Regional oximetry for diagnosing compartment syndrome: a scoping review
NIRS provides a physiologically relevant but technically variable indicator of compartmental perfusion, which may complement, but not replace, ICP monitoring for compartment syndrome. The results presented are hypothesis-generating and require prospective trials with standardised protocols, inclusive calibration, and prospective validation before clinical adoption of NIRS.
