INVOS™ Pocket Guide - Detection and Correction of Brain Oxygen Imbalance
Online
Overview
INVOS™ System technology gives you a noninvasive "window" to the body's microvasculature: a direct and dynamic site of gas exchange that transports about half of the body's blood volume. Measuring blood oxygenation in the microvasculature results in sensitive and site-specific insights on perfusion adequacy or - with multi-sensor monitoring - perfusion distribution across the brain and body. After reading this guide, clinicians should be able to:
Describe the link between regional cerebral oxygen balance and the INVOS™ parameter, regional oxygen saturation(rSO2)
Integrate brain rSO2 information with other physiologic and clinical data before, during, and after surgery
Identify special situations which can influence cerebral rSO2 monitoring
Discuss the clinical management and responding to cerebral rSO2 monitoring
