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

This review celebrates the 30th anniversary of the first in vivo near-infrared (NIR)
spectroscopy (NIRS) publication, which was authored by Professor Frans Jöbsis. At first …

Background Cerebral oxygen desaturation during cardiac surgery has been associated with
adverse perioperative outcomes. Before a large multicenter randomized controlled trial …

Background The current study was designed to determine the relation between preoperative
cerebral oxygen saturation (Sco2), variables of cardiopulmonary function, mortality, and …

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 …

Introduction Postoperative delirium is an important problem in patients undergoing major
surgery. Cerebral oximetry is a non-invasive method to detect imbalances in the cerebral …

Background Cognitive dysfunction is a frequent complication after cardiac surgery and has
been found to be associated with decreases in cerebral oxygen saturation measured with …

OBJECTIVE. To determine the value of regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSo2), fractional
cerebral tissue oxygen extraction (FTOE) measured by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) …

Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing hemodialysis are known to suffer
cognitive deficits and stroke of unknown etiology. It has been suspected that the treatment …

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is widely used to monitor tissue oxygenation in the
pediatric cardiac surgical population. Clinicians who use NIRS must understand the …
