Changes in cerebral oxygen saturation following prone positioning for orthopaedic surgery under general anaesthesia: a prospective observational stud…
2015
Prone positioning is often necessary in orthopaedic surgery. The prone position, however, may result in impaired cerebral venous drainage with a subsequent reduction in cerebral perfusion. As a consequence, cerebral hypoxia may occur with the potential for neurological impairment.We assessed the changes in cerebral oxygen saturation with near-infrared spectroscopy using two different monitors after positioning the patient from supine to prone.Prospective observational study.Primary Care University Hospital, from May 2010 to February 2011.Forty patients undergoing general anaesthetic procedures, of which 35 completed the investigation. Similar measurements were done in 35 volunteers, who wer…
Human cerebral microcirculation and oxygen saturation during propofol-induced reduction of bispectral index †
2011
† This study investigates the effects of propofol-induced changes in bispectral index (BIS) on cerebral microcirculation and oxygenation during craniotomies. † In 2 mm cerebral depth, an increase in propofol dosage resulted in increased oxygen saturation (srvO2 )w ithout reduction of capillary venous blood flow (rvCBF). † Difference in oxygen content (avDO2) and approximated cerebralmetabolicrateofoxygen (aCMRO2) decreased with an increase in propofol dosage in 2 mm cerebral depth. † Alterations in BIS showed no effect on rvCBF, srvO2 ,a nd haemoglobin amount (rvHb) or on avDO2 or aCMRO2 in 8 mm cerebral depth. † These findings suggest that the CBF/CMRO2 ratio is altered by propofol in a re…
Influence of Beach Chair Position on Cerebral Oxygen Saturation
2013
Although beach chair position (BCP) is frequently used for shoulder surgery, a potentially detrimental influence on cerebral oxygenation is discussed. Therefore, the present study investigated changes in regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2/StO2) during BCP comparing 2 different devices for near-infrared spectroscopy measurement.Data were collected in 35 patients undergoing shoulder surgery in BCP and compared with a control group of 35 awake volunteers. The rSO2/StO2 was assessed using INVOS and FORE-SIGHT monitors. Mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2), PeCO2, FiO2, end-tidal sevoflurane concentration, and rSO2/StO2 were measured before positioning, …
Cerebral oxygen saturation and cardiac output during anaesthesia in sitting position for neurosurgical procedures: a prospective observational study.
2016
Abstract Background Neurosurgical operations in the dorsal cranium often require the patient to be positioned in a sitting position. This can be associated with decreased cardiac output and cerebral hypoperfusion, and possibly, inadequate cerebral oxygenation. In the present study, cerebral oxygen saturation was measured during neurosurgery in the sitting position and correlated with cardiac output. Methods Perioperative cerebral oxygen saturation was measured continuously with two different monitors, INVOS® and FORE-SIGHT®. Cardiac output was measured at eight predefined time points using transoesophageal echocardiography. Results Forty patients were enrolled, but only 35 (20 female) were …
