MULTIMODAL NEUROMONITORING IN CARDIAC SURGERY: FOCUS ON ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAPHY

Volume 35, Number 7 (2025)

Urtė Valūnaitė, Eva Nausevič, Judita Andrėjaitienė Abstract Neurological complications after cardiac surgery, ranging from temporary cognitive issues to severe strokes, are a major concern, especially for elderly patients. Many in­dividuals over 70 already have a history of neurological conditions, which increases their risk of complications and long-term effects. Serious neurological events, such as strokes, occur…

Near-infrared spectroscopy as an index of brain and tissue oxygenation

Volume 21, Number 5(77) (2011)

Alina Vilkė Abstract Summary Cerebral hypoxia is a major contributor to poor neurologic outcome in a variety of clinical cases but its detection remains problematic. Measurement of cerebral oxygenation is widely used to assess the balance between cerebral metabolic supply and demand although standard bedside methods of measuring cerebral oxygenation have significant limitations. Near-infrared spectroscopy…
