OBJECTIVES: To evaluate jugular venous oxygen saturation (SjVO2), measured with a fiberoptic oximetry catheter, and brain tissue oxygen saturation, measured by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRSO2), as monitors of cerebral oxygenation during cardiopulmonary bypass surgery. DESIGN: Prospective, clinical study. SETTING: Operating room of a Veterans Administration Hospital. PATIENTS: Nineteen patients undergoing moderate hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass surgery. INTERVENTIONS: SjvO2 and NIRSO2 were monitored in the patients during the surgical procedure. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Moderate hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass surgery had two distinct cerebral hemodynamic phases. While the patients were hypothermic, SjvO2 averaged 80 +/- 7% and none of the patients had an increase in cerebral lactate production. During the rewarming period, however, reductions in SjvO2 to < 50% occurred in 16 (84%) patients and increased cerebral anaerobic metabolism developed in 11 (58%) patients. SjvO2 during rewarming was dependent on mean arterial pressure, with 60 mm Hg appearing to be a critical value. Two other factors appeared to also contribute to the jugular desaturation, a low hematocrit and a rapid warming time. The SjvO2 catheter had excellent performance during the surgery. The average difference between paired measurements of SjvO2 by the catheter and in blood samples was -0.4 +/- 4.25%, and the correlation between the two measurements was highly significant (r2 = .93; p < .001). The NIRSO2 trended with the SjvO2 in most patients (r2 = .63; p < .001). CONCLUSIONS: The study confirms other studies showing that jugular venous desaturation can occur during rewarming after cardiopulmonary bypass surgery. Presently, SjvO2 appears to be a better monitor of cerebral oxygenation than NIRSO2. However, NIRSO2 has promise as a noninvasive monitor of cerebral oxygenation if future developments allow more quantitative measurements of oxygen saturation.
