Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Is cerebral oxygenation monitoring by near-infrared spectroscopy clinically useful in patients with severe closed-head injury : a comparison with jugular venous bulb oximetry?
Answer: Tissue oxygen saturation determined by near-infrared spectroscopy does not reflect significant changes in cerebral oxygenation detected by the global measurement of jugular venous bulb oximetry. This finding may be explained by inadequate signal detection and inaccuracies in the algorithm used to filter out extracranial components. Until these technical difficulties are addressed, near-infrared spectroscopy, as measured by the machine assessed in this study, cannot be routinely recommended for assessment of cerebral oxygenation in patients with acute head injury.
Output (English): no
