Using a novel optical sensor to monitor spinal cord oxygenation and hemodynamics in acute spinal cord injury
EF 2019-20
Résumé
In this study, we investigate the feasibility and validity of using a customized optical sensor to non-invasively monitor spinal cord physiology after spinal cord injury. Currently, there is no method for non-invasively measuring physiologic parameters inside the injured spinal cord, making the management of spinal cord injury patients very difficult for clinicians. Our customized optical sensor aims to identify physiologic changes and provide real-time information about spinal cord physiology to optimize the care for spinal cord injury patients.
