How does it work: general concepts Near-InfraRed Spectroscopy (NIRS) and regional cerebral oxygenation (rSO2) Validation work Why it is helpful‌ Baseline values (normal v. abnormal) Clinical studies Clinical use of rSO2 A-Star Research


How it works‌


Real-time, non-invasive detection of regional tissue oxygen saturation using transillumination spectroscopy NIR light wavelengths (690-880 nm) nm have the unique ability to penetrate several centimeters into the tissue and thus can be used to measure regional tissue oxygen saturation (rSO2) First commercial cerebral oximetry device approval by FDA was May 1993 (INVOS 3100)


Regional O2 saturation (rSO2): 1.Provides a unique venous weighted measure of O2 balance at the gas exchange site 2.Reflects real-time changes in regional tissue perfusion adequacy 3.May precede changes in systemic parameters

Microcirculation ( vessels < 100 µm) contains half of the body’s blood volume.

Assumed percentage of venous blood is device specific & fixed (i.e. INVOS 75%)


Despite the relatively small volume of tissue being interrogated by NIRS cerebral oximetry (i.e. ~15 mm3) it may serve as an index organ reflecting the adequacy of tissue oxygenation throughout the entire body.

What exactly is being measured? Venous weighted (75%) oxy-Hb percent saturation in the microcirculation†Oxy-Hb in the venous circulation is back calculated from measuring both total Hb and deoxy-Hb †Blood flow need not be pulsatile (or even flowing at all) to obtain an accurate measurement 2010 Avery EG, White paper www.casecag.com

Several validation studies of NIRS rSO2 have been published using an array of comparative physiologic variables and all similarly conclude that although there is no index test to compare rSO2 values with, the observed data appears to reflect dynamics of regional cerebral oxygen balance. Of note, caution should be taken in extrapolating the results of validation studies †performed with the INVOS monitor to the other devices which claim to measure the same parameter because the internal processing algorithms and physical characteristics of the five FDA approved devices are all unique and key to the clinical data that they generate. â€

Few validation studies are published in the peer reviewed literature



Protecting the tissue oxygen balance in the brain, a highly metabolically active tissue, will likely protect the other bodily organs and thus provide general, but measurable clinical outcome improvements in patients monitored with this technology when an appropriate interventional algorithm is used


The noninvasive INVOS 5100C is intended for use as an adjunct monitor of regional hemoglobin oxygen saturation of blood in the brain or in other tissue beneath the sensor. It is intended for use in individuals greater than 2.5 kg at risk for reduced-flow or non-flow ischemic states. Its FDA clearance was based upon data generated from healthy subjects.



Normative rSO2 values are device specific. INVOS values: Healthy adults Healthy children Healthy neonates Adult w/CV disease Pedi w/CV disease

= 71 ± 6% = 71 ± 7% = 76 ± 8% = 67 ± 9% = 60 ± 12%

Abnormal values are not well defined but analysis of the literature suggests that values that deviate from normative values in patients undergoing CV surgery are associated with poor clinical outcomes. Abnormal values likely represent poor functional organ reserve in the cardiovascular and pulmonary systems.



Study Design: •Multicenter, prospective, blinded, randomized and controlled trial of 122 elderly, high risk general surgery (major abdominal†) patients – Subjects were expected >2 hour operation and were >65 YOA

Hypothesis: •rSO2 monitoring with active intervention during cerebral desaturations in elderly patients undergoing major abdominal surgery will reduce the potential exposure of the brain to inadequate oxygen supply

Anesth Analg. 2005;101(3):740-747

Conclusion: •Cerebral desaturations were common (~20% of patients) during major abdominal surgery in the elderly and reacting to these events prevented exposure of the brain to potential hypoxia. Effective treatment of these cerebral desaturations resulted in decreased PACU and Hospital LOS and less cognitive decline (as assessed by MMSE scores)

Control (electronic blinding)

Intervention


Goal for intervention group was to maintain INVOS rSO2 values above 75% of subject’s established room air baseline. The number of subjects experiencing cerebral desaturation was similar between the control and intervention groups.

Control Group n = 15 (23%) subjects With rSO2 Desaturation

Conclusions: There was close agreement between the INVOS and NIRO in response to major physiological change, although absolute values of (rSO2) and TOI were not identical. There was less agreement during baseline measurements or minimal physiologic change. Hence there does not appear to be any detectable benefit from the use of laser light sources and 2 additional wavelengths to determine tissue oxygen balance in various physiologic states J Clin Monit Computing 2002;17:385-91
