Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the usefulness of non-invasive monitoring techniques, specifically measuring cerebral oxygen saturation and serum biomarkers, to identify children at risk for neurological issues after heart surgery.
- In a group of 39 children who had heart surgery, it was found that 41% had abnormal neurological outcomes a year later, with those affected showing lower average cerebral oxygen levels during surgery.
- While the monitoring of cerebral oxygen levels may help predict neurological risks, serum biomarkers measured during and shortly after surgery did not show significant differences, suggesting more research is needed to explore their potential over longer periods.
