Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), is a technology that can provide continuous, non-invasive monitoring of oxygenation in tissue. The objective of this study is to obtain the cerebral regional oxygen saturation (cRSO2) in a preterm population that is born at altitude to determine if the range of "normal" values is different than those obtained at sea level.

Cerebral Regional Oxygen Saturation (cRSO2)
Measure cRSO2 for the first 96 hours of life in infants born preterm.
Time frame: first 96 hours of life
Incidence of Major Complications of Prematurity
Additional items recorded to determine if there is any correlation with the cRSO2 values, including death, intraventricular hemorrhage, necrotizing enterocolitis, sepsis, duration of supplemental oxygen required, time to taking full volume feeds via nippling, and hospital length of stay.
Time frame: From birth until the end of the birth hospitalization, which would be discharge home or death, whichever occurs first. Estimated time is up to 6 months of age.
