The aim of this clinical study was to evaluate cerebral oximetry with near-infrared reflected spectroscopy (NIRS) as a monitoring system during carotid endarterectomy. The cross-clamping changes of cerebrovascular hemoglobin oxygen saturation (cereb. O2 satn.) were compared with data from a processed EEG analysis. Using the EEG as the gold standard we try to define a new shunt criterion based on near-infrared spectroscopy. 102 patients were studied. During cross-clamping the percentual decrease of cereb. O2 satn. was calculated. The relation between EEG and cereb. O2 satn. is described in terms of sensitivity and specificity, and is graphically shown in a Receiver Operator Characteristic (ROC) curve. At a cut-off value of 5% decrease or more for the cereb. O2 satn., a sensitivity of 100% was found. However, the specificity was only 44%. Higher cut-off values resulted in a gradual increase of the specificity at the expense of a significant decrease of the sensitivity. In conclusion, improved validation and calibration techniques are necessary before this technique may be used for relevant assessment of cerebral oxygenation during carotid surgery. In particular, in order to define a new shunt criterion, the focal aspect of this new technique is probably one of the limitations. |
