Near-infrared spectroscopy detects transient decrements and recovery of microvascular responsiveness following prolonged forearm ischemia

ConclusionThese findings show that NIRS-derived reoxygenation slope detects the transient detrimental effects of prolonged ischemia within the forearm microvasculature. Additionally, this study found that the reduction in forearm microvascular responsiveness might have induced to decreased brachial artery FMD responsiveness.
