    Children with congenital heart disease often require surgical repair supported by cardiopulmonary bypass, which can lead to neurological injury.

  • 2

    Near-infrared spectroscopy provides noninvasive, real-time monitoring of regional cerebral oxygen saturation during pediatric cardiac surgery.

  • 3

    Postoperative cerebral oxygenation levels and desaturation burden may correlate with adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes in children.

  • 4

    Cerebral oxygenation abnormalities during surgery are linked to factors such as hemodynamic disturbance, oxidative stress, and inflammation.

  • 5

    Standardized metrics and multimodal monitoring strategies are needed to improve the interpretation of cerebral oxygenation data in clinical practice.
