Near-infrared spectroscopy for monitoring leg perfusion during minimally invasive surgery for patients with congenital heart defects
VL Vida, MA Padalino, G Boccuzzo... - The Journal of Thoracic ..., 2012 - AATS/WTSA... 1-5 Go We sought to evaluate the safety of peripheral arterial cannulation by using NIRS in
patients undergoing minimally invasive heart surgery for correcting simple congenital heart
diseases, focusing on patients with a body weight less than 30 kg. Patients. ...
Patients We evaluated 50 patients who underwent remote cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) by femoral cannulation for the correction of simple congenital heart defects between January 2009 and May 2011.1,2 The distal femoral artery had not been occluded in our patients and a distal selective arterial perfusion was not used.
NIRS (using the INVOS 5100 cerebral oximeter; Somanetics Corp, Troy, Mich) was used to continuously monitor any variation of oxygen saturation during the extracorporeal perfusion on both lower extremities (NIRS sensors are positioned on the anterior side). After the operation, creatine kinase (CK) and . . . [Full Text of this Article]
