Abstract
Although neonates and children with congenital heart disease are primarily hospitalized for cardiac and pulmonary diseases, they are also at an increased risk for neurologic injury due to both empiric differences that can exist in their nervous systems and acquired injury from cardiopulmonary pathology and interventions. Although early efforts in care focused on survival after reparative cardiac surgery, as surgical and anesthetic techniques have evolved and survival rates accordingly improved, the focus has now shifted to maximizing outcomes among survivors. Children and neonates with congenital heart disease experience seizures and poor neurodevelopmental outcomes at a higher rate than age-matched counterparts. The aim of neuromonitoring is to help clinicians identify patients at highest risk for these outcomes to implement strategies to mitigate these risks and to also help with neuroprognostication after an injury has occurred. The mainstays of neuromonitoring are (1) electroencephalographic monitoring to evaluate brain activity for abnormal patterns or changes and to identify seizures, (2) neuroimaging to reveal structural changes and evidence of physical injury in and around the brain, and (3) near-infrared spectroscopy to monitor brain tissue oxygenation and detect changes in perfusion. This review will detail the aforementioned techniques and their use in the care of pediatric patients with congenital heart disease.

Comparing near-infrared spectroscopy-measured cerebral oxygen saturation and corresponding venous oxygen saturations in children with congenital heart disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Transl Pediatr 2022; 11:1374-1388. [PMID: 36072542 PMCID: PMC9442204 DOI: 10.21037/tp-22-345] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2022] [Accepted: 08/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a non-invasive approach that measures cerebral regional oxygen saturation (rScO2). In this study, we evaluated the evidence on the validity of NIRS and the interchangeability between NIRS and common invasive approaches by exploring the correlation and consistency and comparing the mean and standard deviation between the NIRS rScO2 and jugular bulb venous oxygen saturation (SjvO2) as well as central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2) in the perioperative period of children with congenital heart disease (CHD). METHODS We searched electronic bibliographic databases (PubMed, The Cochrane Library and Embase) and screened the studies that met the inclusion criteria. We included cross-sectional studies of CHD pediatric patients in the perioperative period receiving both tests for NIRS rScO2 and SjvO2 or NIRS rScO2 and ScvO2. Methodological quality assessment and heterogeneity analyses were performed. We qualitatively summarized the results of Bland-Altman's analysis. Meta-regression, subgroup analyses, and sensitivity analyses were carried out to explore the causes of heterogeneity. RESULTS There was no significant difference in Cohen's d between rScO2 and ScvO2 or between rScO2 and SjvO2 (Cohen's d =0.06, 95% CI: -0.16 to 0.28; Cohen's d =0.03, 95% CI: -0.25 to 0.31, respectively) and notable heterogeneity existed (I2=76.0%, P<0.001; I2=73.6%, P<0.001, respectively). A positive linear correlation was present between rScO2 and ScvO2 or between rScO2 and SjvO2 (r=0.58, 95% CI: 0.54 to 0.63; r=0.60, 95% CI: 0.54 to 0.66, respectively) and the heterogeneity was not significant (I2=36.7%, P=0.065; I2=12.7%, P=0.328, respectively). In most studies, the 95% limits of agreements of Bland-Altman's analysis were large. No evidence of publication bias was observed. CONCLUSIONS The rScO2 measured by NIRS reflected the SjvO2 and ScvO2 monitored by invasive measurements in the perioperative period of children with CHD to some extent. However, wide limits of agreements between rScO2 and SjvO2 as well as ScvO2 indicated that NIRS and SjvO2 as well as ScvO2 are not interchangeable. Whether NIRS plays a prominent role in monitoring cerebral oxygen saturation in children with CHD needs further research.

Correlation of Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Oximetry and Corresponding Venous Oxygen Saturations in Children with Congenital Heart Disease. Pediatr Cardiol 2022; 43:197-206. [PMID: 34459948 DOI: 10.1007/s00246-021-02718-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2021] [Accepted: 08/25/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Invasive and non-invasive monitoring allow for early detection of hemodynamic compromise, facilitating timely intervention and avoidance of further decline. While venous oximetry is useful for assessing the adequacy of systemic oxygen delivery (DO2), it is most often intermittent, invasive, and costly. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) oximetry allows for the non-invasive estimation of the adequacy of DO2. We assessed the correlation between cerebral NIRS oximetry and superior vena cava (SVC) and jugular venous (JV) oxygen saturations and between renal NIRS oximetry and inferior vena cava (IVC) oxygen saturations. Systematic review of the literature was conducted to identify studies with data regarding near-infrared spectroscopy and venous saturation. The PubMed, EMBASE, Medline, and Cochrane databases were queried using the following terms in isolation and various combinations: "congenital heart disease," "near infrared spectroscopy," "venous saturation," and "pediatric." Pediatric studies in which simultaneous NIRS oximetry and corresponding venous oxygen saturations were simultaneously collected after cardiac surgery or catheterization were identified. Data were pooled from these studies to analyze the correlation between NIRS oximetry and the corresponding venous oxygen saturations. A total of 16 studies with 613 patients were included in the final analyses. Data were present to compare cerebral and renal NIRS oximetry with corresponding venous oxygen saturation. Cerebral NIRS and SVC and JV oxygen saturations and renal NIRS and IVC oxygen saturations demonstrated strong degrees of correlation (r-value 0.70 for each). However, cerebral NIRS and IVC oxygen saturation had a week degree of correlation (r-value of 0.38). Pooled analyses demonstrate that cerebral NIRS oximetry correlates strongly with SVC or JV oxygen saturation while renal NIRS oximetry correlates strongly with IVC oxygen saturations. A weak correlation was noted between cerebral NIRS oximetry and IVC oxygen saturations.

Cerebral oxygenation during pediatric congenital cardiac surgery and its association with outcome: a retrospective observational study. Can J Anaesth 2020; 67:1170-1181. [PMID: 32557197 PMCID: PMC7299246 DOI: 10.1007/s12630-020-01733-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2019] [Revised: 03/25/2020] [Accepted: 05/01/2020] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE Non-invasive cerebral oxygen saturation (ScO2) monitoring is an established tool in the intraoperative phase of pediatric congenital cardiac surgery (CCS). This study investigated the association between ScO2 and postoperative outcome by investigating both baseline ScO2 values and intraoperative desaturations from baseline. METHODS All CCS procedures performed in the period 2010-2017 in our institution in which ScO2 was monitored were included in this historical cohort study. Baseline ScO2 was determined after tracheal intubation, before surgical incision. Subgroups were based on cardiac pathology and degree of intracardiac shunting. Poor outcome was defined based on length of stay (LOS) in the intensive care unit (ICU)/hospital, duration of mechanical ventilation (MV), and 30-day mortality. Intraoperatively, ScO2 total time below baseline (TBBL) and ScO2 time-weighted average (TWA) were calculated. RESULTS Data from 565 patients were analyzed. Baseline ScO2 was significantly associated with LOS in ICU (odds ratio [OR] per percentage decrease in baseline ScO2, 0.95; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.93 to 0.97; P < 0.001), with LOS in hospital (OR, 0.93; 95% CI, 0.91 to 0.96; P < 0.001), with MV duration (OR, 0.92; 95% CI, 0.90 to 0.95; P < 0.001) and with 30-day mortality (OR, 0.94; 95% CI, 0.91 to 0.98; P = 0.007). Cerebral oxygen saturation TWA had no associations, while ScO2 TBBL had only a small association with LOS in ICU (OR, 1.02; 95% CI, 1.01 to 1.03; P < 0.001), MV duration (OR,1.02; 95% CI, 1.01 to 1.03; P = 0.002), and LOS in hospital (OR, 1.02; 95% CI, 1.01 to 1.04; P < 0.001). CONCLUSION In pediatric patients undergoing cardiac surgery, low baseline ScO2 values measured after tracheal intubation were associated with several adverse postoperative outcomes. In contrast, the severity of actual intraoperative cerebral desaturation was not associated with postoperative outcomes. Baseline ScO2 measured after tracheal intubation may help identify patients at increased perioperative risk.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the prognostic factors for permanent neurological dysfunction (PND) after total aortic arch replacement with regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2 ) monitoring. METHODS This retrospective study enrolled 98 type A aortic dissection aneurysm patients who underwent emergency total aortic arch replacement combined with deep hypothermic circulatory arrest and right axillary artery selective antegrade cerebral perfusion (SACP). Data such as age, gender, body mass index, preoperative coexisting disease, laboratory test results, intraoperative critical operation duration, and intraoperative rSO2 were collected, and the neurological prognoses in the hospital were recorded and grouped by severity. Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed on the statistically significant differences between the groups to screen the predictors of postoperative neurological complications in these patients. RESULTS Forty-two patients had postoperative neurological complications, among which there were 29 cases (29.6%) of transient neurological dysfunction, and 13 cases (13.3%) of PND. Multiple logistic regression results showed that advanced age, preoperative low platelet count, prolonged hemostasis time and lowest relative rSO2 to baseline (ΔrSO2 min) in each time period were risk factors for postoperative PND. The ROC curve measurement showed that the optimal cut-off value of ΔrSO2 min was 79.7%, and the area under the curve was 0.708 (95% confidence interval = 0.557-0.858), p = 0.016; the optimal cut-off value of ΔrSO2 min in SACP was 81.6%, and the area under the curve was 0.720 (95% confidence interval = 0.570-0.870), p = 0.011; the optimal cut-off value of ΔrSO2 min in cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) was 80.8%, and the area under the curve was 0.697 (95% confidence interval = 0.554-0.840), p = 0.023. CONCLUSION Intraoperative ΔrSO2 min that is lower than the basal level of about 80%, advanced age, preoperative low platelet count, and prolonged hemostasis time are predictors of PND after total aortic arch replacement.

Abstract
To investigate the use of two-site regional oxygen saturations (rSO2) and end tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2) to assess the effectiveness of resuscitation and return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). Eight mechanically ventilated juvenile swine underwent 28 ventricular fibrillatory arrests with open cardiac massage. Cardiac massage was administered to achieve target pulmonary blood flow (PBF) as a percentage of pre-cardiac arrest baseline. Non-invasive data, including, EtCO2, cerebral rSO2 (C-rSO2) and renal rSO2 (R-rSO2) were collected continuously. Our data demonstrate the ability to measure both rSO2 and EtCO2 during CPR and after ROSC. During resuscitation EtCO2 had a strong correlation with goal CO with r = 0.83 (p < 0.001) 95% CI [0.67–0.92]. Both C-rSO2 and R-rSO2 had moderate and statistically significant correlation with CO with r = 0.52 (p = 0.003) 95% CI (0.19–0.74) and 0.50 (p = 0.004) 95% CI [0.16–0.73]. The AUCs for sudden increase of EtCO2, C-rSO2, and R-rSO2 at ROSC were 0.86 [95% CI, 0.77–0.94], 0.87 [95% CI, 0.8–0.94], and 0.98 [95% CI, 0.96–1.00] respectively. Measurement of continuous EtCO2 and rSO2 may be used during CPR to ensure effective chest compressions. Moreover, both rSO2 and EtCO2 may be used to detect ROSC in a swine pediatric ventricular fibrillatory arrest model.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Neonates and infants undergoing surgery for congenital heart disease are at risk for developmental impairment. Hypoxic-ischemic brain injury might be one contributing factor. We aimed to investigate the perioperative release of the astrocyte protein S100B and its relation to cerebral oxygenation. METHODS Serum S100B was measured before and 0, 12, 24, and 48 hours after surgery. Cerebral oxygen saturation was derived by near-infrared spectroscopy. S100B reference values based on preoperative samples; concentrations above the 75th percentile were defined as elevated. Patients with elevated S100B at 24 or 48 hours were compared to cases with S100B in the normal range. Neonates (≤28 days) and infants (>28 and ≤365 days) were analyzed separately due to age-dependent release of S100B. RESULTS Seventy-four patients underwent 94 surgical procedures (neonates, n = 38; infants, n = 56). S100B concentrations were higher in neonates before and after surgery at all time points (P ≤ .015). Highest values were noticed immediately after surgery. Postoperative S100B was elevated after 15 (40.5%) surgeries in neonates. There was no difference in pre-, intra-, or postoperative cerebral oxygenation. In infants, postoperative S100B was elevated after 23 (41.8%) procedures. Preoperative cerebral oxygen saturations tended to be lower (53 ± 12% vs 59 ± 12%, P = .069) and arterial-cerebral oxygen saturation difference was higher (35 ± 11% vs 28 ± 11%, P = .018) in infants with elevated postoperative S100B. In the early postoperative course, cerebral oxygen saturation was lower (54 ± 13% vs 63 ± 12%, P = .011) and arterial-cerebral oxygen saturation difference was wider (38 ± 11% vs 30 ± 10%, P = .008). Cerebral oxygen saturation was also lower for the entire postoperative course (62 ± 18% vs 67 ± 9%, P = .047). CONCLUSIONS Postoperative S100B was elevated in about 40% of neonates and infants undergoing cardiac surgery. Infants with elevated postoperative S100B had impaired perioperative cerebral tissue oxygenation. No relation between S100B and cerebral oxygenation could be demonstrated in neonates.

Abstract
We summarize the available in vivo validation of cerebral near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) oximetry to inform future in vivo validation strategies. In particular, to establish a way forward in the assessment of NIRS instrumentation for future randomized trials, a systematic literature search is performed. The records are screened and abstracts are assessed to select studies fulfilling our inclusion criteria. Twenty-two pediatric and 28 adult studies are analyzed after exclusion of three articles in each group. All studies compare regional cerebral tissue oxygenation measured by cerebral NIRS to invasive measurement of central or jugular venous oxygen saturation. In studies without Bland-Altman plots, we extracted data from scatter plots enabling estimation of mean difference (MD), standard deviation (SD), and limits of agreement (LOA). To assess the agreement between rStO 2 (regional cerebral tissue oxygenation) estimated by NIRS and by blood samples, weighted averages of the MDs and SDs from each study are calculated. We found a fair agreement between the overall mean of cerebral tissue oxygenation and the mean of a reference value measured by co-oximetry whatever NIRS instrument or site of blood sampling used. Cerebral oxygenation overestimates the reference at low values, some instruments apparently more than others. Thus, a high degree of scatter and a lack of a good reference method complicate in vivo validation of NIRS. It is difficult to draw any firm conclusions despite the large number of studies, and the result of this review leaves us questioning if more of such validation studies of cerebral NIRS oximetry are really needed. Furthermore, the combination of lack of validation and poor repeatability is an important issue when designing a randomized clinical trial of implementing cerebral NIRS oximetry into clinical care.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess whether near-infrared cerebral tissue oxygen saturation, measured with the FORESIGHT cerebral oximeter (CAS Medical Systems, Branford, CT) predicts PICU length of stay, duration of invasive mechanical ventilation, and mortality in critically ill children after pediatric cardiac surgery. DESIGN Single-center prospective, observational study. SETTING Twelve-bed PICU of a tertiary academic hospital. PATIENTS Critically ill children and infants with congenital heart disease, younger than 12 years old, admitted to the PICU between October 2012 and November 2015. Children were monitored with the FORESIGHT cerebral oximeter from PICU admission until they were weaned off mechanical ventilation. Clinicians were blinded to cerebral tissue oxygen saturation data. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Primary outcome was the predictive value of the first 24 hours of postoperative cerebral tissue oxygen saturation for duration of PICU stay (median [95% CI], 4 d [3-8 d]) and duration of mechanical ventilation (median [95% CI], 111.3 hr (69.3-190.4 hr]). We calculated predictors on the first 24 hours of cerebral tissue oxygen saturation monitoring. The association of each individual cerebral tissue oxygen saturation predictor and of a combination of predictors were assessed using univariable and multivariable bootstrap analyses, adjusting for age, weight, gender, Pediatric Index of Mortality 2, Risk Adjustment in Congenital Heart Surgery 1, cyanotic heart defect, and time prior to cerebral tissue oxygen saturation monitoring. The most important risk factors associated with worst outcomes were an increased SD of a smoothed cerebral tissue oxygen saturation signal and an elevated cerebral tissue oxygen saturation desaturation score. CONCLUSIONS Increased SD of a smoothed cerebral tissue oxygen saturation signal and increased depth and duration of desaturation below the 50% saturation threshold were associated with longer PICU and hospital stays and with longer duration of mechanical ventilation after pediatric cardiac surgery.

MEDLINE and EMBASE were searched from inception to August 2017 for all prospective and retrospective cohort studies explicitly reporting incidence of thrombosis, thromboembolism, or shunt occlusion in neonates, infants, and children undergoing 1 or more variants of the SCPA procedure. End points included thrombotic events and thromboembolic events (strokes and pulmonary embolisms) as primary outcomes, and overall mortality as a secondary outcome, at the last available follow-up time point. Of 1303 unique references identified, 13 cohort studies were deemed eligible. Reported incidence of thrombosis and thromboembolic events ranged from 0% to 28.0% and from 0% to 12.5%, respectively. Reported incidence of major bleeding events ranged from 0% to 2.9%. Reported overall mortality ranged from 2.5% to 50.5% across studies. Thromboprophylaxis protocols varied across institutions and studies, most commonly involving unfractionated heparin (UFH), warfarin, enoxaparin, acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), or combinations of ASA and warfarin, ASA and low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH), UFH and LMWH, and UFH and ASA; several studies did not specify a protocol. Due to substantial variability in reported event rates, no clear correlation was identified between prophylaxis protocols and postoperative thrombotic complications. Despite guidance recommending postoperative UFH as standard practice, thromboprophylaxis protocols varied across institutions and studies. More robust trials evaluating different thromboprophylaxis regimens for the management of these patients are warranted.

Abstract
Standard hemodynamic monitoring such as blood pressure and pulse oximetry may only provide a crude estimation of organ perfusion in the critical care setting. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is based on the same principle as a pulse oximeter and allows continuous noninvasive monitoring of hemoglobin oxygenation and deoxygenation and thus tissue saturation "StO2" This review aims to provide an overview of NIRS technology principles and discuss its current clinical use in the critical care setting. The study selection was performed using the PubMed database to find studies that investigated the use of NIRS in both the critical care setting and in the intensive care unit. Currently, NIRS in the critical care setting is predominantly being used for infants and neonates. A number of studies in the past decade have shown promising results for the use of NIRS in surgical/trauma intensive care units during shock management as a prognostic tool and in guiding resuscitation. It is evident that over the past 2 decades, NIRS has gone from being a laboratory fascination to an actively employed clinical tool. Even though the benefit of routine use of this technology to achieve better outcomes is still questionable, the fact that NIRS is a low-cost, noninvasive monitoring modality improves the attractiveness of the technology. However, more research may be warranted before recommending its routine use in the critical care setting.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe the methodology for and utilization of tissue oxygen monitoring by near infrared spectroscopy, and to review the current literature on the use of this monitoring modality in human and veterinary settings. DATA SOURCES Scientific reviews and original research found using the PubMed and CAB Abstract search engines with the following keywords: "tissue oxygen monitoring," "near-infrared tissue spectroscopy," and "tissue oxygen saturation (StO2 )." HUMAN DATA SYNTHESIS Tissue oxygen monitors have been evaluated in a wide variety of human clinical applications including trauma and triage, surgery, sepsis, and septic shock, and early goal-directed therapy. StO2 more rapidly identifies occult shock in human patients compared to traditional methods, which can lead to earlier intervention in these patients. VETERINARY DATA SYNTHESIS Veterinary studies involving tissue oxygen monitoring are limited, but the technology may have utility for identification of hemorrhagic shock earlier than changes in base excess, blood lactate concentration, or other traditional perfusion parameters. CONCLUSION Tissue oxygen monitoring is most commonly performed utilizing a noninvasive, portable monitor, which provides real-time, continuous, repeatable StO2 measurements. A decline in StO2 is an early indicator of shock in both human and veterinary patients. Low StO2 values in human patients are associated with increased morbidity, mortality, and length of hospitalization, as well as the development of multiple organ system dysfunction and surgical site infections.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) provides an assessment of cerebral oxygenation and tissue hemoglobin concentration. AIM The aim of this study was to investigate whether the cerebral oxygenation and hemoglobin concentration measured with NIRS could predict outcomes after pediatric cardiac surgery. METHOD We conducted a retrospective observational study in 399 patients who underwent pediatric cardiac surgery. Associations were determined between postoperative outcome and preoperative and postoperative cerebral tissue oxygenation index (TOI), postoperative normalized tissue hemoglobin index (nTHI), concentration changes in oxygenated hemoglobin (Δ[HbO2 ]) and deoxygenated hemoglobin (Δ[HHb]). RESULTS Thirty-nine children had major postoperative morbidity and 12 died. Using Spearman's correlation analysis, postoperative lower TOI and higher Δ[HHb] were associated with longer stays in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) (r = -0.48, P < 0.001, r = 0.31, P < 0.001, respectively) and longer duration of intubation (r = -0.48, P < 0.001, r = 0.31, P < 0.001, respectively) and higher probability of death determined by the Risk Adjusted Classification for Congenital Heart Surgery (RACHS-1) (r = -0.39, P < 0.001, r = 0.23, P < 0.001, respectively). In multivariate regression analysis, postoperative TOI was independently associated with major morbidity and mortality and Δ[HHb] was independently associated with major morbidity. In receiver operating characteristic analysis, postoperative TOI and Δ[HHb] predicted major morbidity (Area under the curve [AUC] = 0.72, 0.68, respectively) and mortality (AUC = 0.81, 0.69, respectively). CONCLUSION Lower TOI or higher [HHb] at the end of surgery and higher RACHS-1 category predicted worse outcomes.

Abstract
The use of an indwelling arterial catheter is standard practice in the postoperative monitoring of paediatric cardiac surgery patients. Arteriovenous fistula related to this procedure can be difficult to diagnose. Regional haemoglobin oxygen saturation (rSO2) using near-infrared spectroscopy and central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2) are monitored to follow the balance between oxygen consumption and delivery. Low values of these parameters are a sign of low cardiac output. High rSO2 and high ScvO2 are less frequently described. We report the discovery of an iatrogenic arteriovenous fistula in a neonate after cardiac surgery who had unexpectedly high values of renal rSO2 and femoral ScvO2. High renal rSO2 after femoral instrumentation should alert the physician to the possibility of arteriovenous fistula.

Abstract
In this study we investigated the responsiveness of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) recordings measuring regional cerebral tissue oxygenation (rSO2) during hypoxia in apneic divers. The goal was to mimic dynamic hypoxia as present during cardiopulmonary resuscitation, laryngospasm, airway obstruction, or the "cannot ventilate cannot intubate" situation. Ten experienced apneic divers performed maximal breath hold maneuvers under dry conditions. SpO2 was measured by Masimo™ pulse oximetry on the forefinger of the left hand. NIRS was measured by NONIN Medical's EQUANOX™ on the forehead or above the musculus quadriceps femoris. Following apnea median cerebral rSO2 and SpO2 values decreased significantly from 71 to 54 and from 100 to 65%, respectively. As soon as cerebral rSO2 and SpO2 values decreased monotonically the correlation between normalized cerebral rSO2 and SpO2 values was highly significant (Pearson correlation coefficient = 0.893). Prior to correlation analyses, the values were normalized by dividing them by the individual means of stable pre-apneic measurements. Cerebral rSO2 measured re-saturation after termination of apnea significantly earlier (10 s, SD = 3.6 s) compared to SpO2 monitoring (21 s, SD = 4.4 s) [t(9) = 7.703, p < 0.001, r(2) = 0.868]. Our data demonstrate that NIRS monitoring reliably measures dynamic changes in cerebral tissue oxygen saturation, and identifies successful re-saturation faster than SpO2. Measuring cerebral rSO2 may prove beneficial in case of respiratory emergencies and during pulseless situations where SpO2 monitoring is impossible.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The decreasing postoperative mortality in patients with congenital heart disease has enabled an increasing interest in preventing morbidity, especially from the central nervous system. Near-infrared spectroscopy, a noninvasive technology that provides an estimate of tissue oxygenation, has been introduced in the intensive care unit and has gained popularity over the last decade. This review aims to ascertain its ability to affect outcome. RECENT FINDINGS Recent studies have started to incorporate cerebral near-infrared spectroscopy in the assessment, evolution, and outcomes of surgical patients with congenital heart disease. These studies often represent small single-center high-risk cohorts that are evaluated in a retrospective or an observational manner. Nevertheless, new data are starting to indicate that near-infrared spectroscopy may be helpful not only in the assessment of critical care parameters, such as cardiac output performance or likelihood of adverse events, but, most notably, in the long-term neurological outcome. SUMMARY In addition to additional corroborative trials from different centers, a critical question that remains to be answered is whether targeting cerebral near-infrared spectroscopy values, as part of goal-directed therapy protocols, can help to improve outcome overall.

Abstract
We demonstrated the application of relative radiance-based continuous wave (cw) measurements for recovering absorption and scattering properties (the effective attenuation coefficient, the diffusion coefficient, the absorption coefficient and the reduced scattering coefficient) of bulk porcine muscle phantoms in the 650-900 nm spectral range. Both the side-firing fiber (the detector) and the fiber with a spherical diffuser at the end (the source) were inserted interstitially at predetermined locations in the phantom. The porcine phantoms were prostate-shaped with ∼4 cm in diameter and ∼3 cm thickness and made from porcine loin or tenderloin muscles. The described method was previously validated using the diffusion approximation on simulated and experimental radiance data obtained for homogenous Intralipid-1% liquid phantom. The approach required performing measurements in two locations in the tissue with different distances to the source. Measurements were performed on 21 porcine phantoms. Spectral dependences of the effective attenuation and absorption coefficients for the loin phantom deviated from corresponding dependences for the tenderloin phantom for wavelengths <750 nm. The diffusion constant and the reduced scattering coefficient were very close for both phantom types. To quantify chromophore presence, the plot for the absorption coefficient was matched with a synthetic absorption spectrum constructed from deoxyhemoglobin, oxyhemoglobin and water. The closest match for the porcine loin spectrum was obtained with the following concentrations: 15.5 µM (±30% s.d.) Hb, 21 µM (±30% s.d.) HbO2 and 0.3 (±30% s.d.) fractional volume of water. The tenderloin absorption spectrum was best described by 30 µM Hb (±30% s.d), 19 µM (±30% s.d.) HbO2 and 0.3 (±30% s.d.) fractional volume of water. The higher concentration of Hb in tenderloin was consistent with a dark-red appearance of the tenderloin phantom. The method can be applied to a number of biological tissues and organs for interstitial optical interrogation.
