Near-infrared Spectroscopy, Oximetry, Premature Infants
Conditions
Brief summary
Regional tissue oxygenation (rStO2) can be monitored by near-infrared spectroscopy. The investigators planned a SafeBoosC phase II trial to test if a reduction of the burden of hyper- and hypoxia can be accomplished during the first three days of life in infants born before 28 completed weeks of gestation. The investigators developed a treatment guideline and a randomised trial design to evaluate if cerebral rStO2 spent out of range in %hours can be reduced by 50%. The present trial is a non-randomised pilot study of the intervention in 10 infants.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| change of medical management elicited by cerebral oxygenation out of range | 0-72 hours of life | Recording of the type of change of management as defined by the treatment guideline |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Adverse device effects | 0-72 hours | Expected and unexpected |
| burden of hypo-and hyperoxia | 0-72 hours | measured as %hours out of the target range (55-85%) |
