Near Infrared Spectroscopy in peripheral artery disease and the diabetic foot: A systematic review
Simon Joseph et al
Diabetes Metab Res Rev. 2022 Aug 8

With the need for tools that assess microvascular status in DFD being clear, near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a putative method for non-invasive testing of the diabetic foot. The use of NIRS in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) has extended to its role in studying the pathophysiology of diabetic foot disease (DFD). NIRS generates metrics such as recovery time, deoxygenation, oxygen consumption (VO2 ), tissue oxygen saturation (StO2), total haemoglobin (HbT) and oxyhaemoglobin area under the curve (O2 HbAUC ). NIRS may potentially help the multidisciplinary team stratify limbs as high-risk, especially in diabetics with symptoms masked by peripheral neuropathy. NIRS may be useful for assessing treatment effectiveness and preventing deterioration of patients with PAD
