Abstract
Cerebral and somatic regional oxygen saturation decrease after delayed sternal closure in children recovering from congenital cardiac surgery. These indices are in agreement with other physiologic indicators of cardiac performance, suggesting mild and transient hemodynamic compromise after sternal closure. Cerebral and somatic regional oxygen saturation monitoring might be a useful adjunct during delayed sternal closure.
