Official Title: Assessment of Cerebral Monitoring Using the Pulsatile Near Infrared Spectroscopy in Neonates Immediately After Birth - a Prospective Observational Pilot Study
Brief Summary:
The transition from fetus to newborn is a complex physiological process.Monitoring this process to detect potential disruptions is critical but remains a challenge.Initial evaluation of neonates is usually based on visual inspection, palpation and/or auscultation, and response to stimuli.To objectify the condition of the newborn during this vulnerable transitional period, Virginia Apgar developed a clinical assessment-based scoring system called the Apgar Score, which is widely used around the world.However,…
