Near-infrared spectroscopy is used to measure cerebral oximetry, which offers continuous and non-invasive information on the oxygen saturation of haemoglobin in the central nervous system. This is particularly critical in the case of individuals who have suffered catastrophic brain injuries. Brain oximetry monitoring in these individuals may enable for the identification of insufficient cerebral oxygenation caused by cerebral blood flow abnormalities. It could be able to detect hypoxia and cerebral ischemia events. Continuous bedside monitoring might aid in the early detection of cerebral haemorrhage and cerebrovascular autoregulation problems, as well as therapy implementation. However, it is important to realise that using near-infrared spectroscopy to monitor cerebral oximetry has a number of drawbacks, which are mostly due to its physical characteristics. TBIs are one of the leading causes of death in patients who have been wounded in traffic accidents, falls from great heights, battery, or a firearm attack. TBIs are categorised in a variety of ways. Mild, moderate, and severe injuries are classified according to the severity of the injury. They are divided into two categories: focal injuries and primary diffuse brain injuries, depending on the mechanism of damage. They can occur on their own or as part of a multi-organ injury. A Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) causes a primary brain damage.
