To minimize the neurological complications following cardiovascular surgery, it is essential to prevent an occurrence of cerebrovascular embolism and to detect and solve cerebral malperfusion without delay in the operating theater. Although we have introduced near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) monitoring for the purpose of detecting cerebral malperfusion, no criterion has been available. We searched for this criterion by examining the relationship of sustained drop in the regional oxygen saturation (rSO2) of the frontal lobes to the occurrence of neurological events.
