Intracranial Hematoma Detection by Near Infrared Spectroscopy in a Helicopter Emergency Medical Service: Practical Experience

Figure 1

In (a), the Infrascanner 2000 (left side) is depicted with the disposable components, that is, click-on mount (right side, bottom) and the two optical fibers (right side top, in a transparent casing). In the HEMS setting, we currently transport the optical fibers in this casing to avoid snagging and breaking of mounted optical fibers. Inlay (b) shows such a broken light fiber.
