Non-Invasive Tools in Perioperative Stroke Risk Assessment for Asymptomatic Carotid Artery Stenosis with a Focus on the Circle of Willis. J Clin Med 2024; 13:2487. [PMID: 38731014 PMCID: PMC11084304 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13092487] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2024] [Revised: 04/17/2024] [Accepted: 04/20/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024] Open
Abstract
This review aims to explore advancements in perioperative ischemic stroke risk estimation for asymptomatic patients with significant carotid artery stenosis, focusing on Circle of Willis (CoW) morphology based on the CTA or MR diagnostic imaging in the current preoperative diagnostic algorithm. Functional transcranial Doppler (fTCD), near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), and optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) are discussed in the context of evaluating cerebrovascular reserve capacity and collateral vascular systems, particularly the CoW. These non-invasive diagnostic tools provide additional valuable insights into the cerebral perfusion status. They support biomedical modeling as the gold standard for the prediction of the potential impact of carotid artery stenosis on the hemodynamic changes of cerebral perfusion. Intraoperative risk assessment strategies, including selective shunting, are explored with a focus on CoW variations and their implications for perioperative ischemic stroke and cognitive function decline. By synthesizing these insights, this review underscores the potential of non-invasive diagnostic methods to support clinical decision making and improve asymptomatic patient outcomes by reducing the risk of perioperative ischemic neurological events and preventing further cognitive decline.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Many techniques are available for the intraoperative assessment of brain perfusion during carotid endarterectomy, such as carotid stump pressure, near-infrared spectroscopy, somatosensory evoked potentials, transcranial Doppler, electroencephalography, and clinical assessment. The decision for selective carotid shunt insertion is dependent on clinical deterioration or the detection of cerebral hypoperfusion after cross-clamping of the internal carotid artery. Monitoring cerebral oximetry using near-infrared spectroscopy is a noninvasive technique for cerebral oxygen saturation measurement, reflecting changes in cerebral blood flow during carotid endarterectomy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability of near-infrared spectroscopy as a predictor of selective shunting during carotid endarterectomy. METHODS In total, 47 conventional carotid endarterectomy surgeries were performed at our hospital between March 2016 and December 2021. All surgeries were performed under a regional cervical block supplemented with local infiltration anesthesia. All patients were monitored by cerebral oximetry using bilateral near-infrared spectroscopy probes and clinical assessment through communication with the patient (numerical, visual, and verbal) to indicate a selective shunt. Near-infrared spectroscopy values were recorded before and after internal carotid cross-clamping and after declamping. Any decrease in ipsilateral cerebral oximetry-near-infrared spectroscopy values equal to or more than 20% from the pre-clamping baseline reading associated with deterioration in neurological status (hemiparesis, aphasia, or deterioration in level of consciousness) after internal carotid artery cross-clamping was considered an indication for intraluminal carotid shunting. RESULTS After internal carotid artery cross-clamping, 5 of 47 patients (10.6%) developed a significant drop in cerebral oxygen saturation associated with obvious clinical assessment deterioration in verbal communication and weakness in contralateral arm power. A Pruitt-Inahara carotid shunt was subsequently inserted, and 42 patients remained stable throughout surgery. The average decline in ipsilateral near-infrared spectroscopy values was 23.8% in patients with clinical deterioration. The average decline was 8.6% in patients who remained stable. CONCLUSIONS Monitoring ipsilateral cerebral oximetry using near-infrared spectroscopy is an easy and reliable method for indicating selective shunting during carotid endarterectomy. A 20% decrease in ipsilateral brain tissue oximetry after internal carotid artery cross-clamping provides a reliable cut-off value for selective intraluminal carotid shunting during carotid endarterectomy.

The Quantitative Associations Between Near Infrared Spectroscopic Cerebrovascular Metrics and Cerebral Blood Flow: A Scoping Review of the Human and Animal Literature. Front Physiol 2022; 13:934731.

Abstract
Cerebral blood flow (CBF) is an important physiologic parameter that is vital for proper cerebral function and recovery. Current widely accepted methods of measuring CBF are cumbersome, invasive, or have poor spatial or temporal resolution. Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) based measures of cerebrovascular physiology may provide a means of non-invasively, topographically, and continuously measuring CBF. We performed a systematically conducted scoping review of the available literature examining the quantitative relationship between NIRS-based cerebrovascular metrics and CBF. We found that continuous-wave NIRS (CW-NIRS) was the most examined modality with dynamic contrast enhanced NIRS (DCE-NIRS) being the next most common. Fewer studies assessed diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) and frequency resolved NIRS (FR-NIRS). We did not find studies examining the relationship between time-resolved NIRS (TR-NIRS) based metrics and CBF. Studies were most frequently conducted in humans and animal studies mostly utilized large animal models. The identified studies almost exclusively used a Pearson correlation analysis. Much of the literature supported a positive linear relationship between changes in CW-NIRS based metrics, particularly regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2), and changes in CBF. Linear relationships were also identified between other NIRS based modalities and CBF, however, further validation is needed.

Abstract
Cerebral complications are common in perioperative settings even in non-neurosurgical procedures. These include postoperative cognitive dysfunction or delirium as well as cerebrovascular accidents. During surgery, it is essential to ensure an adequate degree of sedation and analgesia, and at the same time, to provide hemodynamic and respiratory stability in order to minimize neurological complications. In this context, the role of neuromonitoring in the operating room is gaining interest, even in the non-neurolosurgical population. The use of multimodal neuromonitoring can potentially reduce the occurrence of adverse effects during and after surgery, and optimize the administration of anesthetic drugs. In addition to the traditional focus on monitoring hemodynamic and respiratory systems during general anesthesia, the ability to constantly monitor the activity and maintenance of brain homeostasis, creating evidence-based protocols, should also become part of the standard of care: in this challenge, neuromonitoring comes to our aid. In this review, we aim to describe the role of the main types of noninvasive neuromonitoring such as those based on electroencephalography (EEG) waves (EEG, Entropy module, Bispectral Index, Narcotrend Monitor), near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) based on noninvasive measurement of cerebral regional oxygenation, and Transcranial Doppler used in the perioperative settings in non-neurosurgical intervention. We also describe the advantages, disadvantage, and limitation of each monitoring technique.

Abstract
In critically ill patients, direct knowledge of intracellular pO2 would allow for identification of cellular hypoxia, which when prolonged leads to organ failure. We have developed a visible-near-infrared optical system that noninvasively measures myoglobin saturation, which is directly related to intracellular pO2, from the surface of the skin. We used an animal model of graded hypoxia from low levels of inspired oxygen (n = 5) and verified that low intracellular pO2 is correlated with high steady-state serum lactate values. In addition, the pO2 gradient between arterial blood and inside muscle cells was 83 mm Hg at 21% O2, but fell to 24 mm Hg at 8% O2. Continuous myoglobin saturation measurement in skeletal muscle displayed the same trends as cerebral oxygenation with no lag in changes over time, demonstrating its relevance as a measure of systemic oxygenation.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE Diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) is an established optical modality that enables noninvasive measurements of blood flow in deep tissue by quantifying the temporal light intensity fluctuations generated by dynamic scattering of moving red blood cells. Compared with near-infrared spectroscopy, DCS is hampered by a limited signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) due to the need to use small detection apertures to preserve speckle contrast. However, DCS is a dynamic light scattering technique and does not rely on hemoglobin contrast; thus, there are significant SNR advantages to using longer wavelengths (>1000 nm) for the DCS measurement due to a variety of biophysical and regulatory factors. AIM We offer a quantitative assessment of the benefits and challenges of operating DCS at 1064 nm versus the typical 765 to 850 nm wavelength through simulations and experimental demonstrations. APPROACH We evaluate the photon budget, depth sensitivity, and SNR for detecting blood flow changes using numerical simulations. We discuss continuous wave (CW) and time-domain (TD) DCS hardware considerations for 1064 nm operation. We report proof-of-concept measurements in tissue-like phantoms and healthy adult volunteers. RESULTS DCS at 1064 nm offers higher intrinsic sensitivity to deep tissue compared with DCS measurements at the typically used wavelength range (765 to 850 nm) due to increased photon counts and a slower autocorrelation decay. These advantages are explored using simulations and are demonstrated using phantom and in vivo measurements. We show the first high-speed (cardiac pulsation-resolved), high-SNR measurements at large source-detector separation (3 cm) for CW-DCS and late temporal gates (1 ns) for TD-DCS. CONCLUSIONS DCS at 1064 nm offers a leap forward in the ability to monitor deep tissue blood flow and could be especially useful in increasing the reliability of cerebral blood flow monitoring in adults.

Abstract
Objectives The aim of our study was to evaluate the near-infrared spectroscopy monitoring system to detect cerebral ischaemia, find indications for selective shunting during carotid endarterectomy and compare it with an internal carotid artery stump pressure monitoring technique in patients operated under local anaesthesia. Methods During January 2015 and November 2018, 131 patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy under local anaesthesia were prospectively included in the study. Near-infrared spectroscopy as intraoperative monitoring was applied and compared with stump pressure. Results Carotid endarterectomy was performed successfully in 106 patients operated under local anaesthesia. Meanwhile, 25 patients developed neurological changes (motor or consciousness impairment, weakness of extremities, cognitive decline) during clamping, and all of them received a shunt. ΔrSO2, stump pressure and rSO2 (–11 ± 8%, 31 ± 6mmHg, 58 ± 11) values were smaller in the group of shunted subjects versus non-shunted group subjects (–2 ± 5%, 61 ± 17 mmHg, 64 ± 8) after 1 min of internal carotid artery clamping ( p < 0.05). Statistical analysis showed a sensitivity of 90% (95% CI: 0.85–0.95) and a specificity of 70% (95% CI: 0.62–0.78) for a ≥10% drop in ΔrSO2 to predict ischaemia symptoms during carotid clamping. Using stump pressure with a cut-off value of ≤40 mmHg for predicting symptoms, the sensitivity was 82% and specificity 54%. Conclusions Near-infrared spectroscopy is a suitable non-invasive cerebral oxygenation monitoring method during carotid endarterectomy. A 10% decrease of ΔrSO2 had a good correlation with clinical cerebral ischaemia signs and matched well with the stump pressure cut-off value of ≤40 mmHg. There is a possibility of near-infrared spectroscopy to replace stump pressure in cerebral oxygenation monitoring during carotid endarterectomy. However, we need larger prospective multicentre studies to identify the optimal threshold for shunt requirement.

Abstract
Peri-operative brain function monitoring is still seen by most clinicians as complex, difficult to interpret and is therefore adopted very slowly. Current available technology mainly focusses on either a processed parameter based on the electroencephalogram to titrate anesthetics and central acting agents or on cerebral oximetry, a wider term to obtain information on the cerebral oxygen balance. There is still a lack of technological offerings that allow to monitor both entities in one device. However, there is scientific evidence that it is possible to combine measurements in an algorithmic approach that allows to better manage brain function in the surgical setting. Such integrated solutions should be made available to clinicians as they are likely to optimize patient care dependent on a sound health technology assessment.

Abstract
Background/aim In this study, it was aimed to investigate the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and cerebral oxygenation during spinal anesthesia in women undergoing cesarean section. This study also aimed to demonstrate whether fetal cord blood oxygenation was affected by maternal BMI and/or delivery time. Materials and methods The study included parturients with ASA I score undergoing cesarean section under spinal anesthesia in 2015 and 2016. They were divided into two groups according to BMI: Group 1 comprised parturients with BMI of <30 (n = 11) and Group 2 comprised parturients with BMI of ≥30 (n = 17). Right cerebral oxygenation (RSO2) and left cerebral oxygenation (LSO2) monitoring was performed using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). The participants were divided into two groups according to the duration of fetal delivery. Group A included parturients with delivery time of <2 min (n = 7) and Group B those with delivery time of >2 min (n = 18), and fetal cord blood oxygenation was measured using a blood gas analyzer. Results Evaluation was made of a total of 25 patients. The RSO2 values were measured at the 20th, 30th, and 35th minutes of the cesarean section procedure and the median values of all the time intervals in Group 1 were significantly lower than those of Group 2 (P < 0.05). The LSO2 value was significantly lower in Group 1 at the 35th minute compared to Group 2 (P < 0.05). The PO2 values of fetal cord blood were significantly lower in Group B (P < 0.05). Conclusion The results of this study showed that parturients with BMI of <30 who are undergoing cesarean section under spinal anesthesia might have an increased risk of complications due to decreased cerebral oxygenation related with hypotension. Therefore, it can be suggested that before and during cesarean section these patients should be closely monitored for cerebral oxygenation using NIRS.

Abstract
Background: During carotid arterial endarterectomy (CAE) surgery, an intraluminal shunt is used to prevent hypoperfusion, which can be caused by a cross-clamping cerebral ischemia. However, routine shunt use is not recommended. Various cerebral monitoring techniques are used to determine the need for shunt placement. In this study, retrospective analysis of data on the efficacy of cerebral oximetry in the decision of shunt use during elective CAE surveys was planned. Materials and Methods: We collected data on 68 patients operated under general anesthesia between December 2016 and December 2017. Patients were evaluated for near infrared spectrometry (NIRS) and stump pressure values and whether shunt was placed or not. Results: Eight (11.7%) patients were shunting. NIRS value after cross-clamping was lower in patients with shunt. Stump pressure values were below 40 mmHg. Conclusions: Cerebral monitoring in elective CAE operations has great importance in determining the necessity of using intraluminal shunt to reduce the complications that may occur.

Abstract
Background:Cerebral hypoxia is one of the most important causes of secondary brain injury during neurosurgical procedures and in neurointensive care. In patients with brain injury, cerebrovascular reactivity may be impaired and a decrease in mean arterial pressure or cerebral perfusion pressure may lead to inadequate cerebral blood flow and secondary ischemia. There are several techniques available to measure brain oxygenation. In particular, near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a non-invasive neuromonitoring technique and there has been a rapid expansion of clinical evidence that NIRS reduces perioperative neurologic complications. Methods:This systematic review synthesizes prospective and retrospective cohort studies that investigate the benefit of using NIRS in prevention of perioperative neurologic complications. The methodological quality of these studies is appraised.Results:Seven studies were included in this systematic review. The methodological quality of each study was assessed. They had representative patient populations, clear selection criteria and clear descriptions of study designs. Reproducible study protocols with ethics board approval were present. Clinical results were described in sufficient detail and were applicable to patient undergoing neurosurgical procedures and in neurointensive care. Limitations included small sample sizes and lack of reference standard.Conclusions:This systematic review synthesizes the most current evidence of non-invasive, inexpensive, and continuous measurement of cerebral oxygenation by NIRS. Results gained from these studies are clinically useful and shed light on how this neuromonitoring technique is beneficial in preventing perioperative neurological complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The effects of prone position (PP) on cerebral tissue metabolism are not well known. The aim of this investigation was to evaluate regional cerebral oxygen desaturation in patients undergoing lumbar spine surgery in PP during routine anesthesia management. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between July 2013 and October 2013, 50 consecutive patients undergoing lumbar spine surgery under general anesthesia in PP were enrolled. The anesthetic technique was standardized. Using near-infrared spectroscopy, bilateral regional cerebrovascular oxygen saturation was recorded during the surgery. RESULTS After 30 and 60 minutes of prone repositioning, significant decreases in bilateral regional cerebral oxygen saturation were observed compared with the values in the supine position (from 76.24% to 73.18% at 30 min and 72.76% at 60 min on the right side and from 77.06% to 73.76% at 30 min and 72.92% at 60 min on the left side; P<0.05). These changes were not clinically important and returned to supine values after 90 minutes of prone positioning. Decreases in cerebral oxygen saturation were accompanied by reductions in heart rate and mean arterial pressure (P<0.05). Older age and higher perioperative risk had a significant effect on the reduction of cerebral oxygen values (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS The results of our study show that margin of safety against impaired cerebral oxygenation can be maintained in PP. Preventing bradycardia and arterial hypotension is crucial. Older patients and those at higher perioperative risk need more meticulous attention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cerebral injury and long-term neurodevelopmental impairment is common in extremely preterm infants. Cerebral near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) enables continuous estimation of cerebral oxygenation. This diagnostic method coupled with appropriate interventions if NIRS is out of normal range (that is cerebral oxygenation within the 55% to 85% range) may offer benefits without causing more harms. Therefore, NIRS coupled with appropriate responses to abnormal findings on NIRS needs assessment in a systematic review of randomised clinical trials and quasi-randomised studies. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the benefits and harms of interventions that attempt to alter cerebral oxygenation guided by cerebral NIRS monitoring in order to prevent cerebral injury, improve neurological outcome, and increase survival in preterm infants born more than 8 weeks preterm. SEARCH METHODS We used the standard search strategy of the Cochrane Neonatal Review Group to search the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL 2016, Issue 8), MEDLINE via PubMed (1966 to 10 September 2016), Embase (1980 to 10 September 2016), and CINAHL (1982 to 10 September 2016). We also searched clinical trial databases, conference proceedings, and the reference lists of retrieved articles for randomised clinical trials and quasi-randomised studies. SELECTION CRITERIA Randomised clinical trials and quasi-randomised clinical studies comparing continuous cerebral NIRS monitoring for at least 24 hours versus blinded NIRS or versus no NIRS monitoring. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Two review authors independently selected, assessed the quality of, and extracted data from the included trials and studies. If necessary, we contacted authors for further information. We conducted assessments of risks of bias; risks of design errors; and controlled the risks of random errors with Trial Sequential Analysis. We assessed the quality of the evidence with GRADE. MAIN RESULTS One randomised clinical trial met inclusion criteria, including infants born more than 12 weeks preterm. The trial employed adequate methodologies and was assessed at low risk of bias. One hundred and sixty-six infants were randomised to start continuous cerebral NIRS monitoring less than 3 hours after birth until 72 hours after birth plus appropriate interventions if NIRS was out of normal range according to a guideline versus conventional monitoring with blinded NIRS. There was no effect of NIRS plus guideline of mortality until term-equivalent age (RR 0.50, 95% CI 0.29 to 1.00; one trial; 166 participants). There were no effects of NIRS plus guideline on intraventricular haemorrhages: all grades (RR 0.93, 95% CI 0.65 to 1.34; one trial; 166 participants); grade III/IV (RR 0.57, 95% CI 0.25 to 1.31; one trial; 166 participants); and cystic periventricular leukomalacia (which did not occur in either group). Likewise, there was no effect of NIRS plus guideline on the occurrence of a patent ductus arteriosus (RR 1.96, 95% CI 0.94 to 4.08; one trial; 166 participants); chronic lung disease (RR 1.27, 95% CI 0.94 to 1.50; one trial; 166 participants); necrotising enterocolitis (RR 0.83, 95% CI 0.33 to 1.94; one trial; 166 participants); and retinopathy of prematurity (RR 1.64, 95% CI 0.75 to 3.00; one trial; 166 participants). There were no serious adverse events in any of the intervention groups. NIRS plus guideline caused more skin marks from the NIRS sensor in the control group than in the experimental group (unadjusted RR 0.31, 95% CI 0.10 to 0.92; one trial; 166 participants). There are no data regarding neurodevelopmental outcome, renal impairment or air leaks.The quality of evidence for all comparisons discussed above was assessed as very low apart from all-cause mortality and adverse events: these were assessed as low and moderate, respectively. The validity of all comparisons is hampered by a small sample of randomised infants, risk of bias due to lack of blinding, and indirectness of outcomes. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS The only eligible randomised clinical trial did not demonstrate any consistent effects of NIRS plus a guideline on the assessed clinical outcomes. The trial was, however, only powered to detect difference in cerebral oxygenation, not morbidities or mortality. Our systematic review did not reach sufficient power to prove or disprove effects on clinical outcomes. Further randomised clinical trials with low risks of bias and low risks of random errors are needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pain assessment by Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) is considered to be good clinical practice, but objective pain assessment is still a challenge. Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) measures cerebral tissue oxygen saturation (SctO2) that increases with cortical-neuronal activity and may provide point-of-care bedside pain monitoring. Analogous to promising studies in newborns, we hypothesize that different levels of SctO2 can probably quantify pain intensity. SctO2 may increase following painful in contrast to non-painful or sham stimuli and may correlate with pain intensity as assessed by NRS in volunteers. METHODS Twenty healthy male students (24.2±1.9 years), recruited via local advertising, were consecutively included in a sequence-randomized, sham-controlled, single-blinded study. SctO2 was recorded continuously with two NIRS sensors on the forehead. After resting, four stimuli were applied in a random order on the right forearm (unexpected and expected electrical pain, expected non-painful and sham stimuli). Blinded subjects were asked to rate each stimulus on NRS. STATISTICS RM-ANOVA; Wilcoxon or paired Student t-test; Spearman's rank correlation; P<.05. RESULTS Resting volunteers showed SctO2 of 72.65%±3.39. SctO2 significantly increased for about 60 to 70s until a maximum after unexpected painful (74.62%±3.9; P=.022) and sham stimuli (74.07%±3.23; P=.014). Expected painful (P=.139) and non-painful stimuli (P=.455) resulted in no changes in SctO2. NRS scores (median, IQR) were rated significantly higher after expected (5.25, 3.5 to 6.75) than after unexpected (4.5, 3 to 5; P=.008) pain. No strong correlation was found between NRS and SctO2. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS Contrary to our expectations, measuring SctO2 via a two-channel NIRS is not able to remediate the lack of objective bedside pain assessment under standardized experimental conditions in alert adults.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the potential utility of a novel non-invasive muscle oxygen measurement to determine the presence of muscle hypoxia in patients with anaemia. BACKGROUND Recent assessment of the risk/benefit ratio of blood transfusion has led to clinical strategies optimising transfusion decisions. These decisions are primarily based on haematocrit (Hct) but not oxygen delivery, the primary function of red blood cells (RBCs). We hypothesised that muscle oxygenation (MOx) would correlate with Hct in patients with anaemia and may be a physiologically relevant determinant of the transfusion threshold. METHODS/MATERIALS MOx was non-invasively determined in children in the Cancer and Blood Disorders Center ambulatory clinic at Seattle Children's Hospital using a custom-designed optical probe and spectrometer. MOx was compared with contemporaneous Hct. In subjects receiving RBCs, MOx and Hct were also determined following transfusion. RESULTS MOx ranged from 36·7 to 100%, and Hct ranged from 17·0 to 38·6% in 27 measurements from 16 patients. High MOx values were associated with high Hct. Mean MOx for patients with normal Hct for age (n = 5) was 95·9 ± 2·9%. RBC transfusion increased mean Hct from 19·1 ± 1·5% to 29·3 ± 2·0 and mean MOx from 67·9 ± 21·1% to 89·9 ± 9·8%. Among six transfusion episodes (in five patients) with initial Hct < 22, only three had a pre-transfusion MOx of <70%. Patients with the lowest pre-transfusion MOx had the largest increase in MOx after transfusion. CONCLUSIONS These preliminary data suggest that MOx may aid in making transfusion decisions when used in combination with Hct.

Abstract
Neurocritical care has two main objectives. Initially, the emphasis is on treatment of patients with acute damage to the central nervous system whether through infection, trauma, or hemorrhagic or ischemic stroke. Thereafter, attention shifts to the identification of secondary processes that may lead to further brain injury, including fever, seizures, and ischemia, among others. Multimodal monitoring is the concept of using various tools and data integration to understand brain physiology and guide therapeutic interventions to prevent secondary brain injury. This chapter will review the use of electroencephalography, intracranial pressure monitoring, brain tissue oxygenation, cerebral microdialysis and neurochemistry, near-infrared spectroscopy, and transcranial Doppler sonography as they relate to neuromonitoring in the critically ill. The concepts and design of each monitor, in addition to the patient population that may most benefit from each modality, will be discussed, along with the various tools that can be used together to guide individualized patient treatment options. Major clinical trials, observational studies, and their effect on clinical outcomes will be reviewed. The future of multimodal monitoring in the field of bioinformatics, clinical research, and device development will conclude the chapter.

Abstract
We present a multi-channel, multi-distance broadband near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) system with the capability of measuring changes in haemoglobin concentrations (Δ[HbO2], Δ[HHb]), oxidation state of cytochrome-c-oxidase (Δ[oxCCO]) and tissue oxygen saturation (TOI) in the adult human brain. The main components of the instrument are two customized spectrographs and two light sources. Each spectrograph is lens-based to improve light throughput, has a grating enhanced to optimise reflection in the near-infrared (NIR) spectral region and uses a front illuminated cooled CCD camera (-70° C) with a square chip dimension of 12.3 x 12.3 mm (512 x 512 pixels). Each light source uses a 50W halogen bulb with a gold plated mirror to increase the intensity of the NIR light. Each light source was connected to a custom-built bifurcated fibre bundle to create two source fibre bundles (3.2 mm diameter each). Each spectrograph received light input from another custom-built fibre bundle comprised of six individual bundles (one with 0.6 mm diameter and the other five with 1.5 mm diameter). All fibre bundles were fixed on a 3D printed optode holder (two light sources x two fibre bundles each = four probes; and two spectrographs x six fibre bundles each = 12 probes) that allowed 24 multi-distance channels across the forehead (six channels at 20 mm, three channels at 30 mm and 15 channels at 35 mm) and six TOI measurements. We demonstrated the use of the system in a cohort of nine healthy adult volunteers during prefrontal cortex functional activation using the Stroop task. We have observed functional responses identified as significant increase in Δ[HbO2], decrease in Δ[HHb] and increase in Δ[oxCCO] in five channels (out of 12), that overlay the left and right dorsolateral prefrontal cortices. There was no observable TOI functional response and we have shown small variations in TOI across different sites within the same subject and within the same site across subjects.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine whether preoperative regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) and the decrease in rSO2 during carotid clamping were predictive of the risk for neurologic complications in carotid endarterectomy and to determine the cutoff values of the studied parameters. DESIGN Cohort, prospective, nonrandomized trial. SETTING Research Institute of Circulation Pathology, Novosibirsk, Russia. PARTICIPANTS The study comprised 466 adults who underwent carotid endarterectomy since 2012. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Patient characteristics, postoperative complications, and brain oxygen supply during carotid endarterectomy were analyzed. The primary endpoints were the perioperative and early postoperative neurologic complications. Ischemic stroke was diagnosed in 1.5% of patients, and cognitive disorders were reported in 2.6% of patients. Preoperative rSO2 of 50% was the cutoff value for the prediction of stroke outcome after carotid endarterectomy, with a sensitivity of 90.7% and specificity of 66.7%. A 20% decrease in rSO2 during temporary carotid clamping was the cutoff value for the prediction of stroke, with a sensitivity of 86.0% and specificity of 57.1%, and for the prediction of cognitive disorders, with a sensitivity of 88.1% and specificity of 58.3%. Preoperative rSO2 less than 50% and a decrease in rSO2 of at least 20% during temporary carotid artery clamping caused a significant increase in the hospitalization period. CONCLUSIONS A 20% or more decrease in rSO2 during temporary internal carotid artery clamping during carotid endarterectomy caused a 10-fold increased risk of ischemic stroke and an 8-fold increased risk of cognitive disorders, whereas preoperative rSO2 less than 50% resulted in a 6-fold increased risk of ischemic stroke in the perioperative and early postoperative periods of carotid endarterectomy.

Abstract
Maintenance of adequate oxygenation is a mainstay of intensive care, however, recommendations on the safety, accuracy, and the potential clinical utility of invasive and non-invasive tools to monitor brain and systemic oxygenation in neurocritical care are lacking. A literature search was conducted for English language articles describing bedside brain and systemic oxygen monitoring in neurocritical care patients from 1980 to August 2013. Imaging techniques e.g., PET are not considered. A total of 281 studies were included, the majority described patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). All tools for oxygen monitoring are safe. Parenchymal brain oxygen (PbtO2) monitoring is accurate to detect brain hypoxia, and it is recommended to titrate individual targets of cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP), ventilator parameters (PaCO2, PaO2), and transfusion, and to manage intracranial hypertension, in combination with ICP monitoring. SjvO2 is less accurate than PbtO2. Given limited data, NIRS is not recommended at present for adult patients who require neurocritical care. Systemic monitoring of oxygen (PaO2, SaO2, SpO2) and CO2 (PaCO2, end-tidal CO2) is recommended in patients who require neurocritical care.

Abstract
Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is an emerging technique for measuring changes in cerebral hemoglobin concentration via optical absorption changes. Although there is great interest in using fNIRS to study brain connectivity, current methods are unable to infer the directionality of neuronal connections. In this paper, we apply Dynamic Causal Modelling (DCM) to fNIRS data. Specifically, we present a generative model of how observed fNIRS data are caused by interactions among hidden neuronal states. Inversion of this generative model, using an established Bayesian framework (variational Laplace), then enables inference about changes in directed connectivity at the neuronal level. Using experimental data acquired during motor imagery and motor execution tasks, we show that directed (i.e., effective) connectivity from the supplementary motor area to the primary motor cortex is negatively modulated by motor imagery, and this suppressive influence causes reduced activity in the primary motor cortex during motor imagery. These results are consistent with findings of previous functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies, suggesting that the proposed method enables one to infer directed interactions in the brain mediated by neuronal dynamics from measurements of optical density changes.

Abstract
PURPOSE To examine the risks of shoulder arthroscopy in the beach-chair position (BCP) as opposed to the lateral decubitus position. The challenge during general anesthesia, particularly with the patient in the BCP, has been to ascertain the lower limit of blood pressure autoregulation, correctly measure mean arterial pressure, and adequately adjust parameters to maintain cerebral perfusion. There is increasing concern about the BCP and its association with intraoperative cerebral desaturation events (CDEs). Assessment of CDEs intraoperatively remains difficult; the emerging technology near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) may provide noninvasive, inexpensive, and continuous assessment of cerebral perfusion, offering an "early warning" system before irreversible cerebral ischemia occurs. METHODS A systematic review was undertaken to determine the incidence of intraoperative CDEs as measured by NIRS and whether it is possible to risk stratify patients for intraoperative CDEs, specifically the degree of elevation in the BCP. RESULTS Searching Medline, Embase, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials from inception until December 30, 2013, we found 9 studies (N = 339) that met our search criteria. The Level of Evidence was III or IV. CONCLUSIONS There remains a paucity of high-level data. The mean incidence of CDEs was 28.8%. We found a strong positive correlation between CDEs and degree of elevation in the BCP (P = .056). Emerging evidence (Level IV) suggests that we may be able to stratify patients on the basis of age, history of hypertension and stroke, body mass index, diabetes mellitus, obstructive sleep apnea, and height. The challenge remains, however, in defining the degree and duration of cerebral desaturation, as measured by NIRS, required to produce measureable neurocognitive decline postoperatively. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level IV, systematic review of Level III and IV studies.

Abstract
The use of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has been increasingly adopted in cardiac surgery to measure regional cerebral oxygen saturation. This method takes advantage of the fact that light in the near-infrared spectrum penetrates tissue, including bone and muscle. Sensors are placed at fixed distances from a light emitter, and algorithms subtract superficial light absorption from deep absorption to provide an index of tissue oxygenation. Although the popularity of NIRS monitoring is growing, definitive data that prove outcome benefits with its use remain sparse. Therefore, widespread, routine use of NIRS as a standard-of-care monitor cannot be recommended at present. Recent investigations have focused on the use of NIRS in subgroups that may benefit from NIRS monitoring, such as pediatric patients. Furthermore, a novel application of processed NIRS information for monitoring cerebral autoregulation and tissue oxygenation (e.g., kidneys and the gut) is promising.

Abstract
Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a widely employed method for assessment of regional cerebral oxygenation (RcStO2). RcStO2 values are expected to vary with changes in the relative amount of oxyhaemoglobin. The present experimental study aimed to assess the response of RcStO2 to controlled alterations of carotid blood flow (CQ). Landrace pigs were anesthetized followed by surgical preparation. Cyclic variations in cardiac output were accomplished by intermittently occluding the main stem of the left coronary artery. A flow measurement probe for assessing CQ was placed around the left carotid artery. One NIRS probe was placed on the left ipsilateral forehead to assess regional cerebral oximetry. Simultaneous registration of CQ and RcStO2 was conducted. There was a strong correlation for variation in CQ and RcStO2 signal values. Based on coherence analysis the fraction of power of the RcStO2 that was coherent with the CQ signal reached 0.84 ± 0.12 (P < 0.05) for frequencies lower than 0.1 Hz. The agreement of the sample-to-sample co-variation, as assessed by the Pearson correlation coefficient, was 0.83 ± 0.08 (P < 0.05). One explanatory component for variations in cerebral oxygenation verified by NIRS should be attributed to variations in the cerebral blood flow.

Abstract
Measurement of intracranial pressure (ICP) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) is used to derive cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) and to guide targeted therapy of acute brain injury (ABI) during neurointensive care. Here we provide a narrative review of the evidence for ICP monitoring, CPP estimation, and ICP/CPP-guided therapy after ABI. Despite its widespread use, there is currently no class I evidence that ICP/CPP-guided therapy for any cerebral pathology improves outcomes; indeed some evidence suggests that it makes no difference, and some that it may worsen outcomes. Similarly, no class I evidence can currently advise the ideal CPP for any form of ABI. 'Optimal' CPP is likely patient-, time-, and pathology-specific. Further, CPP estimation requires correct referencing (at the level of the foramen of Monro as opposed to the level of the heart) for MAP measurement to avoid CPP over-estimation and adverse patient outcomes. Evidence is emerging for the role of other monitors of cerebral well-being that enable the clinician to employ an individualized multimodality monitoring approach in patients with ABI, and these are briefly reviewed. While acknowledging difficulties in conducting robust prospective randomized studies in this area, such high-quality evidence for the utility of ICP/CPP-directed therapy in ABI is urgently required. So, too, is the wider adoption of multimodality neuromonitoring to guide optimal management of ICP and CPP, and a greater understanding of the underlying pathophysiology of the different forms of ABI and what exactly the different monitoring tools used actually represent.

Abstract
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Despite encouraging animal research, pharmacological agents and neuroprotectants have disappointed in the clinical environment. Current TBI management therefore is directed towards identification, prevention, and treatment of secondary cerebral insults that are known to exacerbate outcome after injury. This strategy is based on a variety of monitoring techniques that include the neurological examination, imaging, laboratory analysis, and physiological monitoring of the brain and other organ systems used to guide therapeutic interventions. Recent clinical series suggest that TBI management informed by multimodality monitoring is associated with improved patient outcome, in part because care is provided in a patient-specific manner. In this review we discuss physiological monitoring of the brain after TBI and the emerging field of neurocritical care bioinformatics.

Abstract
High-risk surgery represents 12.5% of cases but contributes 80% of deaths in the elderly population. Reduction in morbidity and mortality by the use of intervention strategies could result in thousands of lives being saved and savings of up to £400m per annum in the UK. This has resulted in the drive towards goal-directed therapy and intraoperative flow optimization of high-risk surgical patients being advocated by authorities such as the National Institute of Health and Care Excellence and the Association of Anaesthetists of Great Britain and Ireland.Conventional intraoperative monitoring gives little insight into the profound physiological changes occurring as a result of anesthesia and surgery. The build-up of an oxygen debt is associated with a poor outcome and strategies have been developed in the postoperative period to improve outcomes by repayment of this debt. New monitoring technologies such as minimally invasive cardiac output, depth of anesthesia and cerebral oximetry can minimize oxygen debt build-up. This has the potential to reduce complications and lessen the need for postoperative optimization in high-dependency areas.Flow monitoring has thus emerged as essential during intraoperative monitoring in high-risk surgery. However, evidence suggests that current optimization strategies of deliberately increasing flow to meet predefined targets may not reduce mortality.Could the addition of depth of anesthesia and cerebral and tissue oximetry monitoring produce a further improvement in outcomes?Retrospective studies indicate a combination of excessive depth of anesthesia hypotension and low anesthesia requirement results in increased mortality and length of hospital stay.Near infrared technology allows assessment and maintenance of cerebral and tissue oxygenation, a strategy, which has been associated with improved outcomes. The suggestion that the brain is an index organ for tissue oxygenation, especially in the elderly, indicates a role for this technology in the intraoperative period to assess the adequacy of oxygen delivery and reduce the build-up of an oxygen debt.The aim of this article is to make the case for depth of anesthesia and cerebral oximetry alongside flow monitoring as a strategy for reducing oxygen debt during high-risk surgery and further improve outcomes in high-risk surgical patients.

Abstract
We have developed a method to make real-time, continuous, noninvasive measurements of muscle oxygenation (Mox) from the surface of the skin. A key development was measurement in both the visible and near infrared (NIR) regions. Measurement of both oxygenated and deoxygenated myoglobin and hemoglobin resulted in a more accurate measurement of Mox than could be achieved with measurement of only the deoxygenated components, as in traditional near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). Using the second derivative with respect to wavelength reduced the effects of scattering on the spectra and also made oxygenated and deoxygenated forms more distinguishable from each other. Selecting spectral bands where oxygenated and deoxygenated forms absorb filtered out noise and spectral features unrelated to Mox. NIR and visible bands were scaled relative to each other in order to correct for errors introduced by normalization. Multivariate Curve Resolution (MCR) was used to estimate Mox from spectra within each data set collected from healthy subjects. A Locally Weighted Regression (LWR) model was built from calibration set spectra and associated Mox values from 20 subjects using 2562 spectra. LWR and Partial Least Squares (PLS) allow accurate measurement of Mox despite variations in skin pigment or fat layer thickness in different subjects. The method estimated Mox in five healthy subjects with an RMSE of 5.4%.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Monitoring cerebral saturation is increasingly seen as an aid to management of patients in the operating room and in neurocritical care. How best to manipulate cerebral saturation is not fully known. We examined cerebral saturation with graded changes in carbon dioxide tension while isoxic and with graded changes in oxygen tension while isocapnic. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS The study was approved by the Research Ethics Board of the University Health Network at the University of Toronto. Thirteen studies were undertaken in healthy adults with cerebral oximetry by near infrared spectroscopy. End-tidal gas concentrations were manipulated using a model-based prospective end-tidal targeting device. End-tidal carbon dioxide was altered ±15 mmHg from baseline in 5 mmHg increments with isoxia (clamped at 110±4 mmHg). End-tidal oxygen was changed to 300, 400, 500, 80, 60 and 50 mmHg under isocapnia (37±2 mmHg). Twelve studies were completed. The end-tidal carbon dioxide versus cerebral saturation fit a linear relationship (R(2) = 0.92±0.06). The end-tidal oxygen versus cerebral saturation followed log-linear behaviour and best fit a hyperbolic relationship (R(2) = 0.85±0.10). Cerebral saturation was maximized in isoxia at end-tidal carbon dioxide of baseline +15 mmHg (77±3 percent). Cerebral saturation was minimal in isocapnia at an end-tidal oxygen tension of 50 mmHg (61±3 percent). The cerebral saturation during normoxic hypocapnia was equivalent to normocapnic hypoxia of 60 mmHg. CONCLUSIONS/SIGNIFICANCE Hypocapnia reduces cerebral saturation to an extent equivalent to moderate hypoxia.

Abstract
Ventricular tachycardia (VT) is a common but serious arrhythmia that significantly adds to the morbidity and mortality of patients with structural heart disease. Percutaneous catheter ablation has evolved to be standard therapy to prevent recurrent implantable cardioverter defibrillator shocks from VT in patients on antiarrhythmia medications. Procedural outcomes in patients with structural heart disease are often limited by haemodynamically unstable VT. Although substrate- and pace-mapping techniques have become increasingly popular for VT ablation, these approaches can often times may not address inducible clinical and non-clinical VTs. Activation and entrainment mapping can help the operator target VT exit sites in a precise fashion minimizing the amount of radiofrequency ablation needed for a successful ablation. An evolving alternative strategy that allows induction and mapping of VT in the setting of severe cardiomyopathy and haemodynamic instability is through maintaining perfusion with a percutaneous ventricular assist device (pVAD). This review will discuss these pVAD technologies, distinguish technical applications of use, highlight the published clinical experience, provide a clinical approach for support device selection, and discuss use of these technologies with current mapping and navigational systems.

Abstract
AIM To report our institutional experience with intraoperative jugular venous oximetry during pediatric intracranial surgery to guide anesthetic care. BACKGROUND The utility of intraoperative jugular venous oximetry in adults undergoing intracranial surgery is well known. However, there is a little information on its' application in children during intracranial surgery. METHODS After IRB approval, we examined patient, equipment, placement, and sampling characteristics for jugular bulb catheters in children aged <18 years who were monitored with jugular oximetry during elective intracranial surgery between 2006 and 2010. We also determined the prevalence of intraoperative cerebral desaturation (SjvO(2) < 55%), its causes, and the interventions based on jugular oximetry values. RESULTS Data from 19 children (10 males and nine females), aged 12 ± 1 years (range 7-17) who underwent craniotomy for arteriovenous malformation (AVM) resection (68%), tumor removal (21%), or aneurysm clipping (11%), were reviewed. We analyzed 88 coincident SjvO(2), PaCO(2), and mean arterial pressure data points. Eleven (58%) patients experienced at least one episode of cerebral desaturation. There were 25 (28%) episodes of cerebral desaturation, six of which we attributed to relative hypotension, four to hypocarbia, and 15 to a combination of both. There were no intraoperative or immediate postoperative (first 24 h) complications because of jugular oximetry. CONCLUSION Findings from this series indicate that (i) intraoperative jugular venous oximetry in children is feasible in experienced hands, (ii) cerebral desaturation detected by jugular oximetry is common during pediatric intracranial procedures, and (iii) monitoring jugular venous saturation can impact anesthetic interventions to optimize cerebral physiology.

Abstract
We report the use of a novel hybrid near-infrared spectrometer for the measurement of optical scattering, pathlength and chromophore concentration in critically ill patients with brain injury. Ten mechanically ventilated patients with acute brain injury were studied. In addition to standard neurointensive care monitoring, middle cerebral artery flow velocity, brain lactate-pyruvate ratio (LPR) and brain tissue oxygen tension were monitored. The patients were subjected to graded normobaric hyperoxia (NBH), with the inspired fraction of oxygen increased from baseline to 60% then 100%. NBH induced significant changes in the concentrations of oxyhaemoglobin, deoxyhaemoglobin and oxidised-reduced cytochrome c oxidase; these were accompanied by a corresponding reduction in brain LPR and increase in brain tissue oxygen tension. No significant change in optical scattering or pathlength was observed. These results suggest that the measurement of chromophore concentration in the injured brain is not confounded by changes in optical scattering or pathlength and that NBH induces an increase in cerebral aerobic metabolism.

Abstract
There is a need for real-time non-invasive, continuous monitoring of cerebral blood flow (CBF) during surgery, in intensive care units and clinical research. We investigated a new non-invasive hybrid technology employing ultrasound tagged near infrared spectroscopy (UT-NIRS) that may estimate changes in CBF using a cerebral blood flow index (CFI). Changes over time for UT-NIRS CFI and 133Xenon single photon emission computer tomography (133Xe-SPECT) CBF data were assessed in 10 healthy volunteers after an intravenous bolus of acetazolamide. UT-NIRS CFI was measured continuously and SPECT CBF was measured at baseline, 15 and 60 min after acetazolamide. We found significant changes over time in CFI by UT-NIRS and CBF by SPECT after acetazolamide (P ≤ 0.001). Post hoc tests showed a significant increase in CFI (P = 0.011) and SPECT CBF (P < 0.001) at 15 min after acetazolamide injection. There was a significant correlation between CFI and SPECT CBF values (r = 0.67 and P ≤ 0.033) at 15 min, but not at 60 min (P ≥ 0.777). UT-NIRS detected an increase in CFI following an acetazolamide bolus, which correlated with CBF measured with 133Xe-SPECT. This study demonstrates that UT-NIRS technology may be a promising new technique for non-invasive and real-time bedside CBF monitoring.

Abstract
Using transcranial near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to measure changes in the redox state of cerebral cytochrome c oxidase (Δ[oxCCO]) during functional activation in healthy adults is hampered by instrumentation and algorithm issues. This study reports the Δ[oxCCO] response measured in such a setting and investigates possible confounders of this measurement. Continuous frontal lobe NIRS measurements were collected from 11 healthy volunteers during a 6-minute anagram-solving task, using a hybrid optical spectrometer (pHOS) that combines multi-distance frequency and broadband components. Only data sets showing a hemodynamic response consistent with functional activation were interrogated for a Δ[oxCCO] response. Simultaneous systemic monitoring data were also available. Possible influences on the Δ[oxCCO] response were systematically investigated and there was no effect of: 1) wavelength range chosen for fitting the measured attenuation spectra; 2) constant or measured, with the pHOS in real-time, differential pathlength factor; 3) systemic hemodynamic changes during functional activation; 4) changes in optical scattering during functional activation. The Δ[oxCCO] response measured in the presence of functional activation was heterogeneous, with the majority of subjects showing significant increase in oxidation, but others having a decrease. We conclude that the heterogeneity in the Δ[oxCCO] response is physiological and not induced by confounding factors in the measurements.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Cerebral vasospasm resistant to medical management frequently requires intra-arterial spasmolysis. Angiographic resolution of vasospasm does not provide physiologic data on the adequacy of reperfusion. We recorded pre- and postspasmolysis PbO(2) data in the endovascular suite to determine whether this physiologic parameter could be used to determine when successful reperfusion was established. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eight patients with 10 Licox monitors and cerebral vasospasm underwent intra-arterial spasmolysis. Pre- and postspasmolytic PbO(2) was recorded for comparison. Other physiologic parameters, such as CPP, ICP, SaO(2), and Fio(2), were also recorded. RESULTS Mean prespasmolysis PbO(2) recordings were 35.2 and 27.3 for the mild-to-moderate and moderate-to-severe vasospasm group, respectively. Mean postspasmolysis PbO(2) increased to 40.3 and 38.4, respectively, which was statistically significant (P < .05) for both groups. In 100% of instances in the moderate-to-severe group and 83% of instances in mild-to-moderate group, the mean PbO(2) increased after spasmolysis and correlated with improvement in angiographic vasospasm. Other physiologic parameters, such as CPP, ICP, SaO(2), and Fio(2), did not show any statistically significant difference before and after spasmolysis. CONCLUSIONS PbO(2) monitoring provides the interventionalist with an objective physiologic parameter to determine adequate spasmolysis. Further investigation is needed to establish target PbO(2) rates indicative of adequate reperfusion, which can be used in the endovascular suite.

Abstract
Spontaneous oscillations in cerebral haemodynamics studied with near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), become impaired in several pathological conditions. We assessed the spectral characteristics of these oscillations in 20 patients with falciparum malaria admitted to Ispat General Hospital, Rourkela, India. Monitoring included continuous frontal lobe NIRS recordings within 24 h of admission (Day 0), together with single measurements of a number of clinical and chemical markers recorded on admission. Seven patients returned for follow-up measurements on recovery (FU). A 2,048 sampling-point segment of oxygenated haemoglobin concentration ([ΔHbO(2)]) data was subjected to Fourier analysis per patient, and power spectral density was derived over the very low frequency (VLF: 0.02-0.04 Hz), low frequency (LF: 0.04-0.15 Hz) and high frequency (HF: 0.15-0.4 Hz) bands. At Day 0, VLF spectral power was 21.1 ± 16.4, LF power 7.2 ± 4.6 and HF power 2.6 ± 5.0, with VLF power being statistically significantly higher than LF and HF (P < 0.005). VLF power tended to decrease in the severely ill patients and correlated negatively with heart rate (r = 0.57, P < 0.01), while LF power correlated positively with aural body temperature (r = 0.49, P < 0.05). In all but one of the patients who returned for FU measurements, VLF power increased after recovery. This may be related to autonomic dysfunction in severe malaria, a topic of little research to date. The present study demonstrated that application of NIRS in a resource-poor setting is feasible and has potential as a research tool.

Abstract
The history of pediatric anesthesia is fascinating in terms of how inventive anesthesiologists became over time to address the needs for advances in surgery. We have many pioneers and heroes. We hope you will enjoy this brief overview and that we have not left out any of the early contributors to our speciality. Obviously there is insufficient space to include everyone.
