Excerpt

The crucial role of the microcirculation for improved neurological outcome in patients after successful resuscitation has been discussed for many years. Near-infrared spectroscopy has been proposed as a non-invasive tool to measure continuously the haemoglobin saturation in the terminal vascularisation within the tissues (StO₂) of thenar eminence and to detect microvascular dysfunction by performing a vascular occlusion test (VOT). This study's purpose was to explore the alteration in microcirculation in patients after successful resuscitation. …
