Abstract
Background: Little is known about the effects of carbon dioxide (CO2) insufflation on cerebral oxygenation during thoracoscopy in neonates. Near-infrared spectroscopy can measure perioperative brain oxygenation [regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rScO2)]. Aims: To evaluate the effects of CO2 insufflation on rScO2 during thoracoscopic esophageal atresia (EA) repair. Methods: This is
