Description
Summary:	NIRO-Pulse is a novel mode of near-infrared spectroscopy that can be used to visually evaluate cerebral perfusion during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), providing real-time feedback as to the quality of the CPR. The aim of this report was to describe the several representative cases of NIRO-Pulse for physiological monitoring during CPR. We present several cases from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients for whom NIRO-Pulse was attached to the forehead after hospital arrival. Patients were subjected to continuous brain monitoring during CPR using NIRO-Pulse, which allows for the visualisation of ΔHb (Hb pulsation). NIRO-Pulse is capable of simultaneously measuring and displaying cerebral tissue oxygen saturation (SctO2) and Hb pulsation, providing real-time feedback during CPR in the form of physiological indicators, and assessing changes in SctO2 throughout the CPR procedure by post-mortem analysis. We observed several representative cases that provided the following insights: (1) SctO2 increased after a change in the quality of chest compression, (2) SctO2 decreased during the ventilation phase of synchronised CPR, (3) SctO2 decreased during the interruption of chest compressions for the preparation of defibrillation, and (4) SctO2 gradually and continuously increased after return of spontaneous circulation. Displaying Hb pulsation in conjunction with SctO2 during CPR may be helpful for evaluating the quality of and patient responsiveness to CPR. Further studies investigating the association between the use of NIRO-Pulse during CPR and subsequent outcomes should be conducted.
