Episode 1: Exploring cerebral oximetry in high risk surgical patients

In this first episode of She and He: 2 Voices in Anesthesia, Sarah Collins and James Carter discuss the use of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) for cerebral oximetry in high-risk surgical patients. Drawing on insights from Navarro-Perez et al. (2024), they explore how NIRS helps monitor brain oxygenation in cardiac and noncardiac surgeries and its role in preventing postoperative cognitive dysfunction. Tune in to learn about a new algorithm for managing cerebral desaturation and its impact on patient outcomes.
