Background: Measurements of cerebral haemoglobin oxygenation of 2 near-infrared spectroscopy devices (INVOS 3100 and NIRO 500) were compared during and after hypocapnia.
Methods: Fifteen awake, healthy volunteers, who hyperventilated to obtain end-tidal CO2 (EtCO2) values of approximately 20 mmHg, were studied. During hyperventilation and 8 min thereafter, EtCO2, INVOS 3100 (RSO2 = regional cerebral oxygenation) and NIRO 500 recordings (HbO2 = oxyhaemoglobin, Hb = deoxyhaemoglobin, Hb-diff = HbO2-Hb, CtO2 = oxidised cytochrome oxidase aa3) were analysed.
Results: Hyperventilation induced a significant decline in EtCO2 from 30.5 to 14.7 mmHg (P < 0.001) and RSO2 from 67.1% to 62.7% (P = 0.025). At hypocapnia, only Hb (+1.61 +/- 0.48 mumol/L; P < 0.001) and Hb-diff (-3.01 +/- 2.0 mumol/L; P < 0.001) indicated a decline in cerebral haemoglobin oxygenation. Within 8 min after hyperventilation, both EtCO2 and RSO2 normalised to values insignificantly different from baseline. In contrast, Hb and Hb-diff remained significantly different (Hb: +2.52 +/- 1.28 mumol/l; P < 0.001, Hb-diff: -4.31 +/- 4.0 mumol/L; P < 0.001). A correlation with EtCO2 was found for RSO2 (R = 0.35; P < 0.001) and CtO2 (R = 0.42; P < 0.001). All volunteers were continuously awake and none presented clinical symptoms of cerebral hypoxia.
Conclusion: Changes in cerebral haemoglobin oxygenation state were reflected more accurately by INVOS 3100 than NIRO 500. The cause may be the different technology of the monitors, since INVOS 3100 eliminates the contribution of extracranial oxygenation.

Purpose: Indications for the surgical treatment of elderly patients have been increasing. Postoperative central nervous system dysfunction, including delirium, is one of the most common complications in elderly surgical patients. The relationship between patient factors, including cerebral oxygen saturation, and the incidence of postoperative delirium was evaluated.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate regional oxygenation, glucose metabolism and electrolytic balance of the brain in patients with an atherosclerotic lesion of the carotid arteries in the perioperative period. A total of 42 patients presenting with various combinations and degree of manifestation of occlusive-and-stenotic damages to the brachiocephalic arteries were examined. Regional oxygenation of the brain (rS02) was assessed using the unit INVOS 3100 (Somanetics Corp.

We report a case treated successfully by emergency carotid endarterectomy (CEA) for progressing stroke resulting from pseudo-occlusion of the internal carotid artery (ICA). A 67-year-old male was admitted to our hospital with dysarthria. Neurological examination on admission revealed mild left-sided motor weakness and dysarthria.

Background: Stroke is an important contributor to perioperative morbidity and mortality associated with carotid endarterectomy (CEA). This investigation was designed to compare the performance of the INVOS-3100 cerebral oximeter to neurologic function, as a means of detecting cerebral ischemia induced by carotid cross-clamping, in patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy with cervical plexus block.
Methods: Ninety-nine patients undergoing 100 CEAs with regional anesthesia (deep or superficial cervical plexus block) were studied.
A total of 144 neurosurgical interventions were performed in 138 patients with cerebrovascular diseases (arterial aneurysms in the acute and cold periods after a subarachnoidal hemorrhage, arteriovenous malformations, and carotid-cavernous anastomoses). Intraoperative monitoring of regional saturation of hemoglobin with oxygen in the blood flowing in brain vessels was carried out by a cerebral oximeter INVOS 3100 for early intraoperative diagnosis of cerebral ischemia. This paper analyzes factors affecting changes in rSO2 parameter during surgery and discusses the prognostic significance of the detected shifts.
