Spatially troscopy does not resolved spec-(NIRO-300) agree with jugular bulb oxygen saturation in patients undergoing warm bypass surgery Purpose: Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a promising noninvasive method for continuous monitoring of cerebral oxygenation during cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). This study was designed to study the agreement between tissue oxygen index (TO o measured by spatially resolved spectroscopy (NIRO-300) and jugular bulb oxygen saturation (SjO2) in patients undergoing warm coronary bypass surgery.Methods: Seventeen patients undergoing warm coronary artery bypass surgery were studied. NIRS was continuously monitored and was averaged before CPB, five, 20, 40, 60 min on CPB, five minutes before end of CPB and ten minutes after CPB to coincide with SjO 2 measurements. Bypass temperature was maintained at 34-37°C.Results: Bland and Altman analysis showed a bias (TOI-SjO2) of-6.7%, and wide limits of agreement (from 16% to -28%) between the two methods. In addition, mean TOI was lower than mean SjO~ during and after CPB. We observed a statistically significant correlation between arterial carbon dioxide and SjO 2 measurements (r 2 0.33; P 0.0003), but the former did not correlate with TOI values (r 2 0.001; P 0.7).Conclusion: Our results demonstrate a lack of agreement between SjO 2 and TOI for monitoring cerebral oxygenation during cardiac surgery. We conclude that the two methods are not interchangeable.
