title: [Cerebral oximetry in pediatric anesthesiology].
abstract: A new method, spectroscopy in a spectrum approximating the infrared, was used in children during total anesthesia for evaluating the oxygen status and blood content of the brain. This method shows in the real time mode the content of total hemoglobin and its fractions oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin in brain tissue. Oxidative (RedOx) status of cerebral cell cytochrome oxidase was assessed. A total of 128 children aged 7 months to 14 years were observed throughout total anesthesia. The method is highly informative and can be used for monitoring the degree of oxygenation, tissue respiration, and blood filling of the brain during total anaesthesia in children and for evaluating the effects of various anesthetics on these parameters.
