To continuously and noninvasively monitor the cerebral tissue oxygen saturation (StO
2 ) and hemoglobin concentration (gasHb) in cardiac surgery patients, a method combining the use of a cerebral tissue oximeter using near infrared time-resolved spectroscopy (tNIRS-1) and the bispectral index (BIS) was developed in this study. Moreover, the correlation between the estimated hemoglobin concentration (estHb), measured via tNIRS-1, and the hemoglobin concentration (gasHb), analyzed using a blood gas analyzer, were compared. The relationship between the BIS and gasHb was also examined. Through the comparison of BIS and StO2 (r1), and estHb and gasHb (r2), the correlation between the two was clarified with maximum r1 and r2 values of 0.617 and 0.946, respectively. The relationship between BIS and gasHb (r3), showed that there was a favorable correlation with a maximum r3 value of 0.969. There was also a continuous correlation between BIS and StO2 in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. In addition, a strong correlation was found between estHb and gasHb, and between BIS and gasHb. It was therefore concluded that the combined use of BIS and tNIRS-1 is useful to evaluate cerebral hypoxia, allowing for quick response to cerebral hypoxia and reduction of hemoglobin concentration during the operation.
