Forearm and calf tissue oxygenation in term neonates measured with near-infrared spectroscopy.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Peripheral tissue oxygenation has been studied with near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) on either the forearm or calf with questionable comparability. The aim was to compare forearm and calf tissue oxygenation in healthy term neonates measured with NIRS. Fractional oxygen extraction, tissue oxygenation index, and mixed venous oxygenation were similar in both extremities, whereas oxygen delivery and oxygen consumption of calf tissue were higher.

Peripheral Muscle Near-Infrared Spectroscopy in Neonates: Ready for Clinical Use? A Systematic Qualitative Review of the Literature.
BACKGROUND Peripheral muscle near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) measurements are of increasing interest especially in the care of critically ill patients. OBJECTIVE The aim was to perform a systematic qualitative review on peripheral muscle NIRS measurements in the clinical care of term and preterm neonates. METHODS A systematic search of PubMed and Ovid Embase was performed using the follow...
متن کاملForearm muscle oxygenation decreases with low levels of voluntary contraction.
The purpose of our investigation was to determine if the near infrared spectroscopy technique was sensitive to changes in tissue oxygenation at low levels of isometric contraction in the extensor carpi radialis brevis muscle. Nine subjects were seated with the right arm abducted to 45 degrees, elbow flexed to 85 degrees, forearm pronated 45 degrees, and wrist and forearm supported on an armrest...
متن کاملPrecision of cerebral oxygenation and hemoglobin concentration measurements in neonates measured by near-infrared spectroscopy.
BACKGROUND AND AIM One source of error with near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is the assumption that the measured tissue is optically homogeneous. This is not always the case. Our aim is to assess the impact of tissue homogeneity (TH) on the precision of NIRS measurements in neonates. METHODS On 36 term and 27 preterm neonates at least five 1-min measurements are performed on each subject usi...
متن کاملPregnancy at high altitude in the Andes leads to increased total vessel density in healthy newborns.
The developing human fetus is able to cope with the physiological reduction in oxygen supply occurring in utero. However, it is not known if microvascularization of the fetus is augmented when pregnancy occurs at high altitude. Fifty-three healthy term newborns in Puno, Peru (3,840 m) were compared with sea-level controls. Pre- and postductal arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2) was determined. Ce...
متن کاملNear-Infrared Spectroscopy for Objectifying Cerebral Effects of Laser Acupuncture in Term and Preterm Neonates
Laser acupuncture (LA) becomes more and more relevant in neonates and infants. With near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), a continuous and noninvasive measurement of tissue oxygenation is possible. Aim was to investigate, whether the application of LA was associated with any changes in regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rcSO2) in term and preterm neonates. The study included 20 neonates (12 male...
