Abstract

To investigate the ratio of cerebral tissue oxygenation index (cTOI) to peripheral muscle tissue oxygenation index (pTOI) measured by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in cardio-circulatory stable preterm neonates without signs of inflammation/infection on the first day after birth. Observational study analysing secondary outcome parameters of the 'Avoiding Hypotension in Preterm Neonates (AHIP)' trial (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT01910467). Preterm neonates, who had cTOI and pTOI measurements during 24 h after birth, were included. In each neonate the mean of the cTOI/pTOI-ratio, cTOI, pTOI and routine monitoring parameters were calculated for each hour and for the 24-h measuring period. Courses of all measured parameters were analysed. Eighty-seven stable preterm neonates (33.1 [32.1-34.1] weeks of gestation) were included. The mean value over the 24-h measuring period for the cTOI/pTOI-ratio was 0.96 ± 0.02, for cTOI 70.1 ± 1.4 and for pTOI 73.4 ± 0.9. Routine monitoring parameters were in the normal ranges over 24 h. The courses of the cTOI/pTOI-ratio and cTOI showed significantly lower values from hour 5 to 15 compared to the first hours after birth. Heart rate decreased significantly over time, whereas mean arterial...Continue Reading
