Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Comparison of variability and repeatability of the recorded cerebral tissue oxygenation signals between two groups of patients (clinical stable preterm and term newborns)

There are two FDA-approved near infrared cerebral oximeters: 1. FORE-SIGHT- which uses laser light 2. INVOS 5100- which uses light emmiting diode. Measurements in adult patients have showed that FORE-SIGHT provides more stable signal. Purpose of our study is to compare these two devices in newborn patients.
