The serial change in the cerebral regional oxygen saturation of a 74-year-old male patient during ICU treatment after the ROSC. When we started cerebral rSO2 measurement in this patient, the cerebral rSO2 value was 66%; it gradually fell to 57% after 12 min. His neurological outcome was good. We think that the ROSC led to the recovery of the cerebral blood flow, and because the oxygen consumption of patients with a good neurological outcome might increase, the cerebral rSO2 value can be expected to decrease.
