Brief summary
Protocol Near infrared spectroscopy liver transplants: comparison of two monitoring of Near infrared spectroscopy in pediatric liver transplant.
Detailed description
Hyperbilirubinaemia may interfere with oximetry values as measured by Near Infrared Spectroscopy devices. The number of wave lengths used by different devices can influence the oximetry values in adult patients. This has never been demonstrated in children with hyperbilirubinaemia scheduled for elective liver transplantation.The study will compare cerebral and somatic oximetry values measured by two different Near infrared spectroscopy devices (FORESIGHT and INVOS) and analyse the influence of bilirubin levels on these differences.
Interventions
somatic and cerebral oximetry by INVOS in pediatric liver transplantation
somatic and cerebral oximetry with Foresight device in pediatric liver transplantation

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| influence of chromophores such as bilirubin on oximetry values provided by two different devices | From Day 0 of surgery until arrival at pediatric intensive care unit (up to 12 hours) | measure of oximetry values by two different devices at different time points in function of serum bilirubin levels |
