Noninvasive Continuous Monitoring of Cerebral Oxygenation Periictally Using Near‐Infrared Spectroscopy: A Preliminary Report

Abstract

In this preliminary report on the use of NIRS for patients with seizures, we believe that NIRS allows continuous and noninvasive monitoring of changes in cerebral oxygenation periictally, thereby permitting investigations into the pathophysiology of seizures and the exploration of the potential of cerebral oximetry as a tool for seizure localization.
