Non-invasive Monitoring of Dynamic Cerebrovascular Autoregulation Using Near Infrared Spectroscopy and the Finometer Photoplethysmograph

摘要

Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) enables continuous monitoring of dynamic cerebrovascular autoregulation, but this methodology relies on invasive blood pressure monitoring (iABP). We evaluated the agreement between a NIRS based autoregulation index calculated from invasive blood pressure monitoring, and an entirely non-invasively derived autoregulation index from continuous non-invasive blood pressure monitoring (nABP) using the Finometer photoplethysmograph.
