We examined the utility of regional oxygen saturation (rSO2) measurement using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) for monitoring lower-limb blood flow and estimate the safe balloon occlusion/deflation ...

[Background] Recently, the patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest are increasing. It is very important to do chest compression continuously for the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). But ...

Introduction: Near infra-red spectroscopy (NIRS) monitoring of cerebral, splanchnic and renal ′regional oxygen saturation index′ (rSO2) after heart surgery in children is increasing in intensive care ...

Background Multi-centered studies in adults who were kept hypothermic as brain protective strategy after cardiac arrest and also in newborn babies with perinatal asphyxia have clearly demonstrated ...

Hypobaric hypoxic conditions encountered at high altitudes can significantly impact the physiological functions of human body. Therefore, accurate and real-time monitoring of physiological ...

Background: An increase in regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) levels during advanced life support in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is associated with return of ...

Background Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has emerged as a non-invasive technique to measure regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Previous studies ...

Cerebral deoxygenation is associated with various adverse systemic outcomes. We hypothesized, by using the brain as an index organ, that interventions to improve cerebral oxygenation would have ...
