Combining TCD with cerebral NIRS allows for the rapid identification of three different mechanisms of brain desaturation. An algorithm is proposed to help identify the origin of NIRS cerebral desaturation. Prospective clinical trials are needed to investigate potential benefits of multimodal brain monitoring and its impact on short and/or long-term clinical outcomes.
