Non-invasive cerebral monitoring and cerebral metric-based guidance for medical procedures

An extracorporeal life support (ECLS) cerebral monitoring device comprising:

• a measurement probe including:
• one or more optical emitters, and
• one or more optical detectors;
• an optical instrument including:
• an optical source, and
• an optical detector;
• and
• a controller configured to:
• control the optical instrument to emit multi-spectral light through the one or more optical emitters to illuminate a tissue,
• control the one or more optical detectors of the measurement probe to detect multi-spectral light emitted from the illuminated tissue,
• compare the emitted multi-spectral light to the detected multi-spectral light,
• compute a plurality of cerebral tissue parameters based on the comparison, wherein the plurality of tissue parameters comprises blood flow,
• determine ECLS procedures based on the plurality of cerebral tissue parameters, and
• control a user output device to perform one or both steps of i) instructing a user to perform the ECLS procedures, and ii) controlling an automated ECLS device to perform the ECLS procedures, wherein the user output device comprises a haptic feedback module, and wherein instructions output by the user output device comprise at least one of administration of medication and alteration of anesthesia.
