Regional oxygen saturation trends from cerebral NIRS & acute brain injury in VA #ECMO: according to the results of this study, greater mean rSO2 asymmetry & longer duration of cerebral desaturation associated with ABI in adults VA #ECLS.
-> mean rSO2 asymmetry >8% significantly associated with ABI
-> 10 consecutive h of >10% asymmetry & <40% rSO2 significantly associated with ABI
Closely following cNIRS trends may allow early interventions in this population. https://bit.ly/45AsR3g
