Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Diagnosing acute tissue ischemia is challenging, particularly in patients with higher skin melanin content. We investigated whether near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is effective and consistent in detecting upper extremity ischemia across various skin phenotypes. METHODS: Volunteers underwent tourniquet-induced upper extremity ischemia. Skin color was evaluated by the Fitzpatrick scale (FP, range: I-VI)...
