HYPERSPECTRAL/MULTISPECTRAL IMAGING IN DETERMINATION, ASSESSMENT AND MONITORING OF SYSTEMIC PHYSIOLOGY AND SHOCK

摘要

The present invention provides a hyperspectral imaging system which demonstrates changes in tissue oxygen delivery, extraction and saturation during shock and resuscitation including an imaging apparatus for performing real-time or near real-time assessment of monitoring of shock, including hemorrhagic, hypovolemic, cardiogenic, neurogenic, septic or burn shock. The information provided by the hyperspectral measurement can deliver physiologic measurements that support early detection of shock and also provide information about likely outcomes.
