Abstract

The monitoring of cerebral oxygenation is a method that is not commonly integrated into the majority of existing emergency departments(ED), but it has attracted increasing attention, particularly in recent years. As the severity of ischemia escalates during cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR), the probability of both survival and favorable neurological outcomes diminishes. Therefore, the imperative development of methods to quantify the magnitude of ischemia, particularly cerebral ischemia, during resuscitation is critical for enhancing overall outcomes. Cerebral oximetry, using near-infrared spectroscopy, represents a noninvasive method for measuring brain oxygenation. The objective of this manuscript is to present an overview of the application of cerebral oximetry in the ED.
