A cerebral-ischemia supervisory monitor includes: a pair of optical fibers
which each have a tip part that can be placed substantially
perpendicularly to an exterior surface of a cerebrum; an irradiation
portion which is connected to a basic end part of one of the optical
fibers, and via this optical fiber, can irradiate the exterior surface of
a cerebrum with ultraviolet rays; a light-receiving portion which is
connected to the basic end part of the other one of the optical fibers,
and via this optical fiber, can receive fluorescence that is emitted when
the ultraviolet rays excite cerebral cells; and a display portion which
can display an intensity of the fluorescence.
