Key result
NIRS monitoring aids early detection to prevent prolonged cerebral ischemia during vascular ring repair.
Why the study?
Inadequacy of collateral cerebral circulation and regional cerebral ischemia during cardiac and vascular surgery may be detected by NIRS monitoring, but clinical application details are limited.
Does NIRS monitoring help prevent prolonged cerebral ischemia in pediatric patients undergoing vascular ring surgery?

Does NIRS monitoring help prevent prolonged cerebral ischemia in pediatric patients undergoing vascular ring surgery?
NIRS monitoring may be a useful tool for detecting regional cerebral ischemia and guiding timely intervention during pediatric vascular ring surgery.
May support NIRS for cerebral monitoring in pediatric vascular ring repair; hypothesis-generating pending prospective validation.
Regional cerebral oxygenation can be monitored using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). Inadequacy of collateral cerebral circulation and regional cerebral ischemia during cardiac and vascular surgery may be detected by the use of NIRS monitoring. We report a 2-year-old child who underwent surgical repair of vascular ring and subclavian reimplantation, where use of NIRS helped in early detection and timely intervention to prevent prolonged cerebral ischemia.
