Near-infrared Measurement of Cerebral Oxygenation: Correlation with Electroencephalographic Ischemia during Ventricular Fibrillation

Background The application of phase-modulated near-infrared techniques for measurement of the oxygen saturation of cerebral tissue requires both validation by conventional measures of cerebral oxygenation and determination of normal and abnormal values. This study was undertaken to validate phase-modulated near-infrared measurements of cerebral oxygen saturation by comparing them with electroencephalographic evidence of cerebral ischemia during implantation of cardioverting defibrillators. This comparison also yields an estimate of the ischemic threshold as measured with near-infrared techniques.
