Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Assessment of Cerebral Oxygen Metabolism in the Developing Premature Brain

Abstract: Little is known about cerebral blood flow, cerebral blood volume (CBV), oxygenation, and oxygen consumption in the premature newborn brain. We combined quantitative frequency-domain near-infrared spectroscopy measures of cerebral hemoglobin oxygenation (SO2) and CBV with diffusion correlation spectroscopy measures of cerebral blood flow index (BFix) to determine the relationship between these measures, gestational age at birth (GA), and chronological age. We followed 56 neonates of various GA once a week durin… Show more

“…In addition, good agreement was also found between the absolute blood flow index determined from ML DCS ( Table 2) and our previous values derived from autocorrelation functions measured directly on the brain, (~48x10 −9 cm 2 /s at normocapnia and ~28x10 −9 cm 2 /s at hypocapnia) [30]. This agreement suggests that F B could be used as a marker to track longitudinal changes in CBF, similar to previous DCS studies involving infants [41]. However, this would require careful assessment of the reproducibility of F B considering the added complexity of the analysis.…”

“…Although beyond the scope of this study, other reasons for differences between rScO 2 values measured in extremely preterm infants can be manifold. Besides differences in the techniques as stated above, differences in postmenstrual and postnatal age (25)(26)(27)(28) or differences induced by the different locations of the brain under investigation (29) may contribute to differences in rScO 2 . It will be worthwhile and clinically very important to further investigate these issues in relation to cerebral oxygen saturation.…”

“…The general clinical characteristics of the subjects are listed in Table 1. The clinical summary for preterm infants is described in Roche-Labarbe et al (2011) (infant 43 is excluded in this study because of bilateral germinal matrix and grade II intraventricular hemorrhage, and infant 42 because of 5-min Apgar of 5 due to lung prematurity). Infants were measured every 1--2 weeks during their hospital stay for a total of 244 measurements.…”
