Abstract: Objective To investigate the correlation between regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) value and the prognosis of comatose patients in the intensive care unit (ICU).Methods From January 2013 to September 2014, a total of 64 comatose patients admitted in the department of ICU were enrolled.The patients were divided into two groups : consciousness group (n =25) and coma group (n =39).The level of the Glasgow coma scale (GCS), APACHE Ⅱ score and Full Outline of UnResponsiveness score (FOUR) of patients were monitored.The rSO2 was measured by Somanetics INVOS 5100 monitor.Results The differences in levels of FOUR and GCS at admission and GCS at discharge between the two groups were statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).In the consciousness group, the levels of GCS、 FOUR and rSO2 were higher compared with the coma group (P ＜ 0.05).ROC curve analysis revealed that the areas under the curve of GCS, FOUR and rSO2 for predicting prognosis were 0.823 (0.718-0.928), 0.820 (0.728-0.912) and 0.924 (0.863-0.985) respectively.Conclusions The rSO2 was useful for estimating the prognosis of comatose patients in general ICU.
