Abstract:Rationale: Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a noninvasive bedside tool for monitoring regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO 2 ). The sinus conversion of atrial fibrillation (AF) was shown to be responsible for increasing rSO 2 . However, the reason for this improvement has not yet been clearly explained.Patient concerns: We report the case of a 73-year-old woman who underwent cardioversion during an off-pump coronary artery bypass under NIRS and live hemodynamic monitoring.Interventions: Unlike previous… Show more
