Near-Infrared Spectroscopic (NIRS) Tissue Oxygen Saturation and the Vascular Occlusion Test in Cardiac Surgery Patients

Vascular Occlusion Test Clinical Trial

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Tissue oxygen saturation (StO2) and its recovery during a vascular occlusion test (VOT) will be measured in elective cardiac surgery patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass using a non-invasive near infrared spectrometry (NIRS) machine. The purpose of this study is to determine whether changes in VOT measurements occur in patients during cardiac surgery.
