Abstract :Anemia increases the duration of hospital stay, costs, mortality, and morbidity. It is a serious health problem commonly seen in both perioperative and critical care patients. The primary purpose of blood is to transport oxygen to cells for the realization of energy-producing aerobic metabolism. Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) technique is a non-invasive monitoring method that assesses average regional tissue oxygenation. The cerebral oximeter was placed bilaterally on the frontal cortex and measured near the transcutaneous membrane. It is believed that NIRS monitoring will be an effective key in resolving the dilemma of anemia and transfusion in patients by detecting tissue oxygenation disorders. Clinical studies are required for this. In this article, the connection between NIRS and anemia will be discussed.
