DOI: 10.1080/01616412.2020.1790869
Abstract: ABSTRACT Background Correlation coefficients between blood pressure and cerebral oxygen saturation measured using near-infrared spectrometry may be used to derive the tissue oximetry index of cerebral autoregulation. Cerebral oxygen saturations demonstrate poor agreement between near-infrared… read more here.

1362 Early Experience on Flap Perfusion? Monitoring with Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Tissue Oximetry
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "British Journal of Surgery"
DOI: 10.1093/bjs/znab259.728
Abstract: Free flap reconstruction is a routine procedure with more than 99% success rates. Yet, vascular complications may occur leading to flap failure. Thus, early detection of vascular compromise is crucial for flap salvage. Vascular complications… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/sap.0000000000000999
Abstract: Background Postoperative free flap care has historically required intensive monitoring for 24 hours in an intensive care unit. Continuous monitoring with tissue oximetry has allowed earlier detection of vascular compromise, decreasing flap loss and improving… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/sap.0000000000003555
Abstract: BACKGROUND The goal of inpatient monitoring after microsurgical breast reconstruction is to detect vascular compromise before flap loss. Near-infrared tissue oximetry (NITO) is commonly used for this purpose, but recent reports challenge its specificity and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/1553350620942985
Abstract: Background. Postoperative monitoring of deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flaps for breast reconstruction using noninvasive tissue oximetry enables timely recognition of vascular compromise. This may limit ischemic tissue damage, minimizing postoperative morbidity and healthcare costs.… read more here.
