Summary

Monitoring patent ductus arteriosus is currently performed using echocardiography, an operator-dependent examination which requires holding the child on their back and which is potentially time-consuming. This test is usually carried out on days 2, 4 and 7 after birth. NIRS (near-infrared spectroscopy) is a non-invasive method of monitoring tissue oxygen saturation using infrared light. The aim of the study was to investigate an association between cerebral and renal NIRS data and ductus arteriosus status obtained by echocardiography.

Conditions

• Extremely Premature Newborn (Born Before 32 Weeks' Gestation)

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Collection of brain and kidney NIRS measurements	(recorded continuously) by a person not involved in the study 30 minutes before echocardiography was performed
OTHER	echocardiography	on day 2, day 4 and day 7 of life
