INSTRUMENT FOR MEASURING CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING OF HUMANS USING IN VIVO NIRS TECHNOLOGY

摘要

Spectral, frequency based non-invasive procedure for determination of blood constituents utilizing in vivo NIRS (Near-Infrared Spectrum) technology, which is the measurement of the near-infrared absorption spectrum within a region of the living human body for the purpose of identifying tissue and blood components and their concentrations and more particularly to novel applications and methodology for determining the optical response, measurements and calculations relating to the concentrations of individual chromophores in the bloodstream and particularly to the level of CO chromophores in the tissues of an animal or human being.
