NIMO TISSUE OXIMETER |
APPLICATIONS
NIMO is a useful and powerful instrument in any case where the tissue oxygenation measure plays a fundamental role. Therefore the applications of NIMO include:
muscle physiology
sport medicine
peripheral vascular disease
anaesthesiology and critical care unit
microcirculation investigation study
functional rehabilitation
high altitude physiology
functional brain mapping
neonatology
ergonomics
NIMO allows the absolute measurement of oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin. Thus it is possible to indirectly measure rest metabolism parameters using occlusion methods (arterial occlusion AO or venous occlusion VO):
| Parameter | Description | AO | VO | Unit of measurement |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| mVO2 | muscle oxygen consumption | X | X | mlO2/(min 100g) |
| BF | blood flow | X | ml/(min 100g) | |
| CM | microvascular compliance | X | ml/(mmHg l) | |
| RTOI | tissue oxygenation rate | X | %/s | |
| OE | hemodynamic overshoot | X | % | |
| RT | recovery time | X | s |
NIMO can be used to trace muscle tissue oxygenation during exercise such as laboratory functional evaluation on ergometers (for example incremental exercise testing, constant work rate, time-to-exaustion or time-trial). The data post-processing tools allow calculation of:
| Parameter | Description |
Unit of measurement |
|---|---|---|
HHb |
microvascular O2 extraction |
[uM] o [%] |
FM TOI-HHb |
inflection point |
[time] or [load] |
D TOI |
tissue desaturation |
% |
R TOI |
tissue oxygenation rate |
%/s |
OE |
hemodynamic overshoot |
% |
T50 |
recovery time |
s |
