Apparatus, systems and methods for determining tissue oxygenation
First Claim
1. A monitoring device configured to map oxygenation of a tissue containing an injectable, light re-emitting probe, the monitoring device comprising:
- at least one optical emitter that is configured to excite the injectable, light re-emitting probe;
at least one optical detector configured to receive the re-emitted light from the probe;
a signal processor that is configured to resolve the tissue oxygenation at multiple points based on an oxygen-dependent optical response of light emitted by the injectable, light re-emitting probe to generate an oxygen map; and
a temperature sensor that is configured to detect a temperature of the tissue,wherein the signal processor is configured to receive temperature data from the temperature sensor to calibrate resolving the tissue oxygenation based on the temperature dependence of the oxygen-dependent optical response.

Abstract
A surgical instrument may be configured to sense a light re-emitting probe to resolve tissue oxygenation, the surgical instrument including: an optical emitter configured to excite the light re-emitting probe within an absorption band of the light re-emitting probe; an optical detector configured to receive the re-emitted light from the probe; and a signal processor configured to resolve the tissue oxygenation based on the received light. The surgical instrument can be a surgical stapler anvil or a flexible substrate having a tissue interfacing surface. Further, a monitoring device may be configured to map oxygenation of a tissue containing a light re-emitting probe, the monitoring device including: an optical emitter configured to excite the light re-emitting probe; at least one optical detector configured to receive the re-emitted light from the probe; and a signal processor that is configured to resolve the tissue oxygenation at multiple points to generate an oxygen map.
