Official Title: Application of Lung Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) During Invasive and Non-Invasive Ventilation and Pre- and Post-Surfactant Administration in Preterm Infants
Brief Summary:
Premature infants are more likely to develop hypoxemia after birth often requiring invasive and Non-Invasive Mechanical ventilation and surfactant therapy to improve alveolar gas exchange and oxygen transport.Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has been used to detect pulmonary regional oxygen saturation (rpSO 2 ) as well as cerebral regional oxygen saturation (rcSO2 ) and evaluate the oxygenation state of the lung and brain.This is a prospective observational study to evaluate utility of rpSO2 and compare it with…
