• Research summary

  This research uses a non-invasive monitor called a Cerebral oximeter which via technology called Near Infra-Red Spectroscopy (NIRS), can measure brain oxygenation levels.We are interested to see if during the application of a common surgical technique(Pringle manoeuvre) there is any change in brain oxygen levels. The Pringle manoeuvre is a surgical technique used to reduce blood loss during liver resection, by interrupting liver blood flow, and is used intermittently during the operation. The data from this monitor will be analysed alongside data stored on a monitor we currently routinely use in addition in these cases (LiDCO - Cardiac output monitoring).
