Abstract
Near–infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is non-invasive new technique for monitoring intracerebral oxygen saturation. It is a reliable indicator of peripheral cortical perfusion and provides continuous and non-invasive monitoring of intracerebral oxygen saturation.
Cerebral oximetry has been studied for more than 30 years, and has been commercially available to clinicians for more than 2 decades . However, whereas pulse oximetry has been a standard of care for decades, only recently has cerebral oximetry been extensively studied and adapted to investigate changes in oxygen delivery to the brain and how the monitor may be used as a “first alert” of impending organ dysfunction.
