Decoding the Onset of Intraoperative Normal Pressure Perfusion Breakthrough with Near-Infrared Spectroscopy and Jugular Venous Oxygen Saturation Catheter in a Case of Arteriovenous Malformation Surgery

Multimodal monitoring can be a useful tool to design an appropriate anesthesia technique in the intraoperative period during the surgical excision of an intracerebral arteriovenous malformation (AVM). Intraoperatively, hyperperfusion syndrome can be attributed to causes like insufficient blood pressure control, occlusion of venous drainage before complete resection of arterial feeders, or inadequate hemostatic control of distended capillaries receiving arterial flow. We would like to highlight the potential role of near-infrared spectroscopy and jugular venous oxygen saturation catheter in detection of intraoperative normal perfusion pressure breakthrough and take necessary measures to prevent further insult with the help of this case report.
