Cerebral somatic oximeters allow continuous and non-invasive monitoring of cerebral oxygen saturation by surface electrodes. Moreover, in cardiac surgery, cerebral oximetry can significantly reduce the incidence of postoperative stroke by optimizing cerebral oxygen supply and demand, and by maintaining baseline regional oxygen saturation values during cardiopulmonary bypass procedures. A cerebral somatic oximeter is based on the principle of NIRS (Near Infrared Spectroscopy) technology and is used for oxygenation monitoring during oxygenation monitoring for various surgeries such as cardiac surgeries, vascular surgeries, and others. A cerebral somatic oximeter is also known as a regional oximeter or tissue oximeter. Cerebral oximeters measure tissue oxygen saturation, which reflects hemoglobin saturation in arterial, venous, and capillary blood. In the cerebral cortex, average tissue hemoglobin is distributed in a proportion of 70% in venous and 30% in arterial blood. Cerebral oximetry helps clinicians detect desaturation, intervene promptly, and improve patient outcomes. Cerebral oximeters consist of a monitor that is connected to oximeter probes. Adhesive pads attach probes to the patient's scalp. Probes are most commonly applied to the scalp overlying the frontal lobe.
Market Dynamics
Increasing use of cerebral somatic oximeters in research activities is expected to drive market growth over the forecast period. For instance, in December 2020, Springer Nature, a scientific journal, stated the use of wearable wireless real-time cerebral oximeter for measuring regional cerebral oxygen saturation
