Asssessment of Tissue Viability in Acute Thermal Injuries Using Near Infrared Point Spectroscopy

Introduction: Currently, there are no objective techniques to assess burn depth. An early assessment of burn depth would enable accurate management decisions, which would improve patient outcomes. Near infrared (NIR) technology has shown promise as a non-invasive monitor of oxygenation and perfusion...
