Why the study?
Does carotid clamping and shunting significantly alter regional cerebral oxygen saturation measured by cerebral oximetry during carotid endarterectomy?
Does carotid clamping and shunting significantly alter regional cerebral oxygen saturation measured by cerebral oximetry during carotid endarterectomy?
Cerebral oximetry effectively detects significant changes in regional cerebral oxygen saturation during carotid clamping and shunting, demonstrating that symptomatic patients experience greater desaturation during clamping.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Cerebral oximetry may detect clamping-related desaturation during CEA; hypothesis-generating for symptomatic patients and requires prospective outcome trials.
Cuadra et al. (2003) studied this question.
