Photoplethysmography imaging algorithm for continuous monitoring of regional anesthesia

An efficient photoplethysmography imaging system and advanced algorithm for continuous monitoring of skin microcirculation was developed. The system comprises compact device and computer with software for visualizing of skin blood volume changes. The software is able to process high-resolution microcirculation amplitude maps in real-time. It was tested in clinical environment during the regional anesthesia procedures. The Eulerian-based method showed improved sensitivity and higher resolution of microcirculation maps.
