Cerebral hypoxia may occur during surgery but currently used cerebral oxygenation saturation (rSO2) monitors remain controversial with respect to improving clinical outcome. Novel neuroprotein biomarkers are potentially released into systemic circulation and combined with near‐infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) could clarify the presence of per‐operative cerebral hypoxia. We investigated changes to serum‐neuroprotein concentrations post‐surgically, paired with NIRS and cognitive outcome, in patients operated in the beach chair position (BCP).
