Reassessment of a meta-analysis of intraoperative cerebral oximetry-based management studies

Combined cerebral and somatic near-infrared spectroscopy oximetry monitoring during liver surgery: an observational and non-interventional study

“…As shown by other authors, we observed an association with reduced baseline oximetry values, intraoperative desaturation and outcome. The impact of brain and somatic desaturation correction remains debatable [55][56][57][58]. The determination of the number of patients in which cerebral and somatic desaturation would occur in liver resection was undetermined and never reported.…”

In reply: Reassessment of a meta-analysis of intraoperative cerebral-oximetry-based management studies

“…To the Editor, In response to the letter by Davis and Saunders, 1 we carefully reviewed our article published earlier in the Journal. 2 First, on re-review of our original paper, we noted that we had mislabelled Figs 5 and 6 leading Davis and Saunders to mistakenly note that six articles were analyzed for postoperative delirium (POD) as shown erroneously in Fig.…”
