Comparison of Bilateral Cerebro-Renal Tissue Oxygenations in Healthy Children.

There are no right and left side differences in ctSO2 and rtSO2 values in otherwise healthy children. On the other hand, there seem to be differences between cerebral and renal regions with a significant age effect. Acknowledging its limitations, this study sheds light on laterality and cranial and renal NIRS measurements in otherwise healthy children, and may contribute to the interpretation of NIRS data in critically ill patients.
