Abstract
Objective: This study evaluated the association of parental interactions and therapies with cerebral oxygenation (rScO2) and rScO2 variability in infants using near-infrared spectroscopy.
Study design: Prospective pilot study in clinically stable infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Infants were monitored continuously for 48 hours, and rScO2 during parental interactions and therapies was compared with periods of no activity. rScO2 variability was derived using the root mean of successive squared differences of averaged 1-minute rScO2 values. Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed-rank test was used to compare baseline and activity periods.
Results: Data analysis included 23 infants. rScO2 variability increased during periods of parental interaction (p = 0.04) and during combined parental interaction and therapies (p = 0.04).
Conclusion: We observed that routine NICU interventions are associated with increased rScO2 variability in clinically stable NICU patients. rScO2 variability may represent a useful biomarker for the early determination of the safety and efficacy of NICU interventions.
Key points: · Low rScO2 variability is linked to poor outcomes.. · Parental interactions increase rScO2 variability.. · rScO2 variability may be a useful biomarker.. · rScO2 variability may predict outcomes..
期刊介绍:
The American Journal of Perinatology is an international, peer-reviewed, and indexed journal publishing 14 issues a year dealing with original research and topical reviews. It is the definitive forum for specialists in obstetrics, neonatology, perinatology, and maternal/fetal medicine, with emphasis on bridging the different fields.
The focus is primarily on clinical and translational research, clinical and technical advances in diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment as well as evidence-based reviews. Topics of interest include epidemiology, diagnosis, prevention, and management of maternal, fetal, and neonatal diseases. Manuscripts on new technology, NICU set-ups, and nursing topics are published to provide a broad survey of important issues in this field.
All articles undergo rigorous peer review, with web-based submission, expedited turn-around, and availability of electronic publication.
The American Journal of Perinatology is accompanied by AJP Reports - an Open Access journal for case reports in neonatology and maternal/fetal medicine.
