Measurement of the Effect of Positional Changes on Cerebral Oxygenation in Preterm Infants

Phase 4

Completed

• Conditions: pOSitional Changes of Premature Infants

• Registration Number: NCT01255189
• Lead Sponsor: Zekai Tahir Burak Women's Health Research and Education Hospital

Brief Summary

Near infrared spectroscopy offers the possibility of noninvasive and continuous bedside investigation of cerebral oxygenation in newborn infants. Using this technique we investigated the effect of positional changes on cerebral oxygenation in preterm infants.

Detailed Description

The changes in cerebral perfusion have an important role on the development of intraventricular hemorrhage and periventricular leucomalacia. Near infrared spectroscopy offers the possibility of noninvasive and continuous bedside investigation of cerebral oxygenation in newborn infants. Using this technique we investigated the effect of positional changes on cerebral oxygenation in preterm infants.
