The role of diffuse correlation spectroscopy and frequency-domain near-infrared spectroscopy in monitoring cerebral hemodynamics during hypothermic circulatory arrestsCentral Messa... by Alexander I. Zavriyev, BS, Kutlu Kaya, MS, Parisa Farzam, PhD, Parya Y. Farzam, BS, John Sunwoo, PhD, Arminder S. Jassar, MBBS, Thoralf M. Sundt, MD, Stefan A. Carp, PhD, Maria Angela Franceschini, PhD, Jason Z. Qu, MD

“…Objectives: Real-time noninvasive monitoring of cerebral blood flow (CBF) during surgery is key to reducing mortality rates associated with adult cardiac surgeries requiring hypothermic circulatory arrest (HCA). We explored a method to monitor cerebral blood flow during different brain protection techniques using diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS), a noninvasive optical technique which, combined with frequency-domain near-infrared spectroscopy (FDNIRS), also provides a measure of oxygen metabolism. …”
