Cerebral Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Monitoring as a Predictor for Postoperative Inadequate Emergence Following Anesthesia in Adult Cardiac Surgery Patients: Myth or Reality?

This article, titled "Cerebral Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Monitoring as a Predictor for Postoperative Inadequate Emergence Following Anesthesia in Adult Cardiac Surgery Patients: Myth or Reality?", explores the association between cerebral oxygen saturation decrease and inadequate emergence after cardiac surgery. The study included 309 patients over the age of 50 who underwent elective cardiac surgery. The results showed that patients with inadequate emergence had a longer duration of cerebral oxygen saturation reduction and ventilation. However, further research is needed to confirm these findings in a larger sample size. [Extracted from the article]
