Non-invasive Near-infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) Versus Invasive Licox Intracranial Pressure

September 28, 2021 updated by: Alejandro Rabinstein, Mayo Clinic

Non-invasive Near-infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) Versus Invasive Licox Intracranial Pressure Monitoring in Neurocritical Care

Researchers are trying to assess how accurately and safely NIRS non-invasive monitoring can detect changes in intracranial pressure to determine if this noninvasive device can be used instead of invasive monitoring with Licox in the future.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Subjects with acute brain injury
Subjects requiring placement of a Licox Brain Tissue Oxygen device for their clinical care will also have Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) monitoring system placed
Invasive brain tissue oxygenation monitoring
Non-invasive approach to monitoring brain tissue oxygenation which uses two wavelengths of near infrared light and takes measurements of the ratio of oxyhemoglobin to total hemoglobin

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Correlation between changes in Licox and NIRS oxygenation measurements
Time Frame: 3 to 5 days of the monitoring duration
Licox measures oxygenation in terms of partial pressure (PtO2) and NIRS measures it in terms of saturation (rSO2). The changes in PtO2 versus the changes in rSO2 will be compared for equivalence.
3 to 5 days of the monitoring duration

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Correlation between changes in pressure reactivity index and Licox versus NIRS
Time Frame: 3 to 5 days of the monitoring duration
The pressure reactivity index (PRx) is derived using ICM+ software; the PRx is a correlation coefficient ranging from -1 to +1; PRx > 0 indicates poor autoregulation. We will investigate if PRx correlates with changes in rSO2 as measured by NIRS (if changes in autoregulation correspond with changes in oxygenation).
3 to 5 days of the monitoring duration
