Feasibility of long-term cerebral and peripheral regional tissue oxygen saturation measurements.

abstract：:Cardiac output (CO) monitoring is not only essential for critically ill patients in the hospital, but also for patients at home and those undergoing cardiopulmonary exercise testing. However, CO is difficult to monitor during daily activities and exercise. In this paper, we aim at developing a novel CO estimation meth...
