Excerpt

Treatment of ischemic damage to organs and tissues by mechanical ventilation with a high content of oxygen in the inspired mixture (FiO2) can lead to oxidative stress and reperfusion of tissue alteration, which is particularly characteristic of infants with their characteristic low levels of antioxidant protection. From this perspective, there is optimal mode selection in mechanical ventilation and FiO2 of vital organs and tissue, namely in brain tissue, which was made possible through the use of transcranial cerebral oximetry (TCO). …
