The Clinical Effects of Cerebral Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Monitoring (NIRS) Versus No Monitoring in Children and Adults: A Protocol for a Systematic Review With Meta-Analysis and Trial Sequential Analysis
Abstract:BackgroundMultiple clinical conditions are associated with cerebral hypoxia/ischaemia and thereby an increased risk of hypoxic-ischaemic brain injury. Cerebral near-infrared spectroscopy monitoring (NIRS) is a tool to monitor brain oxygenation and perfusion, and the clinical uptake of NIRS has expanded over recent years. Specifically, NIRS is used in the perioperative and neonatal, paediatric, and adult intensive care settings. However, the available literature suggests that clinical benefits and harms of cere… Show more
