Name of journal: British journal of anaesthesiaAbstract: BACKGROUND: Devices utilizing near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy have been used to assess regional intracerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) during anaesthesia for a decade. The presence of wide differences among individuals reduces their applicability to steady-state measurements. Current devices may not adequately account for variations in skin pigmentation.CONCLUSIONS: AAs have a lower rSO2 than Caucs as measured by the INVOS 5100C cerebral oximeter. Reasonably, this could be attributed to attenuation of the NIR light by skin pigment. Despite this limitation, in both ethnic groups, lower preoperative rSO2 was predictive of greater operative mortality.Copyright � The Author 2014.

Pre-induction rSO2, clinical and operative features were compared.RESULTS: Clinical and operative details of these patients differed widely between the two populations.
