spectroscopy (NIRS) during cardiopulmonary bypass is widely used. We tested the …

Objective: To review past, present and future applications of near-infrared spectroscopy
(NIRS) in clinical neuroscience. Methods: The literature and personal experience of the …

BACKGROUND: Near-infrared spectroscopy is used during cardiac surgery to monitor the
adequacy of cerebral perfusion. In this systematic review, we evaluated available data for …

BACKGROUND: Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is used worldwide to monitor regional
cerebral oxygenation (rScO 2) during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Intervention protocols …

We describe the development and current applications of cerebral oximetry (based on near-
infrared reflectance spectroscopy) that can be used during cardiac and major vascular …

Objective The use of cerebral near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has become widespread in
cardiac surgery after research demonstrated an association between perioperative cerebral …

This review assessed whether near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is effective in detecting
cerebral desaturation during heart surgery. The authors concluded that NIRS is a promising …

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has potential as a non-invasive brain monitor in a wide
range of clinical scenarios. In the last decade, there has been a rapid expansion of clinical …

BACKGROUND.: Although selective cerebral perfusion (SCP) has been used for cerebral
protection in aortic arch operations, the appropriate perfusion conditions of SCP are unclear …

THE PAST DECADE has seen the emergence of cerebral oximetry, a noninvasive
technology based on near-infrared spectroscopic (NIRS) measurement of regional tissue …
