Background Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is associated with vascular
endothelial dysfunction. The resultant microvascular reactivity can be assessed non …

Sepsis is associated with abnormalities of muscle tissue oxygenation and of microvascular
function. We investigated whether the technique of near-infrared spectroscopy can evaluate …

Objective: We conducted this observational study to investigate tissue oxygen saturation
during a vascular occlusion test in relationship with the condition of peripheral circulation …

Objective: To compare data gathered via four different types of vascular occlusion test (VOT)
by using near-infrared spectroscopy. The data may support a standardized method to …

Purpose The diagnosis of microvascular dysfunction remains challenging after cardiac
surgery. We hypothesized that peripheral near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) monitoring in …

Objective To measure muscle blood flow (Qtis) and oxygen consumption (VO 2 tis) in septic
and non-septic critically ill patients by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). Setting Surgical …

Background: Near-infrared spectroscopy of the thenar eminence (NIRSth) is a non-invasive
bedside method for assessing tissue oxygenation. The vascular occlusion test (VOT) with a …

Objective Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)-derived variables during a vascular occlusion
test (VOT) have recently been used to evaluate peripheral circulatory insufficiency in …

This study evaluated near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)-derived measurements in
hemodynamically stable patients with severe sepsis, as compared with similar …

Introduction Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) noninvasively measures peripheral tissue
oxygen saturation (StO 2). NIRS may be utilized along with a vascular occlusion test, in …
