Near-infrared spectroscopy as an index of brain and tissue oxygenation
Alina Vilkė Abstract Summary Cerebral hypoxia is a major contributor to poor neurologic outcome in a variety of clinical cases but its detection remains problematic. Measurement of cerebral oxygenation is widely used to assess the balance between cerebral metabolic supply and demand although standard bedside methods of measuring cerebral oxygenation have significant limitations. Near-infrared spectroscopy…
