Brain Oxygenation During Prehospital Anesthesia: an Observational Study

Summary

Brain oxygenation of adult patients undergoing prehospital emergency anesthesia is monitored using noninvasive near-infrared spectroscopy. Patients are afterwards interviewed to define neurological outcome to measure quality of life. The purpose of this study is to reveal the risk factors of prehospital anesthesia related cerebral desaturation events (CDE) and to define the association between CDE and survival, neurological outcome or quality of life.
