Performance of Near-Infrared Spectroscopy in Detecting Acute Tourniquet-Induced Upper-Extremity Ischemia Across Different Skin Phenotypes

Diagnosing acute tissue ischemia is challenging, particularly in patients with higher skin melanin content. We investigated whether near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is effective and consistent in detecting upper extremity ischemia across various skin phenotypes.
