Summary
This study reviews near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) technology, which estimates tissue oxygenation by measuring oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin levels. It highlights NIRS applications for monitoring muscle oxygenation in acute and chronic compartment syndrome and provides guidance on proper sensor placement, summarizing two decades of research and technological evolution.
