Cerebral Oxygen Saturation Measurement During Cardioversion Because of Atrial Fibrillation

NCT02378155 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 60

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a technique that measures regional cerebral oxygenation in a non-invasive manner. Through the use of near infrared light, the difference between oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin can be measured. By applying the Lambert-Beer law, a numeric result can be calculated.

Since atrial fibrillation (AF) has been linked with an increased risk for the development of neurocognitive deficits, a longer period of AF might be associated with a higher risk for neurocognitive deficits.

It is hypothesized that there is an increase in the regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) of patients with paroxysmal or persistent AF after successful cardioversion.
