Does the degree of beach chair position during shoulder arthroscopy affect cerebral oxygenation? A prospective comparative study

Conclusions: No significant difference was noted in regional cerebral oxygen saturation between patients operated on in the beach chair position and those operated on in the semi-upright sitting position. A direct relation was noted between the decrease in mean arterial pressure and decrease in cerebral oxygen saturation.
