The COVID-19 pandemic has altered the approach to wound healing and limb salvage. The need for efficient, effective, and portable non-invasive vascular assessments during patient triage is critical in supporting positive outcomes. Non-invasive vascular assessment methods in the context of “wound care without walls”, including the use of near infrared spectroscopy as a novel and valuable solution in vascular assessment, will be reviewed and discussed.

1. Review of current non-invasive vascular assessment methods to understand the need for better remote vascular diagnostic tool.
2. Understand how tissue oxygen saturation is a valid assessment for tissue viability.
3. Appreciate the use of near infrared spectroscopy as a fast and reliable non-invasive vascular assessment for enhanced patient triage.
