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 …

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 …

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 …

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 (NIRS) is a noninvasive technology that continuously monitors
regional tissue oxygenation. Originally used for assessment of oxygen saturation of the …

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

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 …

Despite significant advances in intensive care medicine, the management of brain injured
patients has been hampered by the inability of clinicians to observe real-time changes in …

Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) measures tissue oxygenation continuously at the
bedside. Major disturbances of cerebral oxygenation can be detected by using NIRS, but the …

Objectives: Near-infrared spectrophotometry (NIRS) is a promising method for non-invasive
monitoring of cerebral oxygenation and hemodynamics. This paper reviews studies in which …
