title: Detecting ischemic danger at the source.
abstract: Using near-infrared spectroscopy, the INVOS (In-Vivo Optical Spectroscopy) System provides real-time, site-specific cerebral/somatic measurements of de-oxygenated and oxygenated hemoglobin molecules within red blood cells through a noninvasive oximeter. Perioperative professionals can use the vital sign information monitored by this technology to detect and correct site-specific blood oxygenation issues that can lead to complications and poor outcomes.
