Open AccessImpact of clinicians’ behavior, an educational intervention with mandated blood pressure and the hypotension prediction index software on intraoperative hypotension: a mixed methods study
Intraoperative hypotension (IOH) is associated with adverse outcomes. We therefore explored beliefs regarding IOH and barriers to its treatment. Secondarily, we assessed if an educational intervention and mand...

Perioperative monitoring of the oxygen reserve: where do we stand?
The Oxygen Reserve Index (ORi) is an advanced plethysmography-derived variable that may help to quantify the degree of hyperoxia in patients receiving supplemental oxygen administration. ORi is a (relative) in...

Open AccessAgreement of somatic and renal near-infrared spectroscopy with reference blood samples during a controlled hypoxia sequence: a healthy volunteer study
Purpose: O3® Regional Oximetry (Masimo Corporation, California, USA) is validated for cerebral oximetry. We aimed to assess agreement of somatic and renal near-infrared spectroscopy with reference blood samples.

Open AccessComparison of renal region, cerebral and peripheral oxygenation for predicting postoperative renal impairment after CABG
Patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) are at risk of develo** postoperative renal impairment, amongst others caused by renal ischemia and hypoxia. Intra-operative monitoring of renal reg...

Open AccessWhat is new in microcirculation and tissue oxygenation monitoring?
Ensuring and maintaining adequate tissue oxygenation at the microcirculatory level might be considered the holy grail of optimal hemodynamic patient management. However, in clinical practice we usually focus o...

Open AccessDo alterations in pulmonary vascular tone result in changes in central blood volumes? An experimental study
The effects of selective pulmonary vascular tone alterations on cardiac preload have not been previously examined. Therefore, we evaluated whether changing pulmonary vascular tone either by hypoxia or the inha...

Open AccessTissue oxygenation as a target for goal-directed therapy in high-risk surgery: a pilot study
Tissue hypoperfusion occurs frequently during surgery and may contribute to postoperative organ dysfunction. There is a need for perioperative treatment protocols aiming at improving tissue oxygenation (StO2). We...

Open AccessHemodynamics and tissue oxygenation during balanced anesthesia with a high antinociceptive contribution: an observational study
In particular surgical conditions, a balanced anesthesia with a high-antinociceptive contribution is required. This may induce cardiovascular impairment and thus compromise tissue oxygenation. In this prospect...
