Abstract Objectives: We investigated whether the selective cerebral perfusion (SCP) technique causes differences in changes in cerebral perfusion between both hemispheres in young infants, using cerebral oxygen saturation (ScO2) as an index. Further, we determined the association between the discrepancy in ScO2 and cerebral perfusion pressure during SCP. Methods: The difference in ScO2 between the left and right cerebral hemispheres (ΔScO2 Rt-Lt) was calculated during clamping of the innominate artery (IA) and during SCP. Results: In 25 infants (aged 2 to 78 days), the left and right ScO2 were well maintained (median 63.2% and 60.9% during IA clamping, respectively; 64.0%… More >
