The technology of transcranial near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) for the measurement of
cerebral oxygen balance was introduced 25 years ago. Until very recently, there has been …

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a technique that can be used as a noninvasive and
continuous monitor of the balance between cerebral oxygen delivery and consumption. The …

Cerebral oximetry based on near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is increasingly used during
the perioperative period of cardiovascular operations. It is a noninvasive technology that can …

THE USE OF NEAR-INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY (NIRS) has increased significantly
worldwide in the past decade. This technology, first described more than 40 years ago, is …

In conclusion, NIRS appears to offer both a new monitoring modality and new information
about cerebral oxygenation. Technical problems in the application of this technology persist …

Near-infrared spectroscopy monitoring provides a practical method to follow trends in
superficial cerebral cortex oxygenation during and after cardiovascular surgery …

The use of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has been increasingly adopted in cardiac
surgery to measure regional cerebral oxygen saturation. This method takes advantage of the …

Some neurological complications following surgery have been related to a mismatch in
cerebral oxygen supply and demand that may either lead to more subtle changes of brain …

Continuous real-time monitoring of the adequacy of cerebral perfusion can provide
important therapeutic information in a variety of clinical settings. The current clinical …

Neuropsychological and neurological deficits are still major causes of mortality and
