Background  The goal when resuscitating trauma patients is to achieve adequate tissue perfusion. One parameter of tissue perfusion is tissue oxygen saturation (StO 2 ), as measured by near infrared spectroscopy. Using a commercially available device, we investigated whether clinically relevant blood loss of 500 ml in healthy volunteers can be detected by changes in StO 2  after a standardized ischemic event.    Methods  We performed occlusion of the brachial artery for 3 minutes in 20 healthy female blood donors before and after blood donation. StO 2  and total oxygenated tissue hemoglobin (O 2 Hb) were measured continuously at the thenar eminence. 10 healthy volunteers were assessed in the same way, to examine whether repeated vascular occlusion without blood donation exhibits time dependent effects.    Results  Blood donation caused a substantial decrease in systolic blood pressure, but did not affect resting StO 2  and O 2 Hb values. No changes were measured in the blood donor group in the reaction to the vascular occlusion test, but in the control group there was an increase in the O 2 Hb rate of recovery during the reperfusion phase.    Conclusion  StO 2  measured at the thenar eminence seems to be insensitive to blood loss of 500 ml in this setting. Probably blood loss greater than this might lead to detectable changes guiding the treating physician. The exact cut off for detectable changes and the time effect on repeated vascular occlusion tests should be explored further. Until now no such data exist.
