Near infrared spectroscopy offers the possibility of noninvasive and continuous bedside investigation of cerebral oxygenation in newborn infants. Using this technique we investigated the relationship between changes in cerebral oxygenation and hemodynamics, and changes in some physiological variables during blood transfusion in anaemic preterm infants.

NIRS device used in this study, the optical field includes a volume of tissue approximately 2 cm deep to the surface probe with a 4-mm source-detector distance, and thus, organ-specific monitoring is feasible in small patients. With informed consent, we applied NIRS probes to the forehead and the lower extremity for cerebral (rSO2C) and peripheric (rSO2P) regional oxygen saturation measurements.
