A method based on near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is presented, which provides a rapid analysis of lactate in plasma. In order to test the technique, NIRS analysis and enzymatic measurements were made on plasma samples taken from exercising humans. A correlation coefficient of 0.995 and a standard error of 0.51 mmol/L were found between the enzymatic and the NIR results. This standard error is within the range needed for real-time monitoring of lactate in plasma for exercising studies. In the future, this technique may provide a valuable tool to assess physiological status for research and clinical use.

In this review, we describe the near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) technology and its clinical use in high-risk neonates in critical care settings. We searched databases (e.g., PubMed, Google Scholar, EBSCOhost) to find studies describing the use of NIRS on critically ill and high-risk neonates. Near-infrared spectroscopy provides continuous noninvasive monitoring of venous oxygen saturation. It uses technology similar to pulse oximetry to measure the oxygen saturation of hemoglobin in a tissue bed to describe the relative delivery and extraction of oxygen. Near-infrared spectroscopy can be a valuable bedside tool to provide clinicians indirect evidence of perfusion. It may prompt early interventions that promote oxygen delivery, which can improve high-risk neonatal outcomes.
