Background Abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) occurs when intra-abdominal
pressure is abnormally high in association with organ dysfunction. It tends to have a poor …

Clinicians now realize the limitations of the physical examination in detecting compensated
shock states, the severity of uncompensated states, and in determining the adequacy of …

Background: Intra‐abdominal hypertension has been recognized as a source of morbidity
and mortality in the traumatized patient following laparotomy. Multiple organ dysfunction …

Background: Our recent experimental study showed that peripheral muscle tissue oxygen
saturation (StO 2), determined noninvasively by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), was …

Background. Diagnosis of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in preterm neonates is
challenging. We hypothesized that regional splanchnic oxygen saturation (rsSO2) measured …

A method and system for continually monitoring oxygenation levels in real-time in
compartments of an animal limb, such as in a human leg or a human thigh or a forearm, can …

Objective. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a promising non-invasive technique for the
continuous monitoring of tissue oxygen delivery. NIRS detects light absorbance of …

Standard hemodynamic monitoring such as blood pressure and pulse oximetry may only
provide a crude estimation of organ perfusion in the critical care setting. Near-infrared …

Purpose A major objective of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) research is to devise a
noninvasive method of early detection. We hypothesized that abdominal near-infrared …

BACKGROUND: Obesity is associated with chronic increases in intra-abdominal pressure
(IAP). The aim of the present study was to examine the correlation between the IAP and the …
