Tissue Oximetry Devices Market Size, Share, and COVID-19 Impact Analysis, By Type (Handheld Devices and Modular Devices), By Application (Cardiology, Neurology, Nephrology, and Others), By End-User (Hospitals & ASCs, Clinics, and Others), and Regional Forecast 2025-2032

Tissue oximetry systems use near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to measure tissue oxygenation and blood perfusion. The system has optical technology and wearable sensors, which are utilized to comprehend human physiology and detect diseases. Tissue oximetry offers the advantage of early detection of oxygen levels in the blood over pulse oximetry.

• As per an article published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information in July 2022, a comparative study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of tissue oximetry against pulse oximetry. The study indicated that tissue oximetry detected the hypoxia effects earlier than pulse oximetry. The near-infrared spectroscopy of tissue oximetry can detect and monitor respiratory cycles in real time.

Tissue oximetry devices provide non-invasive tissue oxygenation monitoring for several clinical scenarios, such as hypotension, hypovolemia, hemorrhage, shock, or ischemia. The devices are commonly used to measure cerebral oxygenation in cardiac surgeries. The market growth is propelled by various factors, such as a rise in the incidence of heart diseases and an increasing need for cardiac surgery, among others.

• For instance, as per data published by NCBI in September 2022, cardiac surgery plays an important role in cardiovascular health due to the rising prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, including atherosclerosis, hypertension, and other lifestyle risk factors. The overall mortality in cardiac surgery is between 2% and 3%.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Tissue Oximetry Devices Market

The pandemic resulted in an adverse impact on the tissue oximetry devices market. Due to the outbreak of COVID-19, cardiac surgeries were postponed. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) affected all aspects of healthcare services, including cardiac surgical practices.

• As per an article published by NCBI, in January 2022, the rate of performing cardiac surgeries was substantially decreased by 37% during the outbreak of COVID-19 from March 2020 to April 2021.
• According to another article published by NCBI, in September 2021, less priority was given to major cardiac surgeries due to the increased focus on health services toward COVID‐19. Around 60% of the beds of the cardiology unit were utilized for COVID‐19 patients.
