 10 patients without liver disease who were already undergoing elective cardiac catheterization. We placed a NIRS monitor on the skin overlying liver during catheterization. Direct measurement of hepatic vein oxygen saturation during the case compared with simultaneous hepatic NIRS measurement. Results: There was no correlation between the Hepatic NIRS values and the directly measured hepatic vein saturation (R = -0.035; P = 0.9238). However, the Hepatic NIRS values correlated with the cardiac output (R = 0.808; P = 0.0047), the systolic arterial blood pressure (R = 0.739; P = 0.0146), and the diastolic arterial blood pressure (R = 0.7548; P = 0.0116). Conclusions: Using the technique described, hepatic NIRS does not correlate well with the hepatic vein saturation. Further optimization of the technique might provide a better measurement. Hepatic NIRS does correlate with cardiac output and thus may still provide a valuable additional piece of hemodynamic information when combined with other non-invasive monitoring.

Abstract
Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a highly complex process. We developed a system to capture and study detailed information during cardiac surgery that serves as a framework for understanding variation that occurs during CPB. The system allows the surgical team to link unwanted variation (ie, hypotension) and unwanted events (ie, the production of microemboli) to the processes of care. A more thorough understanding of embolic activity and hemodynamic aberrations, precursors to both stroke and subtle neurologic injury, that occur during CPB, will allow the surgical team to identify high leverage, modifiable aspects of care and abate these precursors to patient injury. Multimodality simultaneous monitoring and recording of physiologic parameters, emboli in the CPB circuit and in the middle cerebral arteries, and cerebral NIRS during surgery was carried out in patients undergoing open heart surgery with CPB. A system was designed that captures physiologic data from the patient monitors and the heart-lung machine at 20-second intervals and time synchronizes all measures with a video recording of the surgical procedure. Emboli counts count in the CPB circuit and right and left middle cerebral arteries were continuously recorded. Video recordings depicting various surgical and perfusion techniques with associated embolic activity were provided to the surgical team. Wide variation in embolic counts, cerebral blood flow velocity, and physiologic parameters were observed. Periods of embolic activity and cerebral desaturation could be related to surgical and CPB processes of care. We have identified increased emboli counts in the CPB circuit and in the middle cerebral arteries related to the method of venous drainage, manipulation of the aorta, and anastomotic techniques. se of this model provides the surgical team detailed information about these precursors to neurologic injury. This system provides a systematic approach to the understanding and redesigning of CPB.

Abstract
The use of near-infrared spectroscopy for monitoring cerebral oxygenation during different types of cardiopulmonary bypass was evaluated in 24 patients aged 5 to 13 months. They underwent open-heart surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass with moderate hypothermia, deep hypothermia with low flow, or deep hypothermia with circulatory arrest. Near-infrared spectroscopy data were compared with electroencephalography and biochemical indicators (neuron-specific enolase, lactate). Near-infrared spectroscopy data showed no correlation with biochemical indicators in patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass with moderate hypothermia or deep hypothermia with low flow. In the deep hypothermia with circulatory arrest group, the oxygenated hemoglobin signal declined to a nadir during circulatory arrest. The period from reaching the nadir until reperfusion and the minimum values of oxygenated hemoglobin correlated closely with increases in neuron-specific enolase and lactate. All patients with an oxygenated hemoglobin-signal nadir time < 35 min were free from behavioral evidence of brain injury. The oxygenated hemoglobin-signal nadir time may be useful in predicting the safe duration of circulatory arrest.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Whereas there is clear evidence for improved survival with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and defibrillation during cardiac arrest management, there is today lacking evidence that any of the recommended and used drugs lead to any long-term benefit for the patients. In this review, we try to discuss our current view on why advanced life support (ALS) today can be performed without the use of drugs, and instead gain all focus on improving the tasks we know improve survival: CPR and defibrillation. RECENT FINDINGS Previous and recent cardiac arrest drug studies have been reviewed. These are mostly consisting of retrospective register data, some experimental data and a few new randomized trials. The alternative drug-free ALS concept is also discussed with relevant studies. SUMMARY There is currently no evidence to support any specific drugs during cardiac arrest. Good-quality CPR, early defibrillation and goal-directed postresuscitation care is more important. Healthcare systems should not prioritize implementation of unproven drugs before good quality of care can be documented. More drug studies are indeed required, and future research needs to incorporate better diagnostic tools to test more specific and tailored therapies that account for underlying causes and individual responsiveness.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE/AIM To assess the impact of sevoflurane and anesthesia-induced hypotension on brain oxygenation in children younger than 2 years. BACKGROUND Inhalational induction with sevoflurane is the most commonly used technique in young children. However, the effect of sevoflurane on cerebral perfusion has been only studied in adults and children older than 1 year. The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of sevoflurane anesthesia on brain oxygenation in neonates and infants, using near-infrared spectroscopy. METHODS Children younger than 2 years, ASA I or II, scheduled for abdominal or orthopedic surgery were included. Induction of anesthesia was started by sevoflurane 6% and maintained with an expired fraction of sevoflurane 3%. Mechanical ventilation was adjusted to maintain an endtidal CO2 around 39 mmHg. Brain oxygenation was assessed measuring regional cerebral saturation of oxygen (rSO2 c), measured by NIRS while awake and 15 min after induction, under anesthesia. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) variation was recorded. RESULTS Hundred and ninety-five children were included. Anesthesia induced a significant decrease in MAP (-27%). rSO2 c increased significantly after induction (+18%). Using children age for subgroup analysis, we found that despite MAP reduction, rSO2 c increase was significant but smaller in children ≤ 6 months than in children >6 months (≤ 6 months: rSO2 c = +13%, >6 months: rSO2 c = +22%; P < 0.0001). Interindividual comparison showed that, during anesthesia at steady-state with comparable CMRO2, rSO2 c values were significantly higher when MAP was above 36 mmHg. And the higher the absolute MAP value during anesthesia was, the higher the rSO2 c was. We observed a rSO2 c variation ≤ 0 in 21 patients among the 195 studied, and the majority of these patients were younger than 6 months (n = 19). No increase or decrease of rSO2 c during anesthesia despite reduction of CMRO2 can be explained by a reduction of oxygen supply. Using the ROC curves, we determined that the threshold value of MAP under anesthesia, associated with rSO2 c variation ≤ 0%, was 39 mmHg in all the studied population (AUC: 0.90 ± 0.02; P < 0.001). In children younger than 6 months, this value of MAP was 33 mmHg, and 43 mmHg in children older than 6 months. CONCLUSION Despite a significant decrease of MAP, 1 MAC of sevoflurane induced a significant increase in regional brain oxygenation. But subgroup analysis showed that MAP decrease had a greater impact on brain oxygenation, in children younger than 6 months. According to our results, MAP value during anesthesia should not go under 33 mmHg in children ≤6 months and 43 mmHg in children >6 months, as further changes in MAP, PaCO2 or hemoglobin during anesthesia may be poorly tolerated by the brain.

Abstract
As near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) broadens its application area to different age and disease groups, motion artifacts in the NIRS signal due to subject movement is becoming an important challenge. Motion artifacts generally produce signal fluctuations that are larger than physiological NIRS signals, thus it is crucial to correct for them before obtaining an estimate of stimulus evoked hemodynamic responses. There are various methods for correction such as principle component analysis (PCA), wavelet-based filtering and spline interpolation. Here, we introduce a new approach to motion artifact correction, targeted principle component analysis (tPCA), which incorporates a PCA filter only on the segments of data identified as motion artifacts. It is expected that this will overcome the issues of filtering desired signals that plagues standard PCA filtering of entire data sets. We compared the new approach with the most effective motion artifact correction algorithms on a set of data acquired simultaneously with a collodion-fixed probe (low motion artifact content) and a standard Velcro probe (high motion artifact content). Our results show that tPCA gives statistically better results in recovering hemodynamic response function (HRF) as compared to wavelet-based filtering and spline interpolation for the Velcro probe. It results in a significant reduction in mean-squared error (MSE) and significant enhancement in Pearson's correlation coefficient to the true HRF. The collodion-fixed fiber probe with no motion correction performed better than the Velcro probe corrected for motion artifacts in terms of MSE and Pearson's correlation coefficient. Thus, if the experimental study permits, the use of a collodion-fixed fiber probe may be desirable. If the use of a collodion-fixed probe is not feasible, then we suggest the use of tPCA in the processing of motion artifact contaminated data.

Abstract
Preoperative phlebotomy can minimize the need for allogenic blood products. Frequently, removed blood is replaced with intravenous fluids to maintain euvolemia (acute normovolemic hemodilution [ANH]). During cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), ANH may present problems when the circuit prime causes further hemodilution and unacceptably low hemoglobin. This investigation aimed to demonstrate that minimum volume replacement after preoperative phlebotomy can be used safely when guided by cerebral oxygenation (rSO(2)) measured by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). This prospective study included patients undergoing surgery for congenital heart disease. After preoperative phlebotomy, fluid replacement was guided by mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate, and rSO(2), which were measured at baseline, immediately after phlebotomy, and 15 and 30 min after phlebotomy. This study enrolled 38 patients ages 3 months to 50 years. Preoperative phlebotomy removed 9.3 ± 2.9 mL/kg of blood, and 5.6 ± 5.1 mL/kg of crystalloid was administered intraoperatively. Within 30 min after phlebotomy, 23 patients had a MAP decrease of 20 % or more from baseline. This fall in MAP coincided with a decrease in rSO(2) of 20 or more at 2 of 114 measured points. Initially, rSO(2) decreased from 74 ± 9 to 68 ± 10 but thereafter remained constant. On five occasions, rSO(2) decreased 20 or more from baseline, but no patient's NIRS value was less than 45. A decrease in rSO(2) occurred more commonly in younger patients and those who had a larger volume of blood removed. Preoperative phlebotomy without significant volume replacement can be performed safely before CPB. Volume replacement may be more appropriately guided by rSO(2) than by hemodynamic variables.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Near-infrared spectroscopy correlation with low cardiac output has not been validated. Our objective was to determine role of splanchnic and/or renal oxygenation monitoring using near-infrared spectroscopy for detection of low cardiac output in children after surgery for congenital heart defects. DESIGN Prospective observational study. SETTING Pediatric intensive care unit of a tertiary care teaching hospital. PATIENTS Children admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit after surgery for congenital heart defects. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS We hypothesized that splanchnic and/or renal hypoxemia detected by near-infrared spectroscopy is a marker of low cardiac output after pediatric cardiac surgery. Patients admitted after cardiac surgery to the pediatric intensive care unit over a 10-month period underwent serial splanchnic and renal near-infrared spectroscopy measurements until extubation. Baseline near-infrared spectroscopy values were recorded in the first postoperative hour. A near-infrared spectroscopy event was a priori defined as ≥20% drop in splanchnic and/or renal oxygen saturation from baseline during any hour of the study. Low cardiac output was defined as metabolic acidosis (pH <7.25, lactate >2 mmol/L, or base excess ≤-5), oliguria (urine output <1 mL/kg/hr), or escalation of inotropic support. Receiver operating characteristic analysis was performed using near-infrared spectroscopy event as a diagnostic test for low cardiac output. Twenty children were enrolled: median age was 5 months; median Risk Adjustment for Congenital Heart Surgery category was 3 (1-6); median bypass and cross-clamp times were 120 mins (45-300 mins) and 88 mins (17-157 mins), respectively. Thirty-one episodes of low cardiac output and 273 near-infrared spectroscopy events were observed in 17 patients. The sensitivity and specificity of a near-infrared spectroscopy event as an indicator of low cardiac output were 48% (30%-66%) and 67% (64%-70%), respectively. On receiver operating characteristic analysis, neither splanchnic nor renal near-infrared spectroscopy event had a significant area under the curve for prediction of low cardiac output (area under the curve: splanchnic 0.45 [95% confidence interval 0.30-0.60], renal 0.51 [95% confidence interval 0.37-0.65]). CONCLUSIONS Splanchnic and/or renal hypoxemia as detected by near-infrared spectroscopy may not be an accurate indicator of low cardiac output after surgery for congenital heart defects.

Abstract
Noninvasive approaches to measuring cerebral circulation and metabolism are crucial to furthering our understanding of brain function. These approaches also have considerable potential for clinical use “at the bedside”. However, a highly nontrivial task and precondition if such methods are to be used routinely is the robust physiological interpretation of the data. In this paper, we explore the ability of a previously developed model of brain circulation and metabolism to explain and predict quantitatively the responses of physiological signals. The five signals all noninvasively-measured during hypoxemia in healthy volunteers include four signals measured using near-infrared spectroscopy along with middle cerebral artery blood flow measured using transcranial Doppler flowmetry. We show that optimising the model using partial data from an individual can increase its predictive power thus aiding the interpretation of NIRS signals in individuals. At the same time such optimisation can also help refine model parametrisation and provide confidence intervals on model parameters. Discrepancies between model and data which persist despite model optimisation are used to flag up important questions concerning the underlying physiology, and the reliability and physiological meaning of the signals.

Abstract
Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) provides assessment of the integrative responses involving the pulmonary, cardiovascular, and skeletal muscle systems. Application of exercise testing remains limited to children who are able to understand and cooperate with the exercise protocol. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) provides a noninvasive, continuous method to monitor regional tissue oxygenation (rSO2). Our specific aim was to predict anaerobic threshold (AT) during CPET noninvasively using two-site NIRS monitoring. Achievement of a practical noninvasive technology for estimating AT will increase the compatibility of CPET. Patients without structural or acquired heart disease were eligible for inclusion if they were ordered to undergo CPET by a cardiologist. Data from 51 subjects was analyzed. The ventilatory anaerobic threshold (VAT) was computed on [Formula: see text] and respiratory quotient post hoc using the standard V-slope method. The inflection points of the regional rSO2 time-series were identified as the noninvasive regional NIRS AT for each of the two monitored regions (cerebral and kidney). AT calculation made using an average of kidney and brain NIRS matched the calculation made by VAT for the same patient. Two-site NIRS monitoring of visceral organs is a predictor of AT.

Abstract
Exercise creates a physiologic burden with recovery from such effort crucial to adaptation. Excess postexercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) refers to the body's increased metabolic need after work. This investigation was designed to determine the role of near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in the description of exercise recovery in healthy controls (NL) and children with congenital heart disease (CHD). Subjects were recruited with exercise testing performed to exhaustion. Exercise time (EXT), heart rate (HR), and oxygen consumption (VO(2)) were measured. Four-site NIRS (brain, kidney, deltoid, and vastus lateralis) were measured during exercise and into recovery to establish trends. Fifty individuals were recruited for each group (NL = 26 boys and 24 girls; CHD = 33 boys and 17 girls). Significant differences existed between EXT, VO(2), and peak HR (P < 0.01). NIRS values were examined at four distinct intervals: rest, peak work, and 2 and 5 min after exercise. Significant cerebral hyperemia was seen in children with CHD post exercise when compared to normal individuals in whom redistribution patterns were directed to somatic muscles. These identified trends support an immediate compensation of organ systems to re-establish homeostasis in peripheral beds through enhanced perfusion. Noninvasive NIRS monitoring helps delineate patterns of redistribution associated with EPOC in healthy adolescents and children with CHD.

Abstract
The acute onset of a neurological deficit is the key clinical feature of stroke. In most cases, however, pathophysiological changes in the cerebral vasculature precede the event, often by many years. Persisting neurological deficits may also require long-term rehabilitation. Hence, stroke may be considered a chronic disease, and diagnostic and therapeutic efforts must include identification of specific risk factors, and the monitoring of and interventions in the acute and subacute stages, and should aim at a pathophysiologically based approach to optimize the rehabilitative effort. Non-invasive optical techniques have been experimentally used in all three stages of the disease and may complement the established diagnostic and monitoring tools. Here, we provide an overview of studies using the methodology in the context of stroke, and we sketch perspectives of how they may be integrated into the assessment of the highly dynamic pathophysiological processes during the acute and subacute stages of the disease and also during rehabilitation and (secondary) prevention of stroke.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To measure abdominal wall thickness to determine the depth at which the renal vascular bed and mesenteric vascular bed are located, and to determine the appropriate site for placement of near-infrared spectroscopy probes for accurate monitoring regional oxygen saturation index in children. DESIGN Abdominal computerized tomography scans in children were used to measure the abdominal wall thickness and to ascertain the location of kidneys. SETTING Tertiary care children's hospital. SUBJECTS Children 0-18 yrs of age; n = 38. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS The main mass of the kidneys is located between vertebral levels T12 and L2 on both sides. The left kidney is located about a half-vertebral length higher than the right kidney. Posterior abdominal wall thickness ranged from 6.6 to 115.8 mm (median, 22.1 mm). Posterolateral abdominal wall thickness ranged from 6.7 to 114.5 mm (median, 19.6 mm). Anterior abdominal wall thickness in the supraumbilical level ranged from 3.5 to 62.9 mm (median, 16.0 mm). All abdominal wall thicknesses correlated better with weight of the subjects than their age. CONCLUSION Abdominal wall thickness potentially exceeds the sampling depth of currently used near-infrared spectroscopy probes above a certain body size. Application of current near-infrared spectroscopy probes and design of future probes should consider patient size variations in the pediatric population.

Abstract
Reflectance near-infrared spectroscopy has been used to measure cortical tissue oximetry for more than 30 years. In that time, many centers have adopted the routine use of the cerebral oximeter for children having repair of congenital heart lesions, while some prominent academic centers have resisted routine use of these monitors citing lack of definitive evidence for outcome benefit. In this review, we provide an overview of the method used to measure cerebral oximetry, as well as validation and clinical outcome data that have accrued from the use of cerebral oximeters. We discuss the peculiarities of evidentiary review for monitoring devices, and the confounding errors that occur when a monitor is evaluated as a therapeutic intervention. We outline the physiologic basis of cerebral desaturation and the shifts in practice that have occurred with implementation of NIRS monitoring.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe cerebral regional oxygen saturation measured by near infrared spectroscopy in the setting of normal and increased intracranial pressure in children to evaluate the association between cerebral regional oxygen saturation and intracranial pressure in comparison with other clinical variables. DESIGN Prospective observational cohort study. SETTING Two academic tertiary care centers' pediatric intensive care units. PATIENTS Thirty patients with intracranial pressure and near infrared spectroscopy monitoring (median age, 11.5 yrs; interquartile range, 5.2-13 yrs) for a range of neurologic diagnoses, including brain tumor, trauma, intracerebral hemorrhage, and hydrocephalus. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Temporally correlated cerebral regional oxygen saturation with hematologic (hematocrit), biochemical (pH), and physiological (intracranial pressure, mean arterial pressure, cerebral perfusion pressure, temperature, heart rate, pulse oximetry and end-tidal carbon dioxide) variables. Cerebral regional oxygen saturation during episodes of increased intracranial pressure was lower than with normal intracranial pressure (mean +/- sd intracranial pressure >20 = 71% +/- 13% vs. intracranial pressure <20 = 75% +/- 10%), although the mean difference (-4%) is small compared with variability in the measurement. Neither isolated values nor change in cerebral regional oxygen saturation were significantly associated with intracranial pressure or cerebral perfusion pressure in the overall population. Isolated values and change in end-tidal CO2 were significantly correlated with cerebral regional oxygen saturation and change in cerebral regional oxygen saturation (all p < 0.01). In exploratory analyses, the diagnostic group significantly modified the effect of intracranial hypertension on regional oxygen saturation: regional oxygen saturation decreased during intracranial hypertension in patients with brain tumors (p = .05) and hydrocephalus (p < .001) but increased during intracranial hypertension in those with intracranial hemorrhage (p < .001). CONCLUSIONS These data suggest that cerebral regional oxygen saturation is lower with intracranial hypertension. However, the relationship between cerebral regional oxygen saturation and intracranial pressure is strongly influenced by diagnosis.

Abstract
Syncope is transient loss of consciousness. Neurocardiogenic syncope (NCS) is the most common cause of syncope. Head-up tilt-table test (HUTT) has been used to demonstrate physiologic events during graded orthostatic challenge in individuals with significant handicap from NCS. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) provides a noninvasive, continuous method to monitor trends of regional tissue oxygenation (rSO2). We hypothesize that multisite NIRS monitoring will show differential desaturation patterns in the brain and renal vascular beds during postural stresses. All patients age 7-21 years old scheduled to undergo HUTT were recruited. Two probes for NIRS monitoring were placed on the forehead and above the left paravertebral level at the T10 to L1 space. These leads were attached to the Somanetics monitor (Somanetics, Troy MI). Tissue saturations (rSO2) obtained at two sites were recorded at rest, during the test, and throughout a 5-min recovery period. All data routinely obtained in HUTT were included in the research study database. Thirteen patients were recruited. The average age was 12.9 years. Five patients had a positive tilt-table test. The patients with syncope had rSO2 trends distinctly different from the normal subjects. In these patients, cerebral rSO2 showed a sudden decreasing trend from hypoperfusion, soon followed by various clinical symptoms. The cerebral rSO2 trend, which showed a dramatic increase, was paralleled by renal rSO2. These rSO2 trends were progressive until the patient was brought back to the supine position, which resulted in the rSO2 in both beds returning to baseline. Multisite NIRS-guided HUTT shows differential trends in the different vascular beds during postural gravitational stresses, and these patterns underlie the systemic oxygen consumption to flow-coupling dynamics observed during syncope.

Abstract
This review describes the diffusion model for light transport in tissues and the medical applications of diffuse light. Diffuse optics is particularly useful for measurement of tissue hemodynamics, wherein quantitative assessment of oxy- and deoxy-hemoglobin concentrations and blood flow are desired. The theoretical basis for near-infrared or diffuse optical spectroscopy (NIRS or DOS, respectively) is developed, and the basic elements of diffuse optical tomography (DOT) are outlined. We also discuss diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS), a technique whereby temporal correlation functions of diffusing light are transported through tissue and are used to measure blood flow. Essential instrumentation is described, and representative brain and breast functional imaging and monitoring results illustrate the workings of these new tissue diagnostics.

Abstract
Brain and heart development occur simultaneously in the human fetus. Given the depth and complexity of these shared morphogenetic programs, it is perhaps not surprising that disruption of organogenesis in one organ will impact the development of the other. Newborns with congenital heart disease show a high frequency of acquired focal brain injury on sensitive magnetic resonance imaging studies in the perioperative period. The surprisingly high incidence of white matter injury in these term newborns suggests a unique vulnerability and may be related to a delay in brain development. These abnormalities in brain development identified with MRI in newborns with congenital heart disease might reflect abnormalities in cerebral blood flow while in utero. A complete understanding of the mechanisms of white matter injury in the term newborn with congenital heart disease will require further investigation of the timing, extent, and causes of delayed fetal brain development in the presence of congenital heart disease.

Abstract
Patients who have had the Fontan procedure report poor exercise performance. Fontan subjects can tolerate a higher level of sub maximal activity than might be anticipated from VO2, suggesting a different mechanism of exercise limitation. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) provides a non-invasive, continuous method to monitor regional tissue oxygenation (rSO2) and thereby a window into regional oxygen supply-demand relationships. We hypothesized that Fontan patients would have altered rSO2 trends from normal population that might reflect the mechanisms of exercise limitation. All the patients without structural or acquired heart disease and Fontan patients were eligible for inclusion if they were ordered to undergo cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET). Four-site regional rSO2 were recorded continuously during exercise. The difference between the oxyhemoglobin saturation measured by pulse oximetry (SpO2) and NIRS (rSO2) was computed as the regional arterial-venous saturation difference (AVDO2). A total of 33 normal subjects and five Fontan subjects scheduled for CPET were recruited. None of the Fontan subjects had a fenestration of the conduit. In the cerebral circulation, the Fontan patients have a significantly higher initial slope of increasing AVDO2 compared with normals. After vAT, the AVDO2 slope is flat for Fontan patients (p = 0.02). There is also a substantially larger rebound of cerebral rSO2 than in normal subjects after QT (p < 0.0001). Reduced anaerobic exercise capacity in Fontan patients may be secondary to limitation of cerebral blood flow, secondary to low systemic venous compliance due to absence of a sub-pulmonary ventricle, and augmented hyperventilatory response during exercise.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a non-invasive, real-time bedside modality sensitive to changes in cerebral perfusion and oxygenation and is highly sensitive to physiological oscillations at different frequencies. However, the clinical feasibility of NIRS remains limited, partly due to concerns regarding NIRS signal quantification, which relies on mostly arbitrary assumptions on hemoglobin concentrations and tissue layers. In this pilot study comparing stroke patients to healthy controls, we explored the utility of the interhemispheric correlation coefficient (IHCC) during physiological oscillations in detecting asymmetry in hemispheric microvascular hemodynamics. METHODS Using bi-hemispheric continuous-wave NIRS, 12 patients with hemispheric strokes and 9 controls were measured prospectively. NIRS signal was band-pass filtered to isolate cardiac (0.7-3 Hz) and respiratory (0.15-0.7 Hz) oscillations. IHCCs were calculated in both oscillation frequency bands. Using Fisher's Z-transform for non-Gaussian distributions, the IHCC during cardiac and respiratory oscillations were compared between both groups. RESULTS Nine patients and nine controls had data of sufficient quality to be included in the analysis. The IHCCs during cardiac and respiratory oscillations were significantly different between patients versus controls (cardiac 0.79 +/- 0.18 vs. 0.94 +/- 0.07, P = 0.025; respiratory 0.24 +/- 0.28 vs. 0.59 +/- 0.3; P = 0.016). CONCLUSIONS Computing the IHCC during physiological cardiac and respiratory oscillations may be a new NIRS analysis technique to quantify asymmetric microvascular hemodynamics in stroke patients in the neurocritical care unit. It allows each subject to serve as their own control obviating the need for arbitrary assumptions on absolute hemoglobin concentration. Future clinical applications may include rapid identification of patients with ischemic brain injury in the pre-hospital setting. This promising new analysis technique warrants further validation.

Measurement of regional tissue bed venous weighted oximetric trends during exercise by near infrared spectroscopy. Pediatr Cardiol 2009; 30:465-71. [PMID: 19225827 DOI: 10.1007/s00246-009-9393-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2008] [Revised: 12/26/2008] [Accepted: 01/21/2009] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is limited to children able to tolerate the equipment. Modification of instrumentation to reduce invasiveness will open CPET to a wider population. Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) devices measure regional oxyhemoglobin saturation (rSO2). We aim to predict anaerobic threshold (AT) during CPET using multiorgan NIRS monitoring. METHODS AND RESULTS Nineteen subjects were recruited. NIRS probes were placed on the forehead, para vertebral space, vastus lateralis, and deltoid muscle (rSO2 C, rSO2 R, rSO2 L and rSO2 A). rSO2 was recorded at six second intervals at rest, exercise, and through a five minute recovery period. The AT was computed using the v-slope method. AT was also predicted using NIRS data by identifying the inflection point of the rSO2 trends for all the four sites. AT can be estimated by the point of slope change of rSO2 R, rSO2 C and the four-site composite measure. CONCLUSIONS Multisite NIRS monitoring of visceral organs is a potential predictor of AT. This allows for monitoring in all forms of exercise over a wide age range.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Report on the use of near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) for the recognition of pericardial tamponade after neonatal congenital heart surgery. DESIGN Case report. SETTING Pediatric cardiac intensive care unit. PATIENT Seven-day-old term infant with double inlet left ventricle, hypoplastic aortic arch, and ascending aorta, postoperative day (POD) 3 from the Norwood procedure. INTERVENTION After an initial stable early postoperative course, the patient's cerebral saturation decreased from the 50s on POD 2, to the 40s in the early morning hours of POD 3. By 9 am on POD 3, the cerebral saturation decreased further to the mid 30s. No change in pulsoximetry, arterial blood gas acid base balance, or blood pressure occurred. An echocardiogram was performed due to the progressive decline in cerebral saturation values. A 10-mm circumferential pericardial effusion was diagnosed. The effusion was drained without incident. Cerebral saturation returned to the 50s, the patient had no further complications and was discharged to home on POD 15. CONCLUSION Pericardial tamponade is a well-known complication of open heart surgery in children, and early recognition of this can be difficult. This case report demonstrated cerebral saturation to be decreased as impending pericardial tamponade developed. Along with the commonly used markers of tamponade, near infrared spectroscopy measurement of cerebral saturation may also be of benefit in recognizing this life-threatening condition.

Abstract
We construct a model of brain circulation and energy metabolism. The model is designed to explain experimental data and predict the response of the circulation and metabolism to a variety of stimuli, in particular, changes in arterial blood pressure, CO(2) levels, O(2) levels, and functional activation. Significant model outputs are predictions about blood flow, metabolic rate, and quantities measurable noninvasively using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), including cerebral blood volume and oxygenation and the redox state of the Cu(A) centre in cytochrome c oxidase. These quantities are now frequently measured in clinical settings; however the relationship between the measurements and the underlying physiological events is in general complex. We anticipate that the model will play an important role in helping to understand the NIRS signals, in particular, the cytochrome signal, which has been hard to interpret. A range of model simulations are presented, and model outputs are compared to published data obtained from both in vivo and in vitro settings. The comparisons are encouraging, showing that the model is able to reproduce observed behaviour in response to various stimuli.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Newborns with congenital heart disease are at high risk for brain injury and adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes. MRI enables the objective determination of the severity of brain injury in critically ill newborns with congenital heart disease. We will rationalize the use of MRI as a surrogate for neurodevelopmental outcome and describe novel randomization techniques that can be used in trials in this population. METHODS This article describes the evidence for the use of MRI and the link with neurodevelopmental outcome established in newborns. We also discuss the use of adaptive randomization techniques for future clinical trials in newborns with congenital heart disease. These strategies will be highlighted using an example. RESULTS Brain injuries occur with high frequency in newborns with congenital heart disease. It is not until school age that the full extent of neurological sequelae becomes apparent and the rapid pace of innovation in neonatal cardiac surgery prevents timely evaluation of changes in care. MRI provides a timely, safe, and reliable outcome measure and has been extensively studied in newborns with other conditions in which the link between brain injury and neurodevelopmental outcome has been established. Clinical trials using MRI as an outcome measure as well as adaptive randomization can improve the efficiency of such trials. CONCLUSIONS Clinical trials of brain protection are urgently needed in newborns with congenital heart disease given the unacceptable frequency of brain injury in this population; MRI provides an early surrogate marker of long-term neurodevelopmental outcome and adaptive randomization can be used to improve the efficiency of these clinical trials.

Abstract
Long-term neurodevelopmental impairment is common in newborns and infants undergoing corrective or palliative congenital heart surgery. The etiologies of neurodevelopmental morbidity in these children are multifactorial and include prenatal, preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative factors. Perioperative neurologic monitoring is thought to be integral to prevention or rescue from adverse neurologic events. Recent advances in perfusion techniques for congenital heart surgery now ensure adequate cerebral O(2) delivery during all phases of cardiopulmonary bypass. Periventricular leukomalacia and other serious neurologic injury can be minimized by an optimized perfusion strategy of continuous high-flow, high hematocrit cardiopulmonary bypass, minimal use of deep hypothermic circulatory arrest, antegrade cerebral perfusion during aortic arch reconstruction, pH-stat blood gas strategy, and cerebral monitoring with NIRS and trans-cranial Doppler. Because there is evidence that brain injury can also occur in the prenatal, preoperative, and postoperative periods, improved strategies to prevent injury in these arenas are much needed. Extensive further clinical investigation is warranted to identify neuroprotective management strategies for the operating room and intensive care unit to preserve neurologic function and optimize long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes in children with congenital heart disease.

Abstract
Advances in cardiopulmonary bypass and surgical techniques have led to progress in the early repair of congenital heart defects in children. However, as increasing numbers survive their initial cardiac operation, an awareness is emerging that significant early and late neurologic morbidities continue to complicate otherwise successful operative repairs. Adverse neurologic outcomes after neonatal cardiac surgery are multifactorial and relate to both fixed and modifiable mechanisms. The purpose of this review is to (1) review mechanisms of brain injury after neonatal cardiopulmonary bypass, (2) examine risk factors, and (3) speculate on how investigations may improve our understanding of neurologic injury.

Abstract
Improved survival for infants with congenital heart disease (CHD) has led to increased focus on the most significant morbidities that are neurodevelopmental. Neurologic injury in neurodevelopmental outcome may have many causes in children with complex CHD undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass and deep hypothermic circulatory arrest, including genetic syndromes, abnormal blood flow patterns, prenatal insults, and hemodynamic instability. Although gross neurological injury can be detected in the perinatal and postoperative period, more subtle injury may not be identified until much later. Disabilities in speech and language, motor skills, and attention deficit disorder are present by school age in up to 50% of the complex CHD population. It is imperative that the mechanisms of these injuries be identified to enable the application of neuroprotective interventions. To facilitate clinical investigation, evaluation of surrogate markers for these longer term "real" outcomes continues. Because some abnormalities may not be detected for years, the evaluation of a surrogate marker takes a long time. Thus, identification of surrogate markers is in its infancy. Serologic proteins, seizures, magnetic resonance findings, cerebral oxygenation, and the neurologic examination have all been studied. Continuing innovation in the use of magnetic resonance imaging techniques and the application of physiologic measures including near-infrared spectroscopy currently pose the greatest potential for advances. This article summarizes the state of the art and an admission about how far we have yet to travel as we strive to make the neurodevelopmental outcomes of patients with CHD comparable to their healthy peers.

Abstract
We evaluated the relationship between regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO(2)) measured by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) cerebral oximeter with superior vena cava (SVC), inferior vena cava (IVC), right atrium (RA), and pulmonary artery (PA) saturation measured on room air and 100% inspired oxygen administered via a non-rebreather mask (NRB) in children. Twenty nine pediatric post-orthotopic heart transplant patients undergoing an annual myocardial biopsy were studied. We found a statistically significant correlation between rSO(2) and SVC saturations at room air and 100% inspired oxygen concentration via NRB (r = 0.67, p = 0.0002 on room air; r = 0.44, p = 0.02 on NRB), RA saturation (r = 0.56, p = 0.002; r = 0.56, p = 0.002), and PA saturation (r = 0.67, p < 0.001; r = 0.4, p = 0.03). A significant correlation also existed between rSO(2) and measured cardiac index (r = 0.45, p = 0.01) and hemoglobin levels (r = 0.41, p = 0.02). The concordance correlations were fair to moderate. Bias and precision of rSO(2) compared to PA saturations on room air were -0.8 and 13.9%, and they were 2.1 and 15.6% on NRB. A stepwise linear regression analysis showed that rSO(2) saturations were the best predictor of PA saturations on both room air (p = 0.0001) and NRB (p = 0.012). In children with biventricular anatomy, rSO(2) readings do correlate with mixed venous saturation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Noninvasive near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is increasingly used to monitor cerebral oxygenation and blood flow status, which is also of high relevance during cardiovascular surgical interventions with cardiopulmonary bypass. Contamination of the cerebral signal by contamination from overlaying extracerebral tissue, however, has been proposed to reduce sensitivity and cerebral selectivity of this promising technique. METHODS We evaluated a novel depth-resolved approach for the determination of cerebral hemodynamics by near-infrared spectroscopic tracking of intravenously administered indocyanine green boluses. A frequency domain technique was applied, allowing simultaneous determination of light absorption changes and time of flight of single photons and enabling the differentiation between extracerebral and intracerebral tracer kinetics. Depth-resolved near-infrared spectroscopy was tested in 4 patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass and compared with data derived by conventional continuous-wave near-infrared spectroscopy. RESULTS Depth resolution extracted the differential responses of extracerebral and intracerebral blood vessels from near-infrared bolus tracking signals. Postoperative blood flow indices derived from the intracerebral time course exceeded preoperative values by 1.5 +/- 0.2 times, indicating a significant increase of cerebral blood flow not detectable by conventional near-infrared spectroscopy. CONCLUSION The depth-resolved approach provides additional and relevant data for the interpretation of intraoperative cerebral perfusion during cardiothoracic surgery. The validity of this approach for patients with preexisting risk factors for cerebral hypoperfusion remains to be determined in larger clinical trials.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE To date, the clinical application of near infrared spectroscopy in the adult brain has been limited. The NIRO 300 (Hamamatsu Photonics) provides a continuous measurement of tissue oxygen index (TOI) using spatially resolved spectroscopy. Although TOI reflects cerebral oxygenation to a high degree of sensitivity and specificity, to become a useful clinical tool, thresholds for cerebral ischemia need to be defined. This study has attempted to identify a quantifiable TOI threshold for ischemia in the adult brain. METHODS One hundred sixty-seven patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy were studied. The NIRO 300 was incorporated into an established multimodal monitoring system enabling observations of cerebral hemodynamic changes under highly controlled conditions. Changes in TOI (%DeltaTOI) on clamping the internal carotid artery were compared with intracranial blood flow (middle cerebral artery flow velocity) and cerebral function monitoring to identify and quantify periods of cerebral ischemia. RESULTS Significant correlation was seen between changes in middle cerebral artery flow velocity and DeltaTOI on clamping (r=0.74, P=0.0001). Thirty-one patients showed cerebral ischemia on internal carotid artery clamping as defined by a sustained fall in cerebral function monitoring. A threshold for %DeltaTOI of -13 was identified, above which no patients showed any evidence of ischemia on clamping. This threshold provided 100% sensitivity and 93.2% specificity for patients satisfying the preset criteria for cerebral ischemia. CONCLUSIONS These data demonstrate the potential to identify TOI-quantified thresholds for cerebral ischemia in the adult brain and thus improve the clinical use of near infrared spectroscopy. Our observations have defined a drop in TOI (13%) that can be adopted as a threshold for severe cerebral ischemia with high sensitivity and specificity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study is to define a safe minimum flow rate for specific bypass conditions using continuous monitoring with near-infrared spectroscopy and direct observation of the cerebral microcirculation. METHODS Two series of experiments (n = 72 in each) were conducted in which piglets were cooled to a temperature of 15 degrees, 25 degrees, or 34 degrees C on cardiopulmonary bypass with hematocrit 20% or 30%, pH-stat management in all, followed by 1 or 2 hours of reduced flow (10, 25, or 50 mL.kg(-1).min(-1)). Animals in series one had a cranial window placed over the parietal cortex to evaluate the microcirculation with intravital microscopy. Plasma was labeled with fluorescein-isothiocyanate-dextran for assessment of functional capillary density (FCD) and microvascular diameter. In series two, near-infrared spectroscopy was utilized to detect tissue oxygenation index (TOI). Outcome measures included histologic and neurologic injury scores. RESULTS The TOI during low flow and FCD during rewarming and after weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass were associated with neurologic injury. Failure of FCD to return to baseline during rewarming predicted worse functional and histologic outcome (p < 0.001). Regression analysis indicated that temperature and low-flow rate were multivariable predictors of TOI and FCD during rewarming (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Tissue oxygen index derived from near-infrared spectroscopy is a useful real-time monitor for detecting inadequate cerebral perfusion during cardiopulmonary bypass. Minimal safe pump flow rate varies according to the conditions of bypass: using pH stat management and with an hematocrit of either 20% or 30%, a flow rate as low as 10 mL.kg(-1).min(-1) is safe for as long as 2 hours at a temperature of 15 degrees C. However, under the same conditions at 34 degrees C, a flow rate of 10 mL.kg(-1).min(-1) is very likely to be associated with neurologic injury.

Abstract
Neonates and small infants with congenital heart disease and complex cardiac and vascular anatomy are particularly prone to episodes of complete or incomplete regional ischemia during cardiopulmonary bypass. These episodes may result either from inhomogeneous distribution of arterial blood flow via the aortic cannula or from impaired drainage of blood via the venous cannulae. However, techniques for continuous routine monitoring of regional perfusion in neonates or small infants undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass are extremely limited. Over recent years, transcranial near-infrared spectroscopy has become established as a useful technique for the non-invasive monitoring of cerebral oxygenation. Here we present a case in which simultaneous near-infrared spectroscopic monitoring of the oxygenation status in the brain and the right upper thigh revealed lower torso ischemia due to accidental cross-clamping of a hypoplastic descending aorta which would otherwise have been unnoticed. This shows that parallel near-infrared spectroscopy of the brain and the lower extremities may represent a novel non-invasive monitoring technique to ensure adequate cerebral and extracerebral perfusion during cardiopulmonary bypass.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the clinical utility of near-infrared spectroscopic (NIRS) monitoring of cerebral (ScO2) and splanchnic (SsO2) oxygen saturations for estimation of systemic oxygen transport after the Norwood procedure. METHODS ScO2 and SsO2 were measured with NIRS cerebral and thoracolumbar probes (in humans). Respiratory mass spectrometry was used to measure systemic oxygen consumption (O2). Arterial (SaO2), superior vena caval (SvO2) and pulmonary venous oxygen saturations were measured at 2 to 4 h intervals to derive pulmonary (Qp) and systemic blood flow (Qs), systemic oxygen delivery (DO2) and oxygen extraction ratio (ERO2). Mixed linear regression was used to test correlations. A study of 7 pigs after cardiopulmonary bypass (study 1) was followed by a study of 11 children after the Norwood procedure (study 2). RESULTS Study 1. ScO2 moderately correlated with SvO2, mean arterial pressure, Qs, DO2 and ERO2 (slope 0.30, 0.64. 2.30, 0.017 and -32.5, p < 0.0001) but not with SaO2, arterial oxygen pressure (PaO2), haemoglobin and O2. Study 2. ScO2 correlated well with SvO2, SaO2, PaO2 and mean arterial pressure (slope 0.43, 0.61, 0.99 and 0.52, p < 0.0001) but not with haemoglobin (slope 0.24, p > 0.05). ScO2 correlated weakly with O2 (slope -0.07, p = 0.05) and moderately with Qs, DO2 and ERO2 (slope 3.2, 0.03, -33.2, p < 0.0001). SsO2 showed similar but weaker correlations. CONCLUSIONS ScO2 and SsO2 may reflect the influence of haemodynamic variables and oxygen transport after the Norwood procedure. However, the interpretation of NIRS data, in terms of both absolute values and trends, is difficult to rely on clinically.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Tissue oxygenation index is a novel monitoring indicator derived by near-infrared spectroscopy. We hypothesized that tissue oxygenation index could predict a minimum safe flow rate for specific bypass conditions. METHODS Thirty-six piglets (age, 43 +/- 5 days; weight, 9.0 +/- 1.1 kg) underwent cardiopulmonary bypass with cerebral near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRO-300; Hamamatsu Photonics K.K., Hamamatsu City, Japan). Animals were cooled for 40 minutes to 15 degrees C, 25 degrees C, or 34 degrees C (pH-stat, hematocrit value of 20% or 30%, and pump flow of 100 mL . kg -1 . min -1), followed by low-flow perfusion (10, 25, or 50 mL . kg -1 . min -1) for 2 hours. Neurologic and behavioral evaluations were determined for 4 days. The brain was then fixed for histologic assessment. Tissue oxygenation index was defined as the average signal during low-flow bypass. RESULTS Animals with an average tissue oxygenation index of less than 55% showed cerebral injury, whereas animals with an index of greater than 55% showed minimal or no evidence of injury. Correlations were found between average tissue oxygenation index and histologic score (Spearman rho = -0.65, P < .001) and neurologic deficit score (Pearson r = -0.50, P = .002) on the first postoperative day. Temperature (P < .001), flow rate (P < .001), and hematocrit value (P = .002) were multivariable predictors of tissue oxygenation index, as determined by means of multivariable analysis of variance. CONCLUSION Tissue oxygenation index is a useful monitor for defining the minimum safe flow rate during cardiopulmonary bypass. An index value of less than 55% is a strong predictor of neurologic injury.

Abstract
Past near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) studies have reported different changes in cytochrome C oxidase (Cyt) redox status during similar interventions that cause tissue ischaemia. We investigated whether there were distinctive differences when NIRS signals were obtained simultaneously from different tissues during total circulatory arrest. Forty-two healthy 10 kg commercial swine (Sus scrofa) on cardiopulmonary bypass, each underwent 2 to 8 sequential periods of hypothermic circulatory arrest for 7.5 min. Prior to each arrest, key physiologic variables were adjusted to 1 of 81 combinations of high, normal, or low levels of core temperature, hematocrit, pH, and serum glucose. Each combination was repeated at least twice. Simultaneous NIRS monitoring yielded 202 brain, 191 spine, and 199 muscle Cyt data sets, which were then classified into 13 distinctive patterns of change. The data sets always differed between tissues in the same arrest trial and subject. Typically, brain Cyt rapidly became more reduced at the start of arrest and changed little thereafter, muscle Cyt behaved comparably to brain Cyt but continued to become reduced throughout the arrest, and spine Cyt either did not change status or gradually became more reduced over the course of arrest. The spine pattern's mean rate of change was 12 times slower than those of the brain or muscle. The Cyt patterns of change were classified into 13 groups which were significantly related to core temperature in the brain and spine, and hematocrit in muscle. The respiratory response in mitochondria during systemic circulatory arrest differs between brain, spine and muscle tissues in the same subject.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Various investigators using near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) have reported differing patterns of cytochrome C oxidase (cytochrome a,a3) redox status in similar brain oxygenation studies. We investigated whether distinctive differences could be due to combinations of variations in temperature, hematocrit, pH, and glucose. METHODS Thirty-six healthy 10 kg commercial juvenile swine on cardiopulmonary bypass underwent 2-8 sequential periods of circulatory arrest. Prior to each arrest, key physiological variables were adjusted to match a random selection of one of 81 combinations of high, normal, or low levels of hypothermia, hematocrit, pH, and serum glucose. In the course of the study, the combinations were repeated twice to yield 162 NIRS data sets. RESULTS The mean rate of change in net oxidized minus reduced cytochrome a,a3 redox status in the brain following 7.5 min of ischemia was 0.49 +/- 0.26 micromol L(-1) min(-1), and, the corresponding mean magnitude of change was -1.23 +/- 0.57 micromol L(-1). The rate of change was influenced by temperature but not by hematocrit, pH, or glucose, either singly or in combination. CONCLUSION The respiratory response in mitochondria during systemic circulatory arrest is significantly influenced by temperature.
