Abstract:
Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is a common complication of the central nervous system after major surgery with anesthesia,which severely impairs patients' quality of life.Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is advantageous for its convenience,inexpensiveness,noninvasiveness,continuous operation and bedside monitoring.Routine monitoring of regional cerebral oxygen saturation has the potential of optimizing the anesthesia plan and reducing the incidence of POCD.The aim of this review is to describe the NIRS technology and its clinical application.
