Background Advances in the treatment of pediatric congenital heart disease have increased survival rates. Despite efforts to prevent neurological injury, many patients suffer from impaired neurodevelopmental outcomes. Compromised cerebral autoregulation can increase the risk of brain injury following pediatric cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. Monitoring autoregulation and maintaining adequate cerebral blood flow can help prevent neurological injury. Aims Our objective was to evaluate autoregulation parameters and to define the optimal blood pressure as well as the lower and upper blood pressure limits of autoregulation. Methods Autoregulation was monitored prospectively in 36 infants after cardiopulmonary bypass surgery for congenital heart defects between January and December 2019. Autoregulation indices were calculated by correlating invasive arterial blood pressure, cortical oxygen saturation, and relative tissue hemoglobin levels with near‐infrared spectroscopy parameters. Results The mean patient age was 4.1 ± 2.8 months, and the mean patient weight was 5.2 ± 1.8 kg. Optimal mean arterial pressure could be identified in 88.9% of patients via the hemoglobin volume index and in 91.7% of patients via the cerebral oxygenation index, and a lower limit of autoregulation could be found in 66.7% and 63.9% of patients, respectively. No significant changes in autoregulation indices at the beginning or end of the monitoring period were observed. In 76.5% ± 11.1% and 83.8% ± 9.9% of the 8 and 16 h monitoring times, respectively, the mean blood pressure was inside the range of intact autoregulation (below in 21.5% ± 25.4% and 11.3% ± 16.5% and above in 8.7% ± 10.4% and 6.0% ± 11.0%, respectively). The mean optimal blood pressure was 57.4 ± 8.7 mmHg and 58.2 ± 7.9 mmHg and the mean lower limit of autoregulation was 48.8 ± 8.3 mmHg and 45.5 ± 6.7 mmHg when generated via the hemoglobin volume index and cerebral oxygenation index, respectively. Conclusions Postoperative noninvasive autoregulation monitoring after cardiac surgery in children can be reliably and safely performed using the hemoglobin volume index and cerebral oxygenation index and provides robust data. This monitoring can be used to identify individual hemodynamic targets to optimize autoregulation, which differs from those recommended in the literature. Further evaluation of this subject is needed.
