TL;DRAbstract

The neurosurgical application was evaluated of a flow-directed oximetry thermodilution catheter for measurement of oxygen saturation in the jugular vein, which reflects cerebral blood flow (CBF). The catheter allows estimation of changes in CBF during carotid endarterectomy and therapeutically induced hypertension in the management of delayed vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage.
