What is the potential benefit of using bifrontal cerebral oximetry for perioperative monitoring in CABG patients?
The use of bifrontal cerebral oximetry for perioperative monitoring in CABG patients has been suggested to help predict early perioperative cognitive decline, stroke, noncerebral complications, and ICU and hospital length of stay. Additionally, a patient's preoperative response to breathing oxygen for two minutes (ScO2 50%) may be an independent predictor of death at 30 days and one year after CABG.
