We summarize the available in vivo validation of cerebral near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)
oximetry to inform future in vivo validation strategies. In particular, to establish a way forward …

Neurological complications during critical illness remain a frequent cause of morbidity and
mortality. To date, monitors of cerebral function including electroencephalography, jugular …

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

Over the past few years, the use of non-invasive neuromonitoring in non-brain injured
patients has increased, as a result of the recognition that many of these patients are at risk of …

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is an emerging noninvasive monitoring modality based
on chromophore absorption of infrared light. There are four different types of NIRS system …

In the early 1960s, Norris introduced near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy (700–2500 nm) as an
analytical technique for agricultural products. In 1977, Jöbsis founded in vivo medical NIR …

Background and Purpose—To date, the clinical application of near infrared spectroscopy in
the adult brain has been limited. The NIRO 300 (Hamamatsu Photonics) provides a …

Cerebral near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has long represented an exciting prospect for
the noninvasive monitoring of cerebral tissue oxygenation and perfusion in the context of …

Cerebral and somatic near-infrared spectroscopy monitors are commonly used to detect
tissue oxygenation in various circumstances. This form of monitoring is based on tissue …
