<h4>Background</h4>Since oxygen saturation from pulse oximetry (SpO<sub>2</sub>) and partial pressure of arterial oxygen (PaO<sub>2</sub>) are observed to improve immediately after surgical correction of cyanotic congenital heart disease (CHD), we postulate that cerebral (CrO<sub>2</sub>) and somatic (SrO<sub>2</sub>) oximetry also improves immediately post-correction. We aim to prospectively examine CrO<sub>2</sub> and SrO<sub>2</sub>, before, during, and after surgical correction as well as on ...[more]
