Background: The monitoring of regional cerebral O-2 saturation (rSO(2)) with near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a noninvasive technique to measure tissue oxygenation in the brain. It may be an effective monitoring technique in the early diagnosis of pre-, intra-and post-operative insufficient oxygen supply to the brain in surgery for congenital heart diseases. In pediatric patients, a variety of clinical and laboratory parameters, including serum lactate and regional cerebral oxygen saturation, may be helpful in monitoring global tissue and cerebral oxygen delivery and consumption.
