Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a powerful noninvasive tool with which to study the
matching of oxygen delivery to oxygen utilization and the number of new publications …

There has been a significant increase in the use of short-term percutaneous ventricular
assist devices (pVADs) as acute circulatory support in cardiogenic shock and to provide …

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

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

Background Cerebral oximetry is a noninvasive technology using near-infrared
spectroscopy (NIRS) to estimate regional cerebral oxygen saturation. Although NIRS …

This article reviews the basic principles of frequency-domain near-infrared spectroscopy (FD-

Background: Currently, reliable reference values of regional cerebral oxygen saturation
(rScO 2) for different gestational age (GA) groups are lacking, which hampers the …

The management of congenital heart disease has changed dramatically over the last 15
years and continues to evolve at a rapid pace. More than ever before contemporary practice …

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 …
