Clinical application progress of regional oxygen saturation monitoring in perioperative period

摘要

Regional oxygen saturation (rSO2) is a new method to evaluate regional oxygen supply and demand balance by near-infrared spectroscopy. It has the advantages of noninvasive, continuous and sensitive, and has been successfully applied in clinical guidance. Regional oxygen saturation is usually referred to as regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rScO2) and regional tissue oxygen saturation (rStO2) depending on the site of monitoring. Initially, cerebral oxygen saturation monitoring has been used in cardiothoracic surgery and in non-cardiac surgery for elderly and critically ill patients. With the increase of clinical application, regional oxygen saturation is gradually extended to the determination of oxygen saturation in peripheral tissues, which is used to evaluate the relationship between peripheral tissue microcirculation function and the prognosis of patients. Timely detection of tissue ischemia and hypoxia and intervention can optimize the whole clinical treatment management, especially for major surgery and critically ill patients can reduce the incidence of complications during hospitalization, shorten hospitalization time, improve the prognosis of patients. This article will focus on the clinical application of cerebral oxygen saturation and tissue oxygen saturation in perioperative period.
