    Abstract

    Hypoxia is closely related to many diseases and often leads to death. Early detection and identification of the hypoxia causes may help to promptly determine the right rescue plan and reduce the mortality. We proposed a new multiparametric monitoring method employing mitochondrial reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) fluorescence, regional reflectance, regional cerebral blood flow (CBF), electrocardiography (ECG), and respiration under six kinds of acute hypoxia in four categories to investigate a correlation between the parameter variances and the hypoxia causes. The variation patterns of the parameters were discussed, and the combination of NADH and CBF may contribute to the identification of the causes of hypoxia.
