A feasibility study evaluating the role of cerebral oximetry in predicting return of spontaneous circulation in cardiac arrest

Cerebral oximetry and return of spontaneous circulation after cardiac arrest: A systematic review and meta-analysis

“…Of the nine findings included in the data for meta-analysis, five studies evaluated out-of-hospital CA (OHCA) patients only, 10,[17][18][19][20] other two studies included only patients presenting with inhospital CA (IHCA), 13,21 and two studies included both OHCA and IHCA populations. 9,22 Different devices have been used in these studies (Table 2).…”

Neurologically Intact Survival after Prolonged Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation for Pulseless Ventricular Tachycardia

“…The study also demonstrated that improvements in cardiopulmonary resuscitation quality lead to an increase in rSO 2 levels and better cerebral perfusion, and that the use of rSO 2 values as dynamic values during cardiac arrest may be a better marker of outcome. 12 Larger clinical trials are under way to evaluate the relationship of cerebral oximetry values with quality of chest compressions and with neurologic function at discharge during the post-cardiac arrest phase. Bottom right: Cerebral oxygen saturation as a function of time.…”

Abdominal oxygen saturation for monitoring return of spontaneous circulation in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest using near infrared spectrophometry

“…Increases in ScO 2 values in the right and left frontal regions between the start of CPR and ROSC were 48.77 ± 14.82 (P b .001) and 47.54 ± 14.26 (P b .001), respectively. The highest and lowest ScO 2 values in the right frontal region in patients in whom spontaneous circulation could 2 values in the right and left abdominal regions in patients with restored spontaneous circulation were 41.08 ± 9.69 (P b .001) and 42.62 ± 7.84 (P b .001). The highest and lowest rSO 2 values in the right abdominal region in patients without restored spontaneous circulation were 21.29 ± 6.43 and 21.57 ± 6.07, respectively.…”

“…Several studies have recently been performed on the practicability of nearinfrared spectrophotometry (NIRS) for assessing oxygenation of vital organs such as the brain after cardiac arrest (CA) [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. The majority of these have suggested that cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) affects elevated cerebral saturation during resuscitation and can be used to predict ROSC.…”
