Abstract
Postoperative neurological dysfunction (PND) is one of the most common complications after a total aortic arch replacement (TAAR). Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) monitoring of cerebral hypoxia injury during TAAR is a promising technique for preventing the occurrence of PND. This study aimed to explore the feasibility of electrical impedance tomography (EIT) for warning of potential brain injury during total aortic arch replacement (TAAR) through building the correlation between EIT extracted parameters and variation of neurological biomarkers in serum. Patients with Stanford type A aortic dissection and requiring TAAR who were admitted between December 2021 to March 2022 were included. A 16-electrode EIT system was adopted to monitor each patient's cerebral impedance intraoperatively. Five parameters of EIT signals regarding to the hypothermic circulatory arrest (HCA) period were extracted. Meanwhile, concentration of four neurological biomarkers in serum were measured regarding to time before and right after surgery, 12 h, 24 h and 48 h after surgery. The correlation between EIT parameters and variation of serum biomarkers were analyzed. A total of 57 TAAR patients were recruited. The correlation between EIT parameters and variation of biomarkers were stronger for patients with postoperative neurological dysfunction (PND(+)) than those without postoperative neurological dysfunction (PND(-)) in general. Particularly, variation of S100B after surgery had significantly moderate correlation with two parameters regarding to the difference of impedance between left and right brain which were MRAIabs and TRAIabs (0.500 and 0.485 with p < 0.05, respectively). In addition, significantly strong correlations were seen between variation of S100B at 24 h and the difference of average resistivity value before and after HCA phase (ΔARVHCA), the slope of electrical impedance during HCA (kHCA) and MRAIabs (0.758, 0.758 and 0.743 with p < 0.05, respectively) for patients with abnormal S100B level before surgery. Strong correlations were seen between variation of TAU after surgery and ΔARVHCA, kHCA and the time integral of electrical impedance for half flow of perfusion (TARVHP) (0.770, 0.794 and 0.818 with p < 0.01, respectively) for patients with abnormal TAU level before surgery. Another two significantly moderate correlations were found between TRAIabs and variation of GFAP at 12 h and 24 h (0.521 and 0.521 with p < 0.05, respectively) for patients with a normal GFAP serum level before surgery. The correlations between EIT parameters and serum level of neurological biomarkers were significant in patients with PND, especially for MRAIabs and TRAIabs, indicating that EIT may become a powerful assistant for providing a real-time warning of brain injury during TAAR from physiological perspective and useful guidance for intensive care units.

Abstract
Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is a neurological complication associated with surgery and anesthesia that is commonly observed in older patients, and it can significantly affect patient prognosis and survival. Therefore, predicting and preventing POCD is important. Regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) reflects cerebral perfusion and oxygenation, and decreased intraoperative cerebral oxygen saturation has been reported to increase the risk of POCD. In this review, we elucidated the important relationship between the decline in rSO2 and risk of POCD in older patients. We also emphasized the importance of monitoring rSO2 during surgery to predict and prevent adverse perioperative cognitive outcomes. The findings reveal that incorporating intraoperative rSO2 monitoring into clinical practice has potential benefits, such as protecting cognitive function, reducing perioperative adverse outcomes, and ultimately improving the overall quality of life of older adults.

Abstract
Precision medicine, characterized by the personalized integration of a patient's genetic blueprint and clinical history, represents a dynamic paradigm in healthcare evolution. The emerging field of personalized anesthesia is at the intersection of genetics and anesthesiology, where anesthetic care will be tailored to an individual's genetic make-up, comorbidities and patient-specific factors. Genomics and biomarkers can provide more accurate anesthetic protocols, while artificial intelligence can simplify anesthetic procedures and reduce anesthetic risks, and real-time monitoring tools can improve perioperative safety and efficacy. The aim of this paper is to present and summarize the applications of these related fields in anesthesiology by reviewing them, exploring the potential of advanced technologies in the implementation and development of personalized anesthesia, realizing the future integration of new technologies into clinical practice, and promoting multidisciplinary collaboration between anesthesiology and disciplines such as genomics and artificial intelligence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The rapid identification of acute stroke (AS) during and after anesthesia might lead to early interventions and improved outcomes. We investigated a novel 2-channel electroencephalogram (EEG)-based marker for stroke detection-the lateral interconnection ratio (LIR)-in AS patients having endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) with general anesthesia (GA) or sedation. The LIR in 2 reference groups of patients without postoperative neurological complications was used for comparison. METHODS The National Institutes of Health stroke scale score was assessed before and after thrombectomy in 100 patients having EVT with GA or sedation. The EEG was monitored during and for 4 hours following EVT in the AS group and during surgery in the 2 reference groups. We compared: (1) LIR between AS and reference groups; (2) LIR and stroke dynamics (clinical improvement or deterioration after EVT assessed by the National Institutes of Health stroke scale score); (3) the impact of stroke site (anterior vs. posterior circulation) and anesthesia type (GA vs. sedation) on the LIR. RESULTS Median (interquartile range) LIR was lower in patients with AS compared with reference patients (0.09, 0.05 to 0.16 vs. 0.39, 0.24 to 0.52, respectively; P <0.000002), and LIR increased in AS patients whose clinical status recovered after EVT compared with nonrecovered patients (0.20, 0.12 to 0.29 vs. 0.09, 0.05 to 0.11, respectively; P <0.007). The LIR might be more sensitive to anterior circulation stroke but is not impacted by anesthesia type. CONCLUSIONS We demonstrated the utility of using AS patients undergoing EVT as a platform for assessing a novel EEG marker for the identification of stroke during anesthesia. Further, large-scale studies in AS patients during EVT and in patients undergoing different surgeries and anesthesia are required to validate the LIR.

Abstract
Diseases affecting the aortic arch often require surgical intervention. Hypothermic circulatory arrest (HCA) enables a safe approach during open aortic arch surgeries. Additionally, HCA provides neuroprotection by reducing cerebral metabolism and oxygen requirements. However, HCA comes with significant risks (eg, neurologic dysfunction, stroke, and coagulopathy), and the cardiac anesthesiologist must completely understand the surgical techniques, possible complications, and management strategies.

Abstract
The surgical management of acute and chronic complex diseases involving the aortic arch and the descending thoracic aorta remains challenging. Hybrid procedures associating total open arch replacement and stent-grafting of the proximal descending aorta were developed to allow a potential single-stage treatment, promote remodeling of the downstream aorta, and facilitate a potential second-stage thoracic endovascular aortic repair by providing an ideal landing zone. While these approaches initially used various homemade combinations of available conventional prostheses and stent-grafts, the so-called frozen elephant trunk technique emerged with the development of several custom-made hybrid prostheses. The aim of this study was to review the contemporary outcomes of this technique in the management of complex aortic diseases, with a special focus on procedural planning, organ protection and monitoring, refinements in surgical techniques, and long-term follow-up.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Perioperative stroke after cardiac surgical procedures carries significant morbidity. Dual intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring with electroencephalography (EEG) and somatosensory-evoked potentials detects cerebral hypoperfusion and predicts postoperative stroke in noncardiac procedures. We further evaluated preoperative risk factors and intraoperative neuromonitoring ability to predict postoperative stroke after cardiac operations. METHODS All patients who underwent cardiac operations with intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring from 2009 to 2020 at a single academic medical center were retrospectively analyzed. Patients with circulatory arrest were excluded. Risks factors analyzed were sex, age, tobacco use, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, atrial fibrillation, prior cerebrovascular accident, cerebrovascular disease, antiplatelet/anticoagulant use, abnormal somatosensory-evoked potentials and EEG baselines, and significant somatosensory-evoked potentials and EEG change as well as their permanence. Patients were divided into 2 groups by 30-day postoperative stroke occurrence. Univariate and multivariate logistical regressions were used for postoperative stroke significant predictors, and Kaplan-Meier curves estimated survival. RESULTS The study included 620 patients (67.6% men), mean age 65.1 ± 14.1 years, with stroke in 5.32%. In univariate analysis, diabetes (odds ratio [OR], 2.62) and permanence of EEG change (OR, 5.35) were each associated with increased postoperative stroke odds. In multivariate analysis, diabetes (OR, 2.64) and permanent EEG change (OR, 4.22) were independently significantly associated with postoperative stroke. Overall survival was significantly better for patients with no intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring changes (P < .005). CONCLUSIONS Permanent EEG change and diabetes were significant postoperative stroke predictors in cardiac operations. Furthermore, overall survival out to 10 years postoperatively was significantly higher in the group without intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring changes, emphasizing its important predictive role.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Caudal injections commonly used for neuraxial anaesthesia in children can displace cerebrospinal fluid cranially causing safety concerns in terms of raised intracranial pressure. Optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) is a noninvasive surrogate for the measurement of intracranial pressure. Regional cerebral oximetry (CrSO 2 ) can monitor brain oxygenation, which may decrease by a reduction in cerebral flow due to increased intracranial pressure. OBJECTIVES Comparing how caudal injection volumes of 0.8 and 1.25 ml kg -1 influence ONSD and CrSO 2 within the first 30 min after injection. DESIGN Prospective, randomised and parallel group trial. SETTING Operating room. PATIENTS Fifty-eight elective paediatric surgical patients between ages 1 and 7 years old, ASA class I or II, without previous intracranial or ocular pathology and surgery appropriate for single - shot caudal anaesthesia. INTERVENTION Single-shot caudal anaesthesia with 0.8 ml kg -1 (group L, n = 29) and 1.25 ml kg -1 (group H, n = 29) of 2 mg kg -1 bupivacaine solution. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Optic nerve sheath diameter measured with ultrasonography and regional cerebral oximetry measured by near - infrared spectroscopy before (NIRS), immediately after, 10, 20 and 30 min after the block. RESULTS Mean ONSD values increased from a baseline of 4.4 ± 0.2 mm to a maximum of 4.5 ± 0.2 mm 20 min after injection in group L and from a baseline of 4.5 ± 0.3 mm to a maximum of 4.8 ± 0.3 mm 10 min after injection in group H. Eight of 29 patients in group H and none in group L had an ONSD increase by more than 10%. Both groups had a reduction of less than 2.5% in CrSO 2 . CONCLUSION Caudal injection with 1.25 ml kg -1 increased ONSD, an indirect measurement of ICP, more than 0.8 ml kg -1 and neither volume caused a clinically important reduction in CrSO 2 .

Abstract
RATIONALE Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a noninvasive bedside tool for monitoring regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2). The sinus conversion of atrial fibrillation (AF) was shown to be responsible for increasing rSO2. However, the reason for this improvement has not yet been clearly explained. PATIENT CONCERNS We report the case of a 73-year-old woman who underwent cardioversion during an off-pump coronary artery bypass under NIRS and live hemodynamic monitoring. INTERVENTIONS Unlike previous studies that failed to control and compare all conditions during procedures, this case showed real-time fluctuating hemodynamic and hematological values, such as hemoglobin (Hgb), central venous pressure (CVP), mean arterial pressure (MAP), cardiac index (CI), left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP), and SVO2. OUTCOMES The rSO2 increased immediately after cardioversion and decreased during the obtuse marginal (OM) graft and after AF was obtained. However, no other hemodynamic data showed the same or opposite directional changes in the rSO2. LESSONS Significant instantaneous changes were observed in rSO2 using NIRS after sinus conversion, without obvious hemodynamic alterations in the systemic circulation or other monitoring values.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stroke is a feared complication after cardiothoracic surgery, with an incidence of around 2 to 3%. Anaesthesia and postoperative sedation may obscure clinical symptoms of stroke and thus delay diagnosis and timely intervention. OBJECTIVES The objective was to assess the value of intra-operative neuromonitoring and blood pressure monitoring for predicting the occurrence of peri-operative stroke within 3 days after cardiothoracic surgery. DESIGN Single-centre retrospective observational cohort study. SETTING Academic tertiary care medical centre. PATIENTS All consecutive patients with cardiothoracic surgery and intra-operative neuromonitoring admitted postoperatively to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) between 2008 and 2017. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The primary endpoint was the occurrence of any stroke confirmed by brain imaging within 3 days postcardiothoracic surgery. Areas under the curve (AUC) of intra-operative mean arterial pressure (MAP), cerebral oxygen saturation (ScO2) and bispectral index (BIS) below predefined thresholds were calculated, and the association with early stroke was tested using logistic regression analyses. RESULTS A total of 2454 patients admitted to the ICU after cardiothoracic surgery had complete intra-operative data for ScO2, BIS and MAP and were included in the analysis. In 58 patients (2.4%), a stroke was confirmed. In univariate analysis, a larger AUCMAP greater than 60 mmHg [odds ratio (OR) 1.43; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.21 to 1.68) and larger AUCBIS<25 (OR 1.51; 95% CI, 1.24 to 1.83) were associated with the occurrence of postoperative stroke while ScO2 less than 50% or greater than 20% reduction from individual baseline was not (OR 0.91; 95% CI, 0.50 to 1.67). After multivariable analysis, AUCBIS<25 (OR 1.45; 95% CI, 1.12 to 1.87) and longer duration of MAP less than 60 mmHg (OR 1.52; 95% CI, 1.02 to 2.27) remained independently associated with stroke occurrence. CONCLUSION Cumulative intra-operative BIS values below 25 and longer duration of MAP below 60 mmHg were associated with the occurrence of peri-operative stroke within 3 days after cardiothoracic surgery. Prospective studies are warranted to evaluate a causal relationship between low BIS and stroke to establish whether avoiding intra-operative BIS values below 25 might reduce the incidence of peri-operative stroke.

Abstract
Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) can measure tissue blood content and oxygenation; however, its use for adult neuromonitoring is challenging due to significant contamination from their thick extracerebral layers (ECL; primarily scalp and skull). This report presents a fast method for accurate estimation of adult cerebral blood content and oxygenation from hyperspectral time resolved NIRS (trNIRS) data. A two-phase fitting method, based on a two-layer head model (ECL and brain), was developed. Phase 1 uses spectral constraints to accurately estimate the baseline blood content and oxygenation in both layers, which are then used by Phase 2 to correct for the ECL contamination of the late-arriving photons. The method was validated with in silico data from Monte-Carlo simulations of hyperspectral trNIRS in a realistic model of the adult head obtained from a high-resolution MRI. Phase 1 recovered cerebral blood oxygenation and total hemoglobin with an accuracy of 2.7 ± 2.5 and 2.8 ± 1.8%, respectively, with unknown ECL thickness, and 1.5 ± 1.4 and 1.7 ± 1.1% when the ECL thickness was known. Phase 2 recovered these parameters with an accuracy of 1.5 ± 1.5 and 3.1 ± 0.9%, respectively. Future work will include further validation in tissue-mimicking phantoms with various top layer thicknesses and in a pig model of the adult head before human applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients who undergo cardiac surgery are at increased risk of stroke, postoperative cognitive decline, and delirium. These neurocognitive complications have led to increased costs, intensive care unit stays, morbidity, and mortality. As a result, there is a significant push to mitigate any neurological complications in cardiac surgery patients. Near-infrared spectroscopy to measure regional cerebral oxygen saturations has gained consideration due to its noninvasive and user-friendly nature. Cerebral oximetry desaturations during cardiac surgery have been linked to an array of adverse clinical outcomes. However, the most effective intraoperative interventions to protect this vulnerable patient population have yet to be ascertained. AIM OF STUDY To provide a comprehensive summary of the intraoperative management for cerebral oximetry desaturations during cardiac surgery. The review highlights clinical outcomes from cerebral oximetry use to quantify the importance of identifying cerebral desaturations during cardiac surgery. The review then interrogates possible interventions for cerebral oximetry desaturations in an effort to determine which interventions are most efficacious and to enlighten possible areas for further research. METHODS A narrative review of randomized controlled trials, observational studies, and systematic reviews with metanalyses was performed through August 2021. RESULTS There is significant heterogeneity among patient populations for which cerebral oximetry monitoring has been studied in cardiac surgery. Further, the definition of a clinically significant cerebral desaturation and the assessment of neurocognitive outcomes varied substantially across studies. As a result, metanalysis is challenging and few conclusions can be drawn. Cerebral oximetry use during cardiac surgery has not been associated with improvements in neurocognitive outcomes, morbidity, or mortality to date. The evidence to support a particular intervention for an acute desaturation is equivocal. CONCLUSIONS Future research is needed to quantify a clinically significant cerebral desaturation and to determine which interventions for an acute desaturation effectively improve clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) measurements of tissue oxygen saturation (StO2) are frequently used during vascular and cardiac surgeries as a non-invasive means of assessing brain health; however, signal contamination from extracerebral tissues remains a concern. As an alternative, hyperspectral (hs)NIRS can be used to measure changes in the oxidation state of cytochrome c oxidase (ΔoxCCO), which provides greater sensitivity to the brain given its higher mitochondrial concentration versus the scalp. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the depth sensitivity of the oxCCO signal to changes occurring in the brain and extracerebral tissue components. The oxCCO assessment was conducted using multi-distance hsNIRS (source-detector separations = 1 and 3 cm), and metabolic changes were compared to changes in StO2. Ten participants were monitored using an in-house system combining hsNIRS and diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS). Data were acquired during carotid compression (CC) to reduce blood flow and hypercapnia to increase flow. Reducing blood flow by CC resulted in a significant decrease in oxCCO measured at rSD = 3 cm but not at 1 cm. In contrast, significant changes in StO2 were found at both distances. Hypercapnia caused significant increases in StO2 and oxCCO at rSD = 3 cm, but not at 1 cm. Extracerebral contamination resulted in elevated StO2 but not oxCCO after hypercapnia, which was significantly reduced by applying regression analysis. This study demonstrated that oxCCO was less sensitive to extracerebral signals than StO2.

Abstract
Today, it seems prudent to reconsider how ultrasound technology can be used for providing intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring that will result in better patient outcomes and decreased length and cost of hospitalization. An extensive and rapidly growing literature suggests that the essential hemodynamic information provided by transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasonography neuromonitoring (TCDNM) would provide effective monitoring modality for improving outcomes after different types of vascular, neurosurgical, orthopedic, cardiovascular, and cardiothoracic surgeries and some endovascular interventional or diagnostic procedures, like cardiac catheterization or cerebral angiography. Understanding, avoiding, and preventing peri- or postoperative complications, including neurological deficits following abovementioned surgeries, endovascular intervention, or diagnostic procedures, represents an area of great public and economic benefit for society, especially considering the aging population. The American Society of Neurophysiologic Monitoring and American Society of Neuroimaging Guidelines Committees formed a joint task force and developed updated guidelines to assist in the use of TCDNM in the surgical and intensive care settings. Specifically, these guidelines define (1) the objectives of TCD monitoring; (2) the responsibilities and behaviors of the neurosonographer during monitoring; (3) instrumentation and acquisition parameters; (4) safety considerations; (5) contemporary rationale for TCDNM; (6) TCDNM perspectives; and (7) major recommendations.

Abstract
Aortic pathology is always a challenge for the clinician, and must be diagnosed and treated by a multidisciplinary team due to the technical and technological complexity of the resources used. Ongoing efforts to implement a systematic, protocolized approach involving "Aortic teams" made up of cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, vascular surgeons, anaesthesiologists and radiologists, among others are now leading to improved outcomes. The aim of this consensus document drawn up by the Aortic working groups of the Spanish Society of Anaesthesiology, Resuscitation and Pain Therapy (SEDAR) and the Spanish Society of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery (SECTCV) is to disseminate a set of working protocols. The latest consensus document of the European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (EACTS) and the European Society for Vascular Surgery (ESVS) define the concept of "AORTIC TEAM"(1). The aortic team should be closely involved from diagnosis to treatment and finally follow-up, and should be formed of cardiac and vascular surgeons working together with anaesthesiologists, cardiologists, radiologists and geneticists. Treatment of aortic pathologies should be centralised in large centres, because this is the only way to effectively understand the natural course of the disease, provide the entire range of treatment options under one umbrella and treat potential complications. A streamlined emergent care pathway (24/7 availability), adequate transportation and transfer capabilities, as well as rapid activation of the multidisciplinary team must be available. In light of the complexity and constant evolution of therapeutic options, we present this first version of the Anaesthesiology and surgical guidelines for surgery of the ascending aorta and aortic arch. Some questions will no doubt remain unanswered, and future versions will include new techniques that, though implemented in some centres, are still not widely recommended.

Abstract
The management of infective endocarditis is complex and inherently requires multidisciplinary cooperation. About half of all patients diagnosed with infective endocarditis will meet the criteria to undergo cardiac surgery, which regularly takes place in urgent or emergency settings. The pathophysiology and clinical presentation of infective endocarditis make it a unique disorder within cardiac surgery that warrants a thorough understanding of specific characteristics in the perioperative period. This includes, among others, echocardiography, coagulation, bleeding management, or treatment of organ dysfunction. In this narrative review article, the authors summarize the current knowledge on infective endocarditis relevant for the clinical anesthesiologist in perioperative management of respective patients. Furthermore, the authors advocate for the anesthesiologist to become a structural member of the endocarditis team.

Abstract
Abstract
Purpose of Review
This review discusses applications of transcranial Doppler (TCD) in cardiac surgery, its efficacy in preventing adverse events such as postoperative cognitive decline and stroke, and its impact on clinical outcomes in these patients.
Recent Findings
TCD alone and in combination with other neuromonitoring modalities has attracted attention as a potential monitoring tool in cardiac surgery patients. TCD allows not only the detection of microemboli and measurement of cerebral blood flow velocity in cerebral arteries but also the assessment of cerebral autoregulation.
Summary
Neuromonitoring is critically important in cardiac surgery as surgical and anesthetic interventions as well as several other factors may increase the risk of cerebral embolization (gaseous and particulate) and cerebral perfusion anomalies, which may lead to adverse neurological events. As an experimental tool, TCD has revealed a possible association of poor neurological outcome with intraoperative cerebral emboli and impaired cerebral perfusion. However, to date, there is no evidence that routine use of transcranial Doppler can improve neurological outcome after cardiac surgery.

Abstract
A 77-year-old woman underwent replacement of the ascending aorta and aortic valve. Before separation from cardiopulmonary bypass, the pump flow was reduced to 0-to-1.1 L/min/m2 for four minutes at a tympanic temperature of 34.3°C to perform additional sutureing for aorta-graft anastomosis. Postoperative magnetic resonance imaging revealed watershed cerebral infarction. An offline scalogram of intraoperative electroencephalograms obtained from the bispectral index monitor, which was generated by using continuous wavelet transform with complex Morlet wavelets, readily visualized the process of development of cerebral infarction preceding a significant decrease of regional cerebral oxygen saturation during the low-flow period of cardiopulmonary bypass. The present case demonstrated the possible importance of real-time bispectral index and electroencephalogram monitoring in patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery, especially those undergoing high-risk procedures under hypothermic circulatory arrest.

Abstract
In recent years, cerebral blood oxygen saturation has become a key indicator during the perioperative period. Cerebral blood oxygen saturation monitoring is conducive to the early diagnosis and treatment of cerebral ischemia and hypoxia. The present study discusses the three most extensively used clinical methods for cerebral blood oxygen saturation monitoring from different aspects: working principles, relevant parameters, current situations of research, commonly used equipment, and relative advantages of different methods. Furthermore, through comprehensive comparisons of the methods, we find that near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) technology has significant potentials and broad applications prospects in terms of cerebral oxygen saturation monitoring. Despite the current NIRS technology, the only bedside non-invasive cerebral oxygen saturation monitoring technology, still has many defects, it is more in line with the future development trend in the field of medical and health, and will become the main method gradually.

Abstract
Neurocognitive dysfunction after cardiac surgery can present with diverse clinical phenotypes, which include postoperative delirium, postoperative cognitive dysfunction, and stroke, and it presents a significant healthcare burden for both patients and providers. Neurologic monitoring during cardiac surgery includes several modalities assessing cerebral perfusion and oxygenation (near-infrared spectroscopy, transcranial Doppler and jugular venous bulb saturation monitoring) and those that measure cerebral function (processed and unprocessed electroencephalogram), reflecting an absence of a single, definitive neuromonitor. This narrative review briefly describes the technologic basis of these neuromonitoring modalities, before exploring their use in clinical practice, both as tools to predict neurocognitive dysfunction, and with a bundle of interventions designed to optimize cerebral oxygen supply, with the aim of reducing postoperative delirium and cognitive dysfunction following cardiac surgery.

Abstract
Congenital heart disease, particularly cyanotic congenital heart disease (CCHD), may lead to a neurodevelopmental delay through central nervous system injury, more unstable central nervous system development, and increased vulnerability of the nervous system. Neurodevelopmental disease is the most serious disorder of childhood, affecting the quality of life of children and their families. Therefore, the monitoring and optimization of nerve damage treatments are important. The factors contributing to neurodevelopmental disease are primarily related to preoperative, intraoperative, postoperative, genetic, and environmental causes, with intraoperative causes being the most influential. Nevertheless, few studies have examined these factors, particularly the influencing factors during early postoperative care. Children with congenital heart disease may experience brain damage during early heart intensive care due to unstable haemodynamics and total body oxygen transfer, particularly early postoperative inflammatory reactions in the brain, blood glucose levels, and other factors that potentially influence long-term neural development. This study analyses the forms of structural and functional brain damage in the early postoperative period, along with the recent evolution of research on its contributing factors.

Abstract
Despite advances in cardiac surgery and anesthesia, the rates of brain injury remain high in aortic arch surgery requiring circulatory arrest. The mechanisms of brain injury, including permanent and temporary neurologic dysfunction, are multifactorial, but intraoperative brain ischemia is likely a major contributor. Maintaining optimal cerebral perfusion during cardiopulmonary bypass and circulatory arrest is the key component of intraoperative management for aortic arch surgery. Various brain monitoring modalities provide different information to improve cerebral protection. Electroencephalography gives crucial data to ensure minimal cerebral metabolism during deep hypothermic circulatory arrest, transcranial Doppler directly measures cerebral arterial blood flow, and near-infrared spectroscopy monitors regional cerebral oxygen saturation. Various brain protection techniques, including hypothermia, cerebral perfusion, pharmacologic protection, and blood gas management, have been used during interruption of systemic circulation, but the optimal strategy remains elusive. Although deep hypothermic circulatory arrest and retrograde cerebral perfusion have their merits, there have been increasing reports about the use of antegrade cerebral perfusion, obviating the need for deep hypothermia. With controversy and variability of surgical practices, moderate hypothermia, when combined with unilateral antegrade cerebral perfusion, is considered safe for brain protection in aortic arch surgery performed with circulatory arrest. The neurologic outcomes of brain protection in aortic arch surgery largely depend on the following three major components: cerebral temperature, circulatory arrest time, and cerebral perfusion during circulatory arrest. The optimal brain protection strategy should be individualized based on comprehensive monitoring and stems from well-executed techniques that balance the major components contributing to brain injury.

Abstract
Perioperative stroke is one of the most severe and feared complications of cardiac surgery. Based on the timing of onset and detection, perioperative stroke can be classified as intraoperative or postoperative. The pathogenesis of perioperative stroke is multifactorial, which makes prediction and prevention challenging. However, information on its incidence, mechanisms, diagnosis, and treatment can be helpful in minimizing the perioperative neurological risk for individual patients. We herein provide suggestions on preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative strategies aimed at reducing the risk of perioperative stroke and at improving the outcomes of patients who experience a perioperative stroke.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The onset of cerebral ischemia is difficult to predict in patients with altered consciousness using the methods available. We hypothesize that changes in Heart Rate Variability (HRV), Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS), and Electroencephalography (EEG) correlated with clinical data and processed by artificial intelligence (AI) can indicate the development of imminent cerebral ischemia and reperfusion, respectively. This study aimed to develop a method that enables detection of imminent cerebral ischemia in unconscious patients, noninvasively and with the support of AI. METHODS This prospective observational study will include patients undergoing elective surgery for carotid endarterectomy and patients undergoing acute endovascular embolectomy for cerebral arterial embolism. HRV, NIRS, and EEG measurements and clinical information on patient status will be collected and processed using machine learning. The study will take place at Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Gothenburg, Sweden. Inclusion will start in September 2020, and patients will be included until a robust model can be constructed. By analyzing changes in HRV, EEG, and NIRS measurements in conjunction with cerebral ischemia or cerebral reperfusion, it should be possible to train artificial neural networks to detect patterns of impending cerebral ischemia. The analysis will be performed using machine learning with long short-term memory artificial neural networks combined with convolutional layers to identify patterns consistent with cerebral ischemia and reperfusion. DISCUSSION Early signs of cerebral ischemia could be detected more rapidly by identifying patterns in integrated, continuously collected physiological data processed by AI. Clinicians could then be alerted, and appropriate actions could be taken to improve patient outcomes.

Abstract
Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has been available in research and clinical practice for more than four decades. Recently, there have been numerous publications and substantial developments in the field. This article describes the clinical application of NIRS in relation to current guidelines, with a focus on pediatric and cardiac anesthesia. It discusses technical and physiological principles, pitfalls in clinical use and presents (patho)physiological influencing factors and derived variables, such as fractional oxygen extraction (FOE) and the cerebral oxygen index (COx). Recommendations for the interpretation of NIRS values in connection with influencing factors, such as oxygen transport capacity, gas exchange and circulation as well as an algorithm for cardiac anesthesia are presented. Limitations of the method and the lack of comparability of values from different devices as well as generally accepted standard values are explained. Technical differences and advantages compared to pulse oxymetry and transcranial Doppler sonography are illuminated. Finally, the prognostic significance and requirements for future clinical studies are discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neurologic injury and cognitive disorder after cardiac surgery are associated with morbidity and mortality. Variability in the application of neuroprotective strategies likely exists during cardiac surgery. The Society of Cardiovascular Anesthesiologists (SCA) conducted a survey among its members on common perioperative neuroprotective strategies: assessment of aortic atheromatous burden, management of intraoperative blood pressure, and use of cerebral oximetry. METHODS A 15-item survey was developed by 3 members of the SCA Continuous Practice Improvement - Cerebral Protection Working Group. The questionnaire was then circulated among all working group members, adapted, and tested for face validity. On March 26, 2018, the survey was sent to members of the SCA via e-mail using the Research Electronic Data Capture system. Responses were recorded until April 16, 2018. RESULTS Of the 3645 surveys e-mailed, 526 members responded (14.4%). Most responders worked in academic institutions (58.3%), followed by private practices (38.7%). Epiaortic ultrasound for the assessment of aortic atheromatous burden was most commonly utilized at the surgeon's request (46.5%). Cerebral oximetry was most commonly used in patients with increased perioperative risk of cerebral injury (41.4%). Epiaortic ultrasound (1.9%) and cerebral oximetry (5.2%) were rarely part of a standardized monitoring approach. A majority of respondents (52.0%) reported no standardized management strategies for neuroprotection during cardiac surgery at their institution. A total of 55.3% stated that no standardized institutional guidelines were in place for managing a patient's blood pressure intraoperatively or during cardiopulmonary bypass. When asked about patients at risk for postoperative cerebral injury, 41.3% targeted a blood pressure goal >65 mmHg during cardiopulmonary bypass. The majority of responders (60.4%) who had access to institutional rates of postoperative stroke/cerebral injury had standard neuroprotective strategies in place. CONCLUSIONS Our data indicate that approximately half of the respondents to this SCA survey do not use standardized guidelines/standard operating procedures for perioperative cerebral protection. The lack of standardized neuroprotective strategies during cardiac surgery may impact postoperative neurologic outcomes. Further investigations are warranted and should assess the association of standardized neuroprotective approaches and postoperative neurological outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative electroencephalograms (EEGs) can identify seizure activity and neurologic dysfunction in high-risk neonates requiring cardiac surgical procedures. Although intraoperative EEG monitoring is uncommon, variations in cerebral blood flow and temperature during antegrade cerebral perfusion (ACP) can manifest as cortical asynchrony during EEG monitoring. We hypothesized that intraoperative EEG cortical asynchrony would identify neonates at risk for abnormal postoperative EEG tracings. METHODS Neonates requiring ACP for cardiac repair or palliation had continuous baseline, intraoperative, and postoperative hemodynamic and EEG monitoring. Synchronous and asynchronous cortical bursts were quantified during (1) cooling before ACP, (2) ACP, and (3) rewarming. Asynchronous bursts were defined as interhemispheric variations in electrical voltage or frequency. Neonates were divided into 2 groups, those with and without an abnormal postoperative EEG, which was defined as either persistent asynchrony for more than 2 hours or seizure activity on EEG. RESULTS Among 40 neonates, 296 asynchronous bursts were noted, most commonly during rewarming. Eight (20%) neonates had an abnormal postoperative EEG (seizure activity, n = 3; persistent asynchrony, n = 5). Baseline demographics and intraoperative hemodynamics were similar between the groups. However, the total number of intraoperative asynchronous bursts was greater in neonates with an abnormal postoperative EEG (17 [11, IQR:24] vs 3 [IQR:1, 7]; P < .001). Multivariate analysis confirmed that the number of asynchronous bursts was independently associated with an abnormal postoperative EEG (odds ratio,1.35; confidence interval,:1.10, 1.65; P = .004). CONCLUSIONS Neonates with a greater number of intraoperative asynchronous cortical bursts had an abnormal postoperative EEG.

Abstract
Electroencephalography (EEG) monitoring has become technically feasible in daily clinical anesthesia practice. EEG is a sensitive method for detecting neurophysiological changes in the brain and represents an important frontier in the monitoring and treatment of patients in the perioperative period. In this review, we briefly introduce the essential principles of EEG. We review EEG application during anesthesia practice in the operating room, including the use of processed EEG in depth of anesthesia assessment, raw EEG monitoring in recognizing brain states under different anesthetic agents, the use of EEG in the prevention of perioperative neurocognitive disorders and detection of cerebral ischemia. We then discuss EEG utilization in the intensive care units, including the use of EEG in sedative level titration and prognostication of clinical outcomes. Existing literature provides insight into both the advances and challenges of the clinical applications of EEG. Future study is clearly needed to elucidate the precise EEG features that can reliably optimize perioperative care for individual patients.

Abstract
Ischemia refers to a reduction or interruption of the blood flow to one or more organs. Early recognition of shock, a global ischemic state of the body, is of key importance in emergency and intensive care medicine. The physical examination and point-of-care laboratory diagnostics (i.e. lactate, base deficit, central/mixed venous oxygen saturation, venous-arterial carbon dioxide partial tension) are the methods of choice to diagnose shock in clinical practice. Importantly, a state of shock can also be present in patients with normo- or hypertensive arterial blood pressures. In shock, hypoperfusion of vital and visceral organs occurs. In the second part of this article, physical examination techniques, laboratory and diagnostic methods to detect shock-related hypoperfusion of the brain, heart, kidney and gastrointestinal tract are reviewed.
