Cerebral Oxygenation and Autoregulation in Preterm Infants: Association With Morbidity and Mortality
Premature infants are at high risk for variations in blood pressure and oxygenation during
the first few days of life. The immaturity of the premature brain may further predispose
these infants to death or the development of neurologic problems. The relationship between
unstable blood pressure and oxygen levels and brain injury has not been well elucidated.
This study investigates the utility of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), a non-invasive
oxygen-measuring device, to identify preterm infants at highest risk for brain injury or
death.
