Cerebral Oxygenation Changes Observed In Patients Undergoing Spinal Neurosurgery in Prone Position Using Near Infrared Spectroscopy

Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) devices like cerebral oximeters have lately gained their actuality in different fields of medicine. Used intraoperative they can early detect harmful event and gives a possibility to avoid from further brain damage. The goal of study was to determine whether prone position during spinal neurosurgery impacts cerebral oxygen saturation using NIRS.publishersversionPeer reviewe
