Figure 2From: Feasibility of absolute cerebral tissue oxygen saturation during cardiopulmonary resuscitationCerebral tissue oxygen saturation (SctO 2 (%)) (monitored with EQUANOX Advance™ technology) in a patient (patient 6) who collapsed at ER entrance. The sensor was applied after six minutes of CPR and two defibrillation attempts. SctO2 started at 50% and increased to 60%, right before ventricular fibrillation reoccurred (arrows). When ROSC was achieved, SctO2 increased immediately above 70%. CPR, cardiopulmonary resuscitation; ROSC, return of spontaneous circulation; VF, ventricular fibrillation.Back to article page
