简要总结
Feasibility trial on the use of a hybrid optical device integrating time-resolved near-infrared spectroscopy (TRS) and diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) for measurement of cerebral oxygen metabolism and blood flow in neonates.
The device wil be tested in four settings measuring:
- Changes in cerebral oxygenation and haemodynamics after birth
- precision and repeatability
- The cerebral vaso-reactivity to arterial carbon dioxide
- Assessment of the user-friendliness and loss of signal in routine care
详细描述
The BabyLux project aims to provide a precise, accurate, and robust device to continuously monitor cerebral oxygen metabolism and blood flow in critically ill newborn infants. This will be achieved by combining time resolved near-infrared spectroscopy (TRS) with newly developed diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) in a single device. The innovative aspects of the project are related to the use of advanced solutions, based on state-of-the-art photonic components, which have already been tested in laboratory and clinical tests on adults.
Time Resolved Near-infrared spectroscopy and Diffuse Correlation Spectroscopy
The proposed solution will integrate two advanced photonic techniques, TRS and DCS. Both techniques rely on the use of an optical fibre probe (sensor) to illuminate with very low power near-infrared light the scalp and to collect the diffusively reflected optical signal that has propagated through the scalp and skull, and therefore carries information on the deeper cortical region. The different absorption spectra of oxygenated and deoxygenated haemoglobin in the near-infrared range allows for the non-invasive monitoring of the two species in the cortical tissue.
TRS and DCS prototypes are available and have been technically tested in laboratory settings and successfully validated during preclinical trials on adult volunteers and patients.
