Background Various techniques have been employed for the early detection of perioperative
cerebral ischaemia and hypoxia. Cerebral near‐infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is increasingly …

Surgery and anaesthesia subject the brain to considerable stress in the peri‐operative
period. This may be caused by potentially neurotoxic anaesthetic drugs, impaired cerebral …

Background Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has been utilized widely in anesthesia and
intensive care to monitor regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rScO2). A normal oxygenation …

Cerebral complications are common in perioperative settings even in non-neurosurgical
procedures. These include postoperative cognitive dysfunction or delirium as well as …

Optical measurement methods are widely employed in both industrial and medical fields for
two reasons: they are non-invasive and they have a high resolution. Among the various …

Monitoring regional cerebral oxygen saturation throughout the perioperative clinical process
is important for successful patient outcomes. Cerebral oximeters based on near-infrared …

Regional cerebral oximetry using near-infrared spectroscopy devices is commonly used for
detecting cerebral ischemia during cardiopulmonary bypass, and aim to avoid poor cerebral …

Patient positioning is one of the milestones of neurological surgery, which significantly
affects the surgical outcome and requires a multidisciplinary approach. Several positions are …

Most currently available wearable devices to noninvasively detect hypoxia use the spatially
resolved spectroscopy (SRS) method to calculate cerebral tissue oxygen saturation (StO2) …

Seit über 4 Jahrzehnten ist die Nahinfrarotspektroskopie (NIRS) in Forschung und klinischer
Praxis verfügbar. Zuletzt gab es zahlreiche Veröffentlichungen und wesentliche …
