Key result
Oxygen saturation values assessed by near-infrared spectrophotometry were higher in the supine position than the sitting position, while heart rate was higher in the sitting position (p=0.030).
Observational
Position may influence NIRS readings during anesthesia; leaves open whether position-adjusted thresholds are needed for cerebral oximetry.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: values of the brain, heart and liver tissue as assessed by NIRS in the supine and the sitting position. METHODS: values of the brain. RESULTS: ) did not differ between the two positions but the heart rate was higher in the sitting position (p = 0.030). CONCLUSIONS: values are higher in the supine than sitting position. Additionally, NIRS may be used to assess oxygenation of the heart and liver.

Τsaroucha et al. (2017) reported an observational. Supine position vs. Sitting position was evaluated on Oxygen saturation values of the brain, heart and liver tissue. Oxygen saturation values assessed by near-infrared spectrophotometry were higher in the supine position than the sitting position, while heart rate was higher in the sitting position (p=0.030).
