Monitoring of Systemic or Organ Perfusion for Preterm Infants

To investigate biomarker reflects systemic or specific organ perfusion well, we are going to the observational comparison study using several hemodynamic monitoring methods in the premature infants. It includes near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), pulse oximetry with perfusion index (PI) and pleth variability index (PVI) and functional echocardiography.

Key information

About this study

Hemodynamic observational comparisons will be performed in 6 episodes below on each patient.

  • first 24 hours after birth
  • during red blood cell (RBC) transfusion: from 4 hours before to 4 hours after the transfusion
  • suspicion of necrotizing enterocolitis: from the suspicion point for 48 hours
  • suspicion of sepsis: from the suspicion point for 48 hours
  • oligouria (< 1 mL/kg/hour of urine): for 48 hours
  • hypotension (mean blood pressure < 30 mmHg): for 48 hours

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.
