Summary

Near infrared spectroscopy offers the possibility of noninvasive and continuous bedside investigation of cerebral oxygenation in newborn infants. Using this technique we investigated the effect of positional changes on cerebral oxygenation in preterm infants.

Detailed description

The changes in cerebral perfusion have an important role on the development of intraventricular hemorrhage and periventricular leucomalacia. Near infrared spectroscopy offers the possibility of noninvasive and continuous bedside investigation of cerebral oxygenation in newborn infants. Using this technique we investigated the effect of positional changes on cerebral oxygenation in preterm infants.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Device: near infrared spectroscopy: INVOS 5100	NIRS device used in this study, the optical field includes a volume of tissue approximately 2 cm deep to the surface probe with a 4-mm source-detector distance, and thus, organ-specific monitoring is feasible in small patients. With informed consent, we applied NIRS probes to the forehead and the lower extremity for cerebral (rSO2C) and peripheric (rSO2P) regional oxygen saturation measurements.
