Does spatially resolved spectroscopy ( NIRO-300 ) agree with jugular bulb oxygen saturation in patients undergoing warm bypass surgery?
Our results demonstrate a lack of agreement between SjO2 and TOI for monitoring cerebral oxygenation during cardiac surgery. We conclude that the two methods are not interchangeable.
Aortic PWV is a powerful independent predictor of mortality in both diabetes and GTT population samples. In displacing SBP as a prognostic factor, aortic PWV is probably further along the causal pathway for arterial disease and may represent a useful integrated index of vascular status and hence cardiovascular risk.
