Cerebral Oximetry as a Real-Time Monitoring Tool to Assess Quality of In-Hospital Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Post Cardiac Arrest Care

摘要

BackgroundRegional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) as assessed by near infrared frontal cerebral spectroscopy decreases in circulatory arrest and increases with high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation. We hypothesized that higher rSO2 during cardiopulmonary resuscitation and after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) would predict survival to discharge and neurological recovery.
