  ABSTRACT: The use of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) as a means of assessing regional oxygen supply is a method that has gained recent support and interest. Given the potential of NIRS, this technology was utilized in an infant patient with a case of severe osteogenesis imperfecta that precluded conventional blood pressure monitoring. Using NIRS as a monitor and titrating the anesthetic accordingly produced a good outcome, with no post-operative evidence of detrimental intra-operative hypotension or ischemia.
