  • Continuous, noninvasive, and localized microvascular tissue oximetry using visible light spectroscopy.

    Benaron DA, Parachikov IH, Friedland S, Soetikno R, Brock-Utne J, van der Starre PJ, Nezhat C, Terris MK, Maxim PG, Carson JJ, Razavi MK, Gladstone HB, Fincher EF, Hsu CP, Clark FL, Cheong WF, Duckworth JL, Stevenson DK. Anesthesiology. 2004; 100 (6): 1469-75

    The authors evaluated the ability of visible light spectroscopy (VLS) oximetry to detect hypoxemia and ischemia in human and animal subjects. Unlike near-infrared spectroscopy or pulse oximetry (SpO2), VLS tissue oximetry uses shallow-penetrating visible light to measure microvascular hemoglobin oxygen saturation (StO2) in small, thin tissue volumes.
