Evaluation of the Brain and Renal Regional Oxygenation Using NIRS in Preterm Infants

January 3, 2023 updated by: Vilnius University

Evaluation of the Brain and Renal Regional Oxygenation Using Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) Method in Very Low Birth Weight (<1500 g) Infants

This study evaluates the brain and renal oxygenation using near infrared spectroscopy in preterm infants with persistent ductus arteriosus

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is common in preterm infants. In the presence of a large PDA, significant systemic to pulmonary shunting occurs, which may result in pulmonary hyperperfusion and systemic hypoperfusion.

The evidence on PDA effect on brain and renal tissue oxygenation, measured by Near Infrared Spectroscopy is still controversial.

This study aims to evaluate the brain and renal oxygenation using near infrared spectroscopy (NONIN SenSmart model X-100) in 3 groups of preterm infants: 1) closed ductus arteriosus, 2) persistent ductus arteriosus, 3) hemodynamicaly significant ductus arteriosus.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
group1
preterm infant with closed ductus arteriosus, <32 weeks birth weight < 1500g, and > 72 hours of age

group2
preterm infant with PDA < 32 weeks, birth weight < 1500g, and > 72 hours of age
for to measure cerebral (cSO2) and renal (rSO2 ) regional tissue oxygen saturation on the day after echocardiography was done. The sensors were placed on the right/left forehead and the right/left lateral posterior flank
Other Names:
  • GE LOGIQ S8 XDclear 2.0 ultrasoud
group3
preterm infant with hemodynamically significant PDA < 32 weeks, birth weight < 1500g, and > 72 hours of age
for to measure cerebral (cSO2) and renal (rSO2 ) regional tissue oxygen saturation on the day after echocardiography was done. The sensors were placed on the right/left forehead and the right/left lateral posterior flank
Other Names:
  • GE LOGIQ S8 XDclear 2.0 ultrasoud
