Abstract
Asphyxiated newborns often require both therapeutic hypothermia (TH) and mechanical ventilation (MV) and the complex interrelationship between these two therapeutic interventions is very interesting, which could not only have several synergistic positive effects but also some risks. Perinatal asphyxia is the leading cause of neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) and TH is the only approved neuroprotective treatment to limit brain injury, improving the mortality rate and long-term neurological outcomes. HIE is often associated with severe respiratory failure, requiring MV, due to different lung diseases or an impairment of the respiratory drive. The respiratory support management of asphyxiated newborns is very difficult, considering (a) various pathophysiological contexts, (b) the strong impact of TH on gas metabolism and (c) on lung mechanics, and (d) complex TH-MV interactions. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the real indications of MV for cooled newborns, considering the risks of respiratory overassistance (hypocapnia/hyperoxia), as well as the adequate monitoring systems. To date, specific randomized studies about the optimal respiratory approach for cooled newborns are lacking, and strategies for MV support vary from center to center. Moreover, there are many open questions about the real effects of cooling on lung mechanics and on surfactant, most appropriate method of blood gas analysis, and clear indications for pharmacological sedation. The aim of this review is to propose a reasoned approach for respiratory management of cooled newborns, considering the pathophysiological context, multiple actions of TH, and consequences of TH-MV matched action and its related risks.

[PMID: 38884105 PMCID: PMC11176488 DOI: 10.3389/fped.2024.1381808] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2024] [Accepted: 05/15/2024] [Indexed: 06/18/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Exchange transfusion therapy is a complex and invasive procedure with a high risk coefficient. This method involves replacing the entire blood of a child with fresh blood with double circulating blood volume in a short period, typically in 1-2 h. This procedure can cause the body's internal environment to be unstable, which can put newborns under a lot of stress. This stress can lead to many, including abnormal laboratory biochemical examination, low or high blood pressure, and apnea. There is also the possibility of secondary infection and, in severe cases, cardiac arrest. This study investigated the effects of Humidified high-flow nasal cannula (HHFNC) ventilation on hemodynamic stability and oxygenation during exchange transfusion in neonates. Furthermore, the effects on brain metabolism and salivary cortisol during exchange transfusion were also analyzed. Methods In this study, the control group consisted of 45 cases of children who underwent simple blood exchange between 1 May 2017, and 31 December 2019 control group. The observation group consisted of 33 cases of children who underwent blood exchange under HHFNC support between 1 January 2020, and 30 April 2022. The study compared various physiological parameters between the control and the observation group. These included blood gas analysis, pulmonary artery pressure, ejection fraction, invasive mean arterial pressure, heart rate, cerebral oxygenation, intestinal oxygenation, renal oxygenation, and duration of blood exchange. Furthermore, the study also compared the changes in brain metabolic and salivary cortisol indicators between the two groups of children. Results The results did not reveal any significant difference in PH, PaO2, and duration of blood exchange between the control and the observation group. However, the observation group's invasive mean arterial pressure, ejection fraction, cerebral oxygenation, intestinal oxygenation, and renal oxygenation were higher than those of the control group. Furthermore, compared with the control group, the pulmonary artery pressure, heart rate, and PaCO2 were lower in the observation group. There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups of children in the relevant clinical indicators (total bilirubin, hemoglobin, SPO2, etc.) after exchange transfusion. After 1 h of blood exchange and after blood exchange, the salivary cortisol levels of the observation group were lower than the control group. The difference was statistically significant. The NAA/Cho and Cho/Cr values of the two groups of children were also significantly different. Conclusion During blood exchange, unstable hemodynamics substantially impact organ oxygenation. The results of this study suggest that HHFNC and specific ventilation pressure support can improve the respiratory rate and help maintain blood flow stability and organ oxygenation. This technique can also reduce adverse reactions caused by blood exchange, minimizing patient stress and reducing the impact on brain metabolism.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) affects millions of newborns annually, especially in low-resource settings. Real-time monitoring of hypoxic-ischemic brain damage is urgently needed for assessment of severity and management of neonates with birth asphyxia. Aim of the work is monitoring of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)-measured cerebral regional oxygen saturation (cRSO2) and cerebral fractional tissue oxygen extraction (FTOE) in neonates after birth asphyxia in relation to their clinical course. STUDY DESIGN Forty asphyxiated-term and near-term neonates with mild to severe HIE admitted at neonatal intensive care unit of Alexandria University Maternity Hospital from March to October 2019, received therapeutic hypothermia (TH) and had continuous NIRS monitoring of cRSO2 for 72 hours. Infants were categorized into HIE with seizing and nonseizing groups, and abnormal and normal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) groups. RESULTS Clinical seizures (CS) occurred in 15 (37.5%) of HIE neonates and 13.3% of them died (n = 2). In the current study, significantly higher cRSO2 and lower FTOE values were found in the seizing infants as compared with nonseizing group (p < 0.001). NIRS-measured day 2-cRSO2 and day 1-FTOE were associated with CS in newborns with HIE and day 1-cRSO2 and FTOE were associated with abnormal MRI at 1 month of age. cRSO2 values were found to correlate positively with initial Thompson score especially in days 1 and 2. Further, neonates with CS were more likely to have MRI abnormalities at follow-up. CONCLUSION NIRS measures may highlight differences between asphyxiated neonates who develop CS or later MRI abnormalities and those who do not. KEY POINTS · Day 1 FTOE is the early and sensitive predictor for both clinical seizures and abnormal MRI.. · Cerebral oxygenation metrics help in selecting patients in urgent need of an early MRI scan.. · Cerebral oxygenation metrics can be used hand in hand with clinical assessment using Thompson score at admission to select patient candidate for therapeutic hypothermia..

Early assessment of injury with optical markers in a piglet model of neonatal encephalopathy. Pediatr Res 2023; 94:1675-1683.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Opportunities for adjunct therapies with cooling in neonatal encephalopathy are imminent; however, robust biomarkers of early assessment are lacking. Using an optical platform of broadband near-infrared spectroscopy and diffuse correlation spectroscopy to directly measure mitochondrial metabolism (oxCCO), oxygenation (HbD), cerebral blood flow (CBF), we hypothesised optical indices early (1-h post insult) after hypoxia-ischaemia (HI) predicts insult severity and outcome. METHODS Nineteen newborn large white piglets underwent continuous neuromonitoring as controls or following moderate or severe HI. Optical indices were expressed as mean semblance (phase difference) and coherence (spectral similarity) between signals using wavelet analysis. Outcome markers included the lactate/N-acetyl aspartate (Lac/NAA) ratio at 6 h on proton MRS and TUNEL cell count. RESULTS CBF-HbD semblance (cerebrovascular dysfunction) correlated with BGT and white matter (WM) Lac/NAA (r2 = 0.46, p = 0.004, r2 = 0.45, p = 0.004, respectively), TUNEL cell count (r2 = 0.34, p = 0.02) and predicted both initial insult (r2 = 0.62, p = 0.002) and outcome group (r2 = 0.65 p = 0.003). oxCCO-HbD semblance (cerebral metabolic dysfunction) correlated with BGT and WM Lac/NAA (r2 = 0.34, p = 0.01 and r2 = 0.46, p = 0.002, respectively) and differentiated between outcome groups (r2 = 0.43, p = 0.01). CONCLUSION Optical markers of both cerebral metabolic and vascular dysfunction 1 h after HI predicted injury severity and subsequent outcome in a pre-clinical model. IMPACT This study highlights the possibility of using non-invasive optical biomarkers for early assessment of injury severity following neonatal encephalopathy, relating to the outcome. Continuous cot-side monitoring of these optical markers can be useful for disease stratification in the clinical population and for identifying infants who might benefit from future adjunct neuroprotective therapies beyond cooling.

Abstract
Objectives To determine the correlation and agreement between the SenSmart™ and the INVOS™ devices of neonatal cerebral regional oxygen saturation (CrSO2) measurements using neonatal sensors. The secondary objective was to develop a regression model that predicts CrSO2-INVOS values using CrSO2-SenSmart indices and determine whether the values between the devices are interchangeable. Methods A prospective, cross-sectional study was conducted in infants during the first 4 weeks of life. Simultaneous, bilateral CrSO2 was measured using the SenSmart™X100 (CrSO2-SenSmart) or INVOS™ 5100C (CrSO2-INVOS) device in each frontoparietal area for 2 h. Five-minute CrSO2 values were extracted for analysis. Results Thirty infants were recruited with 720 pairwise measurements and 26 (84%) were evaluated in the first week of life. Mean gestational age of the preterm and term infants was [30.9 ± 2.8 (n = 14) and 38.8 ± 1.1 (n = 16)] weeks, respectively. Overall CrSO2- was 77.08 ± 9.70% and 71.45 ± 12.74% for the SenSmart and INVOS, respectively (p < 0.001). The correlation coefficient (r) between the CrSO2-SenSmart and INVOS was 0.20 (p < 0.001). The mean difference between the CrSO2-SenSmart and INVOS was 5.63 ± 13.87% with -21.6% to 32.8% limits of agreement. The r and mean difference was 0.39 (p < 0.001) and 8.87 ± 12.58% in preterm infants, and 0.06 (p = 0.27) and 2.79 ± 14.34 in term infants. Conclusion The CrSO2-SenSmart tended to read higher than the CrSO2-INVOS device. There was no correlation between the CrSO2-SenSmart and the CrSO2-INVOS in term infants and it was weak in preterms. Due to imprecise agreement, the CrSO2-SenSmart values are not interchangeable with those of the CrSO2-INVOS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) in infants can have long-term adverse neurodevelopmental effects and markedly reduce quality of life. Both the initial hypoperfusion and the subsequent rapid reperfusion can cause deleterious effects in brain tissue. Cerebral blood flow (CBF) assessment in newborns with HIE can help detect abnormalities in brain perfusion to guide therapy and prognosticate patient outcomes. STUDY DESIGN The review will provide an overview of the pathophysiological implications of CBF derangements in neonatal HIE, current and emerging techniques for CBF quantification, and the potential to utilize CBF as a physiologic target in managing neonates with acute HIE. CONCLUSION The alterations of CBF in infants during hypoxia-ischemia have been studied by using different neuroimaging techniques, including nitrous oxide and xenon clearance, transcranial Doppler ultrasonography, contrast-enhanced ultrasound, arterial spin labeling MRI, 18F-FDG positron emission tomography, near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), functional NIRS, and diffuse correlation spectroscopy. Consensus is lacking regarding the clinical significance of CBF estimations detected by these different modalities. Heterogeneity in the imaging modality used, regional versus global estimations of CBF, time for the scan, and variables impacting brain perfusion and cohort clinical characteristics should be considered when translating the findings described in the literature to routine practice and implementation of therapeutic interventions. KEY POINTS · Hypoxic-ischemic injury in infants can result in adverse long-term neurologic sequelae.. · Cerebral blood flow is a useful biomarker in neonatal hypoxic-ischemic injury.. · Imaging modality, variables affecting cerebral blood flow, and patient characteristics affect cerebral blood flow assessment..

Abstract
Perinatal asphyxia represents the first cause of severe neurological disabilities and the second cause of neonatal death in term-born babies. Currently, no treatment can prevent immediate cell death from necrosis, but some therapeutic interventions, such as therapeutic hypothermia (TH), can reduce delayed cell death from apoptosis. TH significantly improves the combined outcome of mortality or major neurodevelopmental disability, but the number of patients to be treated is 7 to get 1 child with no adverse neurological outcome. The aim of this educational review is to analyze the other care strategies to be implemented to improve the neurological outcome of children with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). Hypocapnia, hypoglycemia, pain control, and functional brain monitoring are recognized as appropriate approaches to improve outcome in critically ill infants with HIE. Pharmacologic neuroprotective adjuncts are currently under investigation. New drugs such as allopurinol and melatonin seem to provide positive effects although more randomized controlled trials are required to establish the effective therapeutic scheme. In the meantime, sustaining the respiratory, metabolic, and cardiovascular system during TH can be a valuable aid in managing and treating the patient with HIE in an optimal way.

Abstract
In neonates with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, the computation of wavelet coherence between electroencephalogram (EEG) power and regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) is a promising method for the assessment of neurovascular coupling (NVC), which in turn is a promising marker for brain injury. However, instabilities in arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2) limit the robustness of previously proposed methods. Therefore, we propose the use of partial wavelet coherence, which can eliminate the influence of SpO2. Furthermore, we study the added value of the novel NVC biomarkers for identification of brain injury compared to traditional EEG and NIRS biomarkers. 18 neonates with HIE were monitored for 72 h and classified into three groups based on short-term MRI outcome. Partial wavelet coherence was used to quantify the coupling between C3-C4 EEG bandpower (2-16 Hz) and rSO2, eliminating confounding effects of SpO2. NVC was defined as the amount of significant coherence in a frequency range of 0.25-1 mHz. Partial wavelet coherence successfully removed confounding influences of SpO2 when studying the coupling between EEG and rSO2. Decreased NVC was related to worse MRI outcome. Furthermore, the combination of NVC and EEG spectral edge frequency (SEF) improved the identification of neonates with mild vs moderate and severe MRI outcome compared to using EEG SEF alone. Partial wavelet coherence is an effective method for removing confounding effects of SpO2, improving the robustness of automated assessment of NVC in long-term EEG-NIRS recordings. The obtained NVC biomarkers are more sensitive to MRI outcome than traditional rSO2 biomarkers and provide complementary information to EEG biomarkers.

Abstract
Continuous neuromonitoring in the neonatal intensive care unit allows for bedside assessment of brain oxygenation and perfusion as well as cerebral function and seizure identification. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) reflects the balance between oxygen delivery and consumption, and use of multisite monitoring of regional oxygenation provides organ-specific assessment of perfusion. With understanding of the underlying principles of NIRS as well as the physiologic factors which impact oxygenation and perfusion of the brain, kidneys and bowel, changes in neonatal physiology can be more easily recognized by bedside providers, allowing for appropriate, targeted interventions. Amplitude-integrated electroencephalography (aEEG) allows continuous bedside evaluation of cerebral background activity patterns indicative of the level of cerebral function as well as identification of seizure activity. Normal background patterns are reassuring while abnormal background patterns indicate abnormal brain function. Combining brain monitoring information together with continuous vital sign monitoring (blood pressure, pulse oximetry, heart rate and temperature) at the bedside may be described as multi-modality monitoring and facilitates understanding of physiology. We describe 10 cases in critically ill neonates that demonstrate how comprehensive multimodal monitoring provided greater recognition of the hemodynamic status and its impact on cerebral oxygenation and cerebral function thereby informing treatment decisions. We anticipate that there are numerous other uses of NIRS as well as NIRS in conjunction with aEEG which are yet to be reported.

Abstract
Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a technology that is easy to use and can provide helpful information about organ oxygenation and perfusion by measuring regional tissue oxygen saturation (rSO2) with near-infrared light. The sensors can be placed in different anatomical locations to monitor rSO2 levels in several organs. While NIRS is not without limitations, this equipment is now becoming increasingly integrated into modern healthcare practice with the goal of achieving better outcomes for patients. It can be particularly applicable in the monitoring of pediatric patients because of their size, and especially so in infant patients. Infants are ideal for NIRS monitoring as nearly all of their vital organs lie near the skin surface which near-infrared light penetrates through. In addition, infants are a difficult population to evaluate with traditional invasive monitoring techniques that normally rely on the use of larger catheters and maintaining vascular access. Pediatric clinicians can observe rSO2 values in order to gain insight about tissue perfusion, oxygenation, and the metabolic status of their patients. In this way, NIRS can be used in a non-invasive manner to either continuously or periodically check rSO2. Because of these attributes and capabilities, NIRS can be used in various pediatric inpatient settings and on a variety of patients who require monitoring. The primary objective of this review is to provide pediatric clinicians with a general understanding of how NIRS works, to discuss how it currently is being studied and employed, and how NIRS could be increasingly used in the near future, all with a focus on infant management.

Abstract
Perinatal hypoxia-ischemia (HI) is still a significant contributor to mortality and adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes in term and preterm infants. HI brain injury evolves over hours to days, and involves complex interactions between the endogenous protective and pathological processes. Understanding the timing of evolution of injury is vital to guide treatment. Post-HI recovery is associated with a typical neurophysiological profile, with stereotypic changes in cerebral perfusion and oxygenation. After the initial recovery, there is a delayed, prolonged reduction in cerebral perfusion related to metabolic suppression, followed by secondary deterioration with hyperperfusion and increased cerebral oxygenation, associated with altered neurovascular coupling and impaired cerebral autoregulation. These changes in cerebral perfusion are associated with the stages of evolution of injury and injury severity. Further, iatrogenic factors can also affect cerebral oxygenation during the early period of deranged metabolism, and improving clinical management may improve neuroprotection. We will review recent evidence that changes in cerebral oxygenation and metabolism after HI may be useful biomarkers of prognosis.

Abstract
The assessment of systemic blood flow is a complex and comprehensive process with clinical, laboratory, and technological components. Despite recent advancements in technology, there is no perfect bedside tool to quantify systemic blood flow in infants that can be used for clinical decision making. Each option has its own merits and limitations, and evidence on the reliability of these physiology-based assessment processes is evolving. This article provides an extensive review of the interpretation and limitations of methods to assess systemic blood flow in infants, highlighting the importance of a comprehensive and multimodal approach in this population.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) was used to monitor intraoperative regional oxygen saturation (rSO2) during open (Op) and minimally invasive (MI) surgery performed in neonates (N) and children. MATERIALS AND METHODS NIRS sensors were applied to the forehead and flanks for cerebral rSO2 (C-rSO2) and renal rSO2 (R-rSO2), respectively. MI included laparoscopy (La), retroperitoneoscopy (Re) and thoracoscopy (Th). In children, Op and MI were major operations taking at least 3 h (MOp; MMI). Pathological desaturation (PD) was defined as > 20% deterioration in rSO2. RESULTS Mean ages at surgery were N: 5.2 ± 8.2 days, MOp: 2.4 ± 2.9 years, and MMI: 3.8 ± 4.3 years. Despite significantly shorter operative times in N (169 ± 94 min; p < 0.0001), PD was significantly worse; PD(C-rSO2): N = 14/35 (40.0%) versus MOp = 3/36 (8.3%) and MMI = 7/58 (12.1%); p = 0.0006, and PD(R-rSO2): N = 27/35 (77.1%) versus MOp = 6/36 (16.7%) and MMI = 7/58 (12.1%); p < 0.0001, respectively. PD(R-rSO2) occurred immediately with visceral reduction in NOp (Fig. 1) and PD was frequent during NMI(Th) (Fig. 2). rSO2 was stable throughout MOp and MMI (Fig. 3). Fig. 1 Pathological desaturation in renal rSO2 after visceral reduction for gastroschisis.

Cerebral and renal rSO2 did not appear to change according to operative time during major open and major minimally invasive surgery in children. rSO2 regional oxygen saturation CONCLUSIONS: NIRS is a non-invasive technique for monitoring rSO2 as an indicator of intraoperative stress and vascular perfusion. PD was so significant in neonates that intraoperative NIRS is highly recommended during thoracoscopy and procedures requiring visceral manipulation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE) remains one of the top 10 contributors to the global burden of disease. Early objective biomarkers are required. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) may provide a valuable insight into cerebral perfusion and metabolism. We aimed to determine whether early NIRS monitoring (<6 h of age) can predict outcome as defined by grade of encephalopathy, brain MRI findings, and/or neurodevelopmental outcome at 1-2 years in infants with HIE. METHODS We searched PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase, and The Cochrane Library databases (July 2019). Studies of infants born ≥36+0 weeks gestation with HIE who had NIRS recording commenced before 6 h of life were included. We planned to provide a narrative of all the studies included, and if similar clinically and methodologically, the results would be pooled in a meta-analysis to determine test accuracy. RESULTS Seven studies were included with a combined total of 161 infants. Only 1 study included infants with mild HIE. A range of different oximeters and probes were utilized with varying outcome measures making comparison difficult. Although some studies showed a trend towards higher cSO2 values before 6 h in infants with adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes, in the majority, this was not significant until beyond 24 h of life. CONCLUSION Very little data currently exists to assess the use of early NIRS to predict outcome in infants with HIE. Further studies using a standardized approach are required before NIRS can be evaluated as a potential objective assessment tool for early identification of at-risk infants.

Abstract
There is no ideal single gut tissue or inflammatory biomarker available to help to try and identify Necrotising Enterocolitis (NEC) before its clinical onset. Neonatologists are all too familiar with the devastating consequences of NEC, and despite many advances in neonatal care the mortality and morbidity associated with NEC remains significant. In this article we review Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) as a method of measuring regional gut tissue oxygenation. We discuss its current and potential future applications, including considering its effectiveness as a possible new weapon in the early identification of NEC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to determine the predictive power of the combined use of neurophysiological (amplitude-integrated electroencephalography [aEEG], near-infrared spectroscopy [NIRS]) methods and neuroimaging (magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]) for long-term outcome prediction in neonates with hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE). STUDY DESIGN Prospective cohort study of 56 patients with moderate to severe HIE and hypothermia treatment at the Medical University of Vienna between 2008 and 2020. aEEG and NIRS were recorded continuously over a period of >4 days (102 h) starting at the initiation of hypothermia treatment, MRI was performed at a median age of 8 days. Receiver operating characteristic curves and area under the curve were calculated to evaluate the prognostic ability of aEEG, NIRS, and MRI parameters for outcome assessed via Bayley Scales of Infant Development 3rd edition at 2 years of age. RESULTS Combined aEEG and MRI parameters showed highest predictive power regarding long-term outcome. The highest area under the curve values (0.96-0.99) were obtained for aEEG (combination of background pattern and sleep-wake cycling) between 66 and 102 h after initiation of hypothermia in combination with MRI findings. NIRS parameters did not differ significantly between infants with favourable and adverse outcome. CONCLUSIONS Combined aEEG and MRI parameter scores were more predictive than single parameter scores. No further improvement was observed when combining aEEG/MRI with NIRS data.

Abstract
Preterm birth continues to be associated with neurodevelopmental problems including cerebral palsy. Cystic white matter injury is still the major neuropathology underlying cerebral palsy, affecting 1-3% of preterm infants. Although rates have gradually fallen over time, the pathogenesis and evolution of cystic white matter injury are still poorly understood. Hypoxia-ischemia (HI) remains an important contributor yet there is no established treatment to prevent injury. Clinically, serial ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging studies typically show delayed development of cystic lesions 2 to 4 weeks after birth. This raises the important and unresolved question as to whether this represents slow evolution of injury occurring around the time of birth, or repeated injury over many weeks after birth. There is increasing evidence that tertiary injury after HI can contribute to impairment of white and grey matter maturation. In the present review, we discuss preclinical evidence that severe, cystic white matter injury can evolve for many weeks after acute HI and is associated with microglia activity. This suggests the intriguing hypothesis that the tertiary phase of injury is not as subtle as often thought and that there may be a window of therapeutic opportunity for one to two weeks after hypoxic-ischemic injury to prevent delayed cystic lesions and so further reduce the risk of cerebral palsy after preterm birth.

Abstract
Several bedside and laboratory neuromonitoring tools are currently used in neonatal encephalopathy (NE) to assess 1) brain function [amplitude-integrated electroencephalogram (aEEG) and EEG], 2) cerebral oxygenation delivery and consumption [near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)] and 3) blood and cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers. The aim of the review is to provide the role of neuromonitoring in understanding the development of brain injury in these newborns and better predict their long-term outcome. Simultaneous use of these monitoring modalities may improve our ability to provide meaningful prognostic information regarding ongoing treatments. Evidence will be summarized in this review for each of these modalities, by describing (1) the methods, (2) the clinical evidence in context of NE both before and with hypothermia, and (3) the research and future directions.

Abstract
Abnormal patterns of cerebral perfusion/oxygenation are associated with neuronal damage. In preterm neonates, hypoxemia, hypo-/hypercapnia and lack of cerebral autoregulation are related to peri-intraventricular hemorrhages and white matter injury. Reperfusion damage after perinatal hypoxic ischemia in term neonates seems related with cerebral hyperoxygenation. Since biological tissue is transparent for near infrared (NIR) light, NIR-spectroscopy (NIRS) is a noninvasive bedside tool to monitor brain oxygenation and perfusion. This review focuses on early assessment and guiding abnormal cerebral oxygenation/perfusion patterns to possibly reduce brain injury. In term infants, early patterns of brain oxygenation helps to decide whether or not therapy (hypothermia) and add-on therapies should be considered. Further NIRS-related technical advances such as the use of (functional) NIRS allowing simultaneous estimation and integrating of heart rate, respiration rate and monitoring cerebral autoregulation will be discussed.

Abstract
There is a critical need for development of real time physiological biomarkers for birth asphyxia that constitutes a major global public health burden. Our recent study (Scientific Reports, V10:9183, 2020) established a novel non-invasive neurovascular coupling (NVC) assessment in newborns using dynamic wavelet transform coherence (WTC) analysis irrespective of different aEEG algorithms. As an extended study, the current paper examines whether the variability in processed EEG and amplitude-EEG (aEEG) outputs would impact the determination of NVC in newborns with encephalopathy. Concurrent processed EEG tracings and regional near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)-based cerebral tissue oxygen saturation (SctO2) readings during a period of twenty hours in their first day of life were selected and processed in this study. After bandpass-filtered in 2–15 Hz, rectified, and down-sampled at 0.21 Hz, the processed EEG tracings along with NIRS-SctO2 (0.21 Hz) were used to perform WTC analysis, followed by comparison of WTC-metrics between SctO2-processed EEG coherence and SctO2-aEEG coherence using Bland–Altman statistics. Our results demonstrated high and significant correlation (R2 = 0.96, p < 0.001) between NVC assessments by SctO2-processed EEG and SctO2-aEEG coherence, confirming that band-passed, rectified, and down-sampled processed EEG, or aEEG, can be paired with NIRS-SctO2 to assess NVC in newborns with encephalopathy. Findings indicate the feasibility of a simpler approach to NVC in neonates by using directly processed EEG, instead of aEEG.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the association of cerebral oxygen saturation (CrSO2) collected by near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) during therapeutic hypothermia (TH) and rewarming with evidence of brain injury on post-rewarming MRI. STUDY DESIGN This retrospective cohort study included 49 infants, who received TH for mild to severe neonatal encephalopathy. Of those, 26 presented with brain injury assessed by a novel MRI grading system, whereas 23 had normal MRI scans. RESULTS CrSO2 increased significantly from the first to the second day of TH in infants with brain injury, whereas it remained stable in patients with normal MRI. Increasing mean CrSO2 values during rewarming was associated with brain injury (aOR 1.14; 95% CI 1.00-1.28), specifically with gray matter (GM) injury (aOR 1.23; 95% CI 1.02-1.49). The area under the ROC curve showed an excellent discrimination for GM involvement. CONCLUSION Clinically applied NIRS during TH and rewarming can assist in identifying the risk for brain injury.

Abstract
Neonatal encephalopathy (NE) in term and near-term infants is a significant global health problem; the worldwide burden of disease remains high despite the introduction of therapeutic hypothermia. Assessment of injury severity and effective management in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) relies on multiple monitoring modalities from systemic to brain-specific. Current neuromonitoring tools provide information utilized for seizure management, injury stratification, and prognostication, whilst systemic monitoring ensures multi-organ dysfunction is recognized early and supported wherever needed. The neuromonitoring technologies currently used in NE however, have limitations in either their availability during the active treatment window or their reliability to prognosticate and stratify injury confidently in the early period following insult. There is therefore a real need for a neuromonitoring tool that provides cot side, early and continuous monitoring of brain health which can reliably stratify injury severity, monitor response to current and emerging treatments, and prognosticate outcome. The clinical use of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) technology has increased in recent years. Research studies within this population have also increased, alongside the development of both instrumentation and signal processing techniques. Increasing use of commercially available cerebral oximeters in the NICU, and the introduction of advanced optical measurements using broadband NIRS (BNIRS), frequency domain NIRS (FDNIRS), and diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) have widened the scope by allowing the direct monitoring of oxygen metabolism and cerebral blood flow, both key to understanding pathophysiological changes and predicting outcome in NE. This review discusses the role of optical neuromonitoring in NE and why this modality may provide the next significant piece of the puzzle toward understanding the real time state of the injured newborn brain.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine if decreased cerebral oxygenation or altered cerebral autoregulation as measured by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in the first 96 postnatal hours is associated with an increased risk of death or severe neuroradiographic abnormalities in very preterm infants. STUDY DESIGN The Early NIRS prospective, multicenter study enrolled very preterm infants with a birth weight of <1250 g from 6 tertiary neonatal intensive care units. Mean arterial blood pressure and cerebral oxygen saturation (Csat) were continuously monitored using a neonatal sensor until 96 hours of age. Moving window correlations between Csat and mean arterial blood pressure determined time periods with altered cerebral autoregulation, and percentiles of correlation were compared between infants with and without the adverse outcome of mortality or severe neuroradiographic abnormalities by early cranial ultrasound. RESULTS Of 103 subjects with mean gestational age of 26 weeks, 21 (20%) died or had severe neuroradiographic abnormalities. Infants with adverse outcomes had a lower mean Csat (67 ± 9%) compared with those without adverse outcomes (72 ± 7%; P = .02). A Csat of <50% was identified as a cut-point for identifying infants with adverse outcome (area under the curve, 0.76). Infants with adverse outcomes were more likely to have significant positive or negative correlations between Csat and mean arterial blood pressure, indicating impaired cerebral autoregulation (P = .006). CONCLUSIONS Early NIRS monitoring may detect periods of lower cerebral oxygenation and altered cerebral autoregulation, identifying preterm infants at risk for mortality or neuroradiographic injury. An improved understanding of the relationship between altered hemodynamics and cerebral oxygenation may inform future strategies to prevent brain injury.

Cerebral blood flow velocity and oxygenation correlate predominantly with right ventricular function in cooled neonates with moderate-severe hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. Eur J Pediatr 2020; 179:1609-1618.

Abstract
The relationship between right ventricular (RV) function and cerebral blood flow (CBF) velocity and cerebral oxygenation was assessed in neonates with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) treated with therapeutic hypothermia (TH). Echocardiographic, transcranial Doppler, and hemodynamic data from 37 neonates with moderate-severe HIE + TH were reviewed. Twenty healthy newborns served as controls. Cardiac dysfunction in HIE + TH was characterized by a predominant RV dysfunction, with concomitantly reduced CBF velocity. A significant correlation was found between CBF velocity and tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE), RV output (RVO), and stroke volume (SVRV), as well as with left ventricular output and stroke volume. Brain oxygenation (rSO2) correlated significantly with RVO, SVRV, TAPSE, ejection fraction, and fractional shortening, whereas cerebral fractional tissue oxygen extraction (FTOEc) correlated with RVO, SVRV, RV myocardial performance index, and superior vena cava flow. CBF velocity and cerebral NIRS correlations were stronger with parameters of right ventricular performance.Conclusion: CBF velocity and brain oxygenation correlate predominantly with RV function in HIE + TH. This suggests a preferential contribution of RV performance to cerebral hemodynamics in this context. What is Known: • Neonates with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy frequently exhibit alterations of cardiac function and cerebral blood flow. • These are considered organ-specific consequences of perinatal asphyxia. What is New: • We show that cerebral blood flow velocity and brain oxygenation are correlated predominantly with right ventricular function during therapeutic hypothermia. • This suggests a potential direct contribution of right ventricular performance to cerebral hemodynamics in this context.

Abstract
Term and preterm infants often present with adverse conditions after birth resulting in abnormal vital functions and severe organ failure, which are associated or sometimes caused by low oxygen and/or blood supply. Brain injury may lead to substantial mortality and morbidity often affecting long-term outcome. Standard monitoring techniques in the NICU focus on arterial oxygen supply and hemodynamics and include respiratory rate, heart rate, blood pressure and arterial oxygen saturation as measured by pulse oximetry but provide only limited information on end organ oxygen delivery. Near-Infrared Spectroscopy can bridge this gap by displaying continuous measurements of tissue oxygen saturation, providing information on the balance of oxygen delivery and consumption in organs of interest. Future techniques using multi-wavelength devices may provide additional information on oxidative metabolism in real time adding important information.

Abstract
Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has been available in research and clinical practice for more than four decades. Recently, there have been numerous publications and substantial developments in the field. This article describes the clinical application of NIRS in relation to current guidelines, with a focus on pediatric and cardiac anesthesia. It discusses technical and physiological principles, pitfalls in clinical use and presents (patho)physiological influencing factors and derived variables, such as fractional oxygen extraction (FOE) and the cerebral oxygen index (COx). Recommendations for the interpretation of NIRS values in connection with influencing factors, such as oxygen transport capacity, gas exchange and circulation as well as an algorithm for cardiac anesthesia are presented. Limitations of the method and the lack of comparability of values from different devices as well as generally accepted standard values are explained. Technical differences and advantages compared to pulse oxymetry and transcranial Doppler sonography are illuminated. Finally, the prognostic significance and requirements for future clinical studies are discussed.

Abstract
Neonatal monitoring in neonatal intensive care is pushing the technological boundaries of newborn brain monitoring in order to improve patient outcome. There is an urgent need of a cot side, real time monitoring for assessment of brain injury severity and neurodevelopmental outcome, in particular for term newborn infants with hypoxic-ischemic brain injury. This topical review discusses why brain tissue metabolic monitoring is important in this group of infants and introduces the currently used neuromonitoring techniques for metabolic monitoring in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). New optical techniques that can monitor changes in brain metabolism together with brain hemodynamics at the cot side are presented. Early studies from these emerging technologies have demonstrated their potential to deliver continuous information regarding cerebral physiological changes in sick newborn infants in real time. The promises of these new tools as well as their potential limitations are discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Preterm infants with necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) are known to have worse neurodevelopmental outcomes, but there is no substantial evidence to support an underlying pathophysiology. We aimed to examine whether cerebral oxygenation differs in those infants who develop NEC compared to cerebral oxygenation in those who do not. METHODS We examined 48 infants <30 weeks' gestation admitted to a tertiary level NICU from October 2016 to May 2018. Infants with birth weight less than or equal to the second percentile, abnormal antenatal dopplers or twin-to-twin-transfusion-syndrome were excluded. Cerebral oximetry measurements were performed by using a near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) monitor weekly for 60 minutes, allowing measurement of cerebral tissue oxygenation index from the first week of life to 36 weeks postconceptional age. Weekly clinical status was also recorded. NEC was defined as greater than or equal to Bell stage 2. RESULTS The median birth weight was 884 g (range of 460-1600 g), the median weeks' gestational age was 26 + 3/7 (23 + 0/7 to 29 + 6/7), and 52% were girls. In total, 276 NIRS measurements were completed, and 7 infants developed NEC. NIRS measurements from 1 infant with NEC and 4 infants without NEC who developed hemorrhagic parenchymal infarcts were excluded from analysis. Infants who developed NEC had significantly lower cerebral tissue oxygenation index than those who did not (P = .011), even when adjusted for confounders, including gestational age, birth weight, patent ductus arteriosus, enteral feeds, sex, ethnicity, and hemoglobin. CONCLUSIONS Infants with NEC have significantly lower cerebral tissue oxygenation throughout their neonatal intensive care stay in comparison with those who did not develop NEC. This is a novel finding and could explain their worse neurodevelopmental outcome.

Abstract
Background: Neonatal hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) remains a significant cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Cerebral near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) can provide cot side continuous information about changes in brain hemodynamics, oxygenation and metabolism in real time. Objective: To perform a systematic review of cerebral NIRS monitoring in term and near-term infants with HIE. Search Methods: A systematic search was performed in Ovid EMBASE and Medline database from inception to November 2019. The search combined three broad categories: measurement (NIRS monitoring), disease condition [hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE)] and subject category (newborn infants) using a stepwise approach as per PRISMA guidance. Selection Criteria: Only human studies published in English were included. Data Collection and Analysis: Two authors independently selected, assessed the quality, and extracted data from the studies for this review. Results: Forty-seven studies on term and near-term infants following HIE were identified. Most studies measured multi-distance NIRS based cerebral tissue saturation using monitors that are referred to as cerebral oximeters. Thirty-nine studies were published since 2010; eight studies were published before this. Fifteen studies reviewed the neurodevelopmental outcome in relation to NIRS findings. No randomized study was identified. Conclusion: Commercial NIRS cerebral oximeters can provide important information regarding changes in cerebral oxygenation and hemodynamics following HIE and can be particularly helpful when used in combination with other neuromonitoring tools. Optical measurements of brain metabolism using broadband NIRS and cerebral blood flow using diffuse correlation spectroscopy add additional pathophysiological information. Further randomized clinical trials and large observational studies are necessary with proper study design to assess the utility of NIRS in predicting neurodevelopmental outcome and guiding therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Despite treatment with hypothermia, 40% of newborns with hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy die or suffer moderate to severe disability. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) could be a useful, non-invasive tool to establish the prognosis. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the prognostic value of NIRS in predicting neurodevelopmental outcomes at 18 to 36 months in newborns with hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy, and to establish the time points and cut-off values of regional cerebral oxygen saturation that exhibit the strongest correlation to these outcomes. PATIENTS AND METHODS The study included all term newborns with hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy managed with hypothermia and NIRS between 2013 and 2016. We established 3 outcome categories: normal neurodevelopment, moderate disability and severe disability. RESULTS The sample comprised 28 newborns (median gestational age, 39 weeks; median birth weight, 3195g). The median regional cerebral oxygen saturation increased from 65% to 85% at 48hours post birth. Neurodevelopmental outcomes were normal in 28.6%, while 35.7% developed moderate disability and 35.7% severe disability; 3 patients died. We found a statistically significant difference between groups at 48hours (P=.005) and after hypothermia (P=.03), with higher values in patients with disability. When we compared patients in the severe disability group with the other groups, we found a statistically significant area under the ROC curve at 48hours of 0.872 (P=.001) applying a regional cerebral oxygen saturation cutoff of 83.5%. After hypothermia, regional cerebral oxygen saturation values below 66.0% (AUC, 0.794; P=.017) predicted normal development, while values above 82% (AUC, 0.881; P=.001) predicted severe disability. CONCLUSIONS NIRS seems to be a valuable tool to predict neurodevelopmental outcomes in patients with hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy, even after hypothermia, with higher cerebral oxygen saturation values in patients with disability.

Abstract
AbstractThe objectives of the study were to evaluate the prognostic utility of bedside monitoring tools for hypoxic–ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) outcome and develop a prognostic predictive model. This retrospective study reviewed neonatal HIE treated with hypothermia between 2013 and 2016. Continuous video electroencephalography (vEEG) recordings scored for background electrocerebral activity, seizure, and sleep–wake cycles, and rSO2 data were stratified by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) severity. The vEEG and rSO2 were combined in a predictive model. The analysis included 38 patients. The rSO2 was significantly higher in the severe group. vEEG showed early and persistent maximal suppression in the severe group. The predictive correlation of the rSO2 improves when combined with the vEEG.

Abstract
Rationale: Asphyxiated neonates with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) are at risk of myocardial dysfunction; however, echocardiography studies are limited and little is known about the relationship between hemodynamics and brain injury.Objectives: To analyze the association between severity of myocardial dysfunction and adverse outcome as defined by the composite of death and/or abnormal magnetic resonance imaging.Methods: Neonates with HIE undergoing therapeutic hypothermia were enrolled. Participants underwent echocardiography at 24 hours, 72 hours (before rewarming), and 96 hours (after rewarming). Cerebral hemodynamics were monitored by near-infrared spectroscopy and middle cerebral artery Doppler.Measurements and Main Results: Fifty-three patients with a mean gestation and birthweight of 38.8 ± 2.0 weeks and 3.33 ± 0.6 kg, respectively, were recruited. Thirteen patients (25%) had mild encephalopathy, 27 (50%) had moderate encephalopathy, and 13 (25%) had severe encephalopathy. Eighteen patients (34%) had an adverse outcome. Severity of cardiovascular illness (P < 0.001) and severity of neurologic insult (P = 0.02) were higher in neonates with adverse outcome. Right ventricle (RV) systolic performance at 24 hours was substantially lower than published normative data in all groups. At 24 hours, lower tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (P = 0.004) and RV fractional area change (P < 0.001), but not pulmonary hypertension, were independently associated with adverse outcome on logistic regression. High brain regional oxygen saturation (P = 0.007) and low middle cerebral artery resistive index (P = 0.04) were associated with RV dysfunction on post hoc analysis.Conclusions: RV dysfunction is associated with the risk of adverse outcome in asphyxiated patients with HIE undergoing hypothermia. Echocardiography may be a valuable diagnostic and prognostic tool in this vulnerable population.

Abstract
Hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD) occurs due to intrauterine hypoxia ischemia influencing the energy supply for fetal brain cells, which affects the metabolism of the brain to make the brain suffer a severe damage. Erythropoietin (EPO), which regulates hemacytopoiesis, is a kind of cytokine. EPO is sensitive to hypoxia ischemia. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of EPO on the expression of Fas/FasL in brain tissues of neonatal rats with HIBD. Neonatal rats were assigned randomly to sham, HIBD, and EPO groups. Five time points for observation were 6, 12, 24, 48, and 72 h after the HIBD rat model had been established, respectively. In the HIBD group, Fas/FasL expression began to rise at 6 h, reached the peak at 12–24 h, and dropped from 24 h. In the EPO group, the expression of Fas/FasL was lower than those in HIBD group at 12, 24, and 48 h (P<0.05). Our findings suggest that EPO may reduce cell apoptosis after hypoxic-ischemic damage through reduction of the expression of Fas and FasL, and that optimal therapeutic time window is 6–24 h after HIBD.

Abstract
There is a need for a method of real-time assessment of brain metabolism during neonatal hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE). We have used broadband near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to monitor cerebral oxygenation and metabolic changes in 50 neonates with HIE undergoing therapeutic hypothermia treatment. In 24 neonates, 54 episodes of spontaneous decreases in peripheral oxygen saturation (desaturations) were recorded between 6 and 81 h after birth. We observed differences in the cerebral metabolic responses to these episodes that were related to the predicted outcome of the injury, as determined by subsequent magnetic resonance spectroscopy derived lactate/N-acetyl-aspartate. We demonstrated that a strong relationship between cerebral metabolism (broadband NIRS-measured cytochrome-c-oxidase (CCO)) and cerebral oxygenation was associated with unfavourable outcome; this is likely to be due to a lower cerebral metabolic rate and mitochondrial dysfunction in severe encephalopathy. Specifically, a decrease in the brain tissue oxidation state of CCO greater than 0.06 µM per 1 µM brain haemoglobin oxygenation drop was able to predict the outcome with 64% sensitivity and 79% specificity (receiver operating characteristic area under the curve = 0.73). With further work on the implementation of this methodology, broadband NIRS has the potential to provide an early, cotside, non-invasive, clinically relevant metabolic marker of perinatal hypoxic-ischaemic injury.

Brain Activity and Cerebral Oxygenation After Perinatal Arterial Ischemic Stroke Are Associated With Neurodevelopment. Stroke 2019; 50:2668-2676. [PMID: 31390967 PMCID: PMC6756254 DOI: 10.1161/strokeaha.119.025346] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2019] [Revised: 05/15/2019] [Accepted: 06/18/2019] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Background and Purpose- In infants with perinatal arterial ischemic stroke (PAIS), early prognosis of neurodevelopmental outcome is important to adequately inform parents and caretakers. Early continuous neuromonitoring after PAIS may improve early prognosis. Our aim was to study early cerebral electrical activity and oxygenation measured by amplitude-integrated electroencephalography (aEEG) and near-infrared spectroscopy in term neonates with PAIS and relate these to the development of cerebral palsy and cognitive deficit. Methods- aEEG patterns and regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rScO2) levels of both hemispheres were studied for 120 hours from the first clinical symptoms of PAIS (ie, seizures) onward. Multivariable analyses were used to investigate the association between aEEG, near-infrared spectroscopy, clinical variables, and neurodevelopmental outcome. Results- In 52 patients with PAIS (gestational age, 40.4±1.4 weeks; birth weight, 3282±479 g), median time to a continuous background pattern was longer in the ipsilesional compared with the contralesional hemisphere (13.5 versus 10.0 hours; P<0.05). rScO2 decreased over time in both hemispheres but less in the ipsilesional one, resulting in a rScO2 asymmetry ratio of 4.5% (interquartile range, -4.3% to 5.9%; P<0.05) between hemispheres from day 3 after symptoms onward. Both time to normal background pattern and asymmetry in rScO2 were negatively affected by gestational age, size of the PAIS, use of antiepileptic drugs, and mechanical ventilation. After correction for size of the PAIS on magnetic resonance imaging, a slower recovery of background pattern on ipsilesional aEEG and increased rScO2 asymmetry between hemispheres was related with an increased risk for cognitive deficit (<-1 SD) at a median of 24.0 (interquartile range, 18.4-24.4) months of age. Conclusions- Recovery of background pattern on aEEG and cerebral oxygenation are both affected by PAIS and related to neurocognitive development. Both measurements may provide valuable early prognostic information. Additionally, monitoring cerebral activity and oxygenation may be useful in identifying infants eligible for early neuroprotective interventions and to detect early effects of these interventions.

Abstract
Background: To evaluate the effectiveness/side-effects of osteopathic manipulation treatment (OMT) performed on the 7th post-natal day, on cerebro-splanchnic oximetry, tissue activation and hemodynamic redistribution in late preterm (LP) infants by using near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). Methods: Observational pretest-test study consisting in a cohort of 18 LPs who received OMT on the 7th post-natal day. NIRS monitoring was performed at three different time-points: 30 min before (T0), (30 min during (T1) and 30 min after OMT (T2). We evaluated the effects of OMT on the following NIRS parameters: cerebral (c), splanchnic (s) regional oximetry (rSO2), cerebro-splanchnic fractional tissue oxygen extraction (FTOE) and hemodynamic redistribution (CSOR). Results: crSO2 and cFTOE significantly (P < 0.001) improved at T0-T2; srSO2 significantly (P < 0.001) decreased and sFTOE increased at T0-T1. Furthermore, srSO2 and sFTOE significantly improved at T1-T2. Finally, CSOR significantly (P < 0.05) increased at T0-T2. Conclusions: The present data show that OMT enhances cerebro-splanchnic oximetry, tissue activation and hemodynamic redistribution in the absence of any adverse clinical or laboratory pattern. The results indicate the usefulness of further randomized studies in wider populations comparing the effectiveness of OMT with standard rehabilitation programs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the neurological function of newborn infants in the first minutes after birth using EEG. DESIGN AND PATIENTS We obtained electroencephalography (EEG) recordings in term infants following elective caesarean section. After delivery, disposable EEG electrodes were attached to the infants' scalp over the frontal and central regions bilaterally and EEG was recorded for 10 min. Both visual and quantitative measures were used to analyse the EEGs. SETTING The operative delivery theatre of Cork University Maternity Hospital, Ireland. RESULTS Forty-nine infants had EEG recordings over the frontal and central regions. The median (IQR) age at time of initial EEG recording was 3.0 (2.5-3.8) min. While movement artefact contaminated parts of many recordings, good-quality EEG, with mixed-frequency activity with a range of 25-50 μV, was observed in all infants. The majority of EEG spectral power was within the delta band: the median (IQR) relative delta power was 87.8% (83.7%-90%). Almost all (95%) spectral power was below a median (IQR) of 7.56 Hz (6.17-9.76 Hz). CONCLUSIONS EEG recording is very feasible in the immediate newborn period. This study provides valuable objective information about neurological function during this transitional period.

Abstract
Capabilities in real-time monitoring of internal physiological processes could inform pharmacological drug-delivery schedules, surgical intervention procedures and the management of recovery and rehabilitation. Current methods rely on external imaging techniques or implantable sensors, without the ability to provide continuous information over clinically relevant timescales, and/or with requirements in surgical procedures with associated costs and risks. Here, we describe injectable classes of photonic devices, made entirely of materials that naturally resorb and undergo clearance from the body after a controlled operational lifetime, for the spectroscopic characterization of targeted tissues and biofluids. As an example application, we show that the devices can be used for the continuous monitoring of cerebral temperature, oxygenation and neural activity in freely moving mice. These types of devices should prove useful in fundamental studies of disease pathology, in neuroscience research, in surgical procedures and in monitoring of recovery from injury or illness.

Abstract
Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy is a subtype of neonatal encephalopathy and a major contributor to global neonatal morbidity and mortality. Despite advances in obstetric and neonatal care there are still challenges in accurate determination of etiology of neonatal encephalopathy. Thus, identification of intrapartum risk factors and comprehensive evaluation of the neonate is important to determine the etiology and severity of neonatal encephalopathy. In developed countries, therapeutic hypothermia as a standard of care therapy for neonates with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy has proven to decrease incidence of death and neurodevelopmental disabilities, including cerebral palsy in surviving children. Advances in neuroimaging, brain monitoring modalities, and biomarkers of brain injury have improved the ability to diagnose, monitor, and treat newborns with encephalopathy. However, challenges remain in early identification of neonates at risk for hypoxic-ischemic brain injury, and determination of the timing and extent of brain injury. Using imaging studies such as Neonatal MRI and MR spectroscopy have proven to be most useful in predicting outcomes in infants with encephalopathy within the first week of life, although comprehensive neurodevelopmental assessments still remains the gold standard for determining long term outcomes. Future studies are needed to identify other newborns with encephalopathy that might benefit from therapeutic hypothermia and to determine the efficacy of other adjunctive neuroprotective strategies. This review focuses on newer evidence and advances in diagnoses and management of infants with neonatal encephalopathy, including novel therapies, as well as prognostication of outcomes to childhood.

Abstract
Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) has become the standard of care treatment to improve morbidity and mortality in infants with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). Although TH has clearly proven to be beneficial, recent studies suggest optimization of respiratory management as an approach to prevent further damage and improve neurodevelopmental outcome. The ventilatory management of asphyxiated neonates presents a challenge because both the hypoxic insult and TH have an impact on respiratory functions. Although the danger of recurrence of hypocapnia is well recognized, a brief period of severe hyperoxia also can be detrimental to the previously compromised brain and have been shown to increase the risk of adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes. Therefore, judicious ventilatory management with rigorous monitoring is of particular importance in patients with HIE. In the present review, we provide an overview of the currently available evidence on pulmonary function, respiratory morbidities, and ventilation strategies in HIE and we highlight possible future research directions.

Abstract
AIM Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has been proposed to provide reliable information concerning brain oximetry and tissue activation level in the perinatal period. We aimed to investigate whether NIRS brain patterns in healthy preterm (PT) and term (T) infants were gender- and gestational age (GA)-dependent. METHODS We conducted an observational study in 74 newborns, from consecutive singleton pregnancies, of whom 37 were born at term (male: n = 19 female: n = 18) and 37 (male: n = 18 female: n = 19) were PT. Cerebral oximetry (crSO2 ) and fractional tissue oxygen extraction (cFTOE), were recorded on the 5th day from birth. RESULTS crSO2 was significantly higher and cFTOE lower (p < 0.001, for both) in the PT female than male group. At term, crSO2 was significantly higher and cFTOE lower (p < 0.001, for both) in males. crSO2 (male: R = 0.84, p < 0.001; female: R = 0.74, p < 0.001) and cFTOE (male: R = 0.72, p < 0.001; female: R = 0.72, p < 0.001) in male and female groups correlated positively with GA at recording. CONCLUSION Different brain oximetry between males and females in PT a T infants, may suggest that in the perinatal period brain development is gender- and time-dependent. Data support the use of NIRS as a feasible tool for non-invasive cerebral monitoring.

Abstract
Objectives In this study it was aimed to investigate whether measurement of potential changes of cerebral oxygenation saturations due to ischemic or hemorrhagic cerebrovascular diseases have an early diagnostic and prognostic value. Methods Adult patients (≥18 years old) having acute ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke were included in the study. Patients under 18-year-old, those with incomplete data or suspicious diagnosis were excluded. The cerebral oxygen saturations of the patients were compared with the healthy subjects. Patients were also grouped according to their clinical outcomes; good clinical status (group 1) and poor clinical status (group 2). These groups were compared according to the patients’ cerebral oxygen saturations. Results The mean oxygen saturation of the patients and healthy people were similar (59.48% ± 10.6 versus 58.44% ± 9.6). There was no difference between patients and healthy population according to cerebral oxygen saturations. Furthermore, mean oxygen levels were also similar between the hemisphere without lesion and with lesion in the patients group (59.8% ± 11.8 versus 59.2% ± 10.4). When the patients were grouped according to their clinical status, there were 30 patients in group 1 and 15 in group 2. The cerebral oxygen saturations of the hemisphere with lesion were similar between these groups and no statistical difference was observed (59.2% ± 9.3 versus 59.1% ± 12.6, p = 0.9). There was also no statistical difference between the groups when delta oxygen levels of the affected and unaffected hemispheres of the groups were calculated (0.9% ± 6.1 versus 0.13% ± 8.4, p = 0.7). Conclusion Results of this study revealed that there was no difference in cerebral oxygen saturations measured by near-infrared cerebral oximetry system between the patients with cerebrovascular disease and healthy population. Furthermore, our results did not support that the cerebral oxygen saturations may be used for determining the prognosis of the patients with cerebrovascular disease.

Abstract
An artificial placenta (AP) using venovenous extracorporeal life support (VV-ECLS) could represent a paradigm shift in the treatment of extremely premature infants. However, AP support could potentially alter cerebral oxygen delivery. We assessed cerebral perfusion in fetal lambs on AP support using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and carotid arterial flow (CAF). Fourteen premature lambs at estimated gestational age (EGA) 130 days (term = 145) underwent cannulation of the right jugular vein and umbilical vein with initiation of VV-ECLS. An ultrasonic flow probe was placed around the right carotid artery (CA), and a NIRS sensor was placed on the scalp. Lambs were not ventilated. CAF, percentage of regional oxygen saturation (rSO2) as measured by NIRS, hemodynamic data, and blood gases were collected at baseline (native placental support) and regularly during AP support. Fetal lambs were maintained on AP support for a mean of 55 ± 27 hours. Baseline rSO2 on native placental support was 40% ± 3%, compared with a mean rSO2 during AP support of 50% ± 11% (p = 0.027). Baseline CAF was 27.4 ± 5.4 ml/kg/min compared with an average CAF of 23.7 ± 7.7 ml/kg/min during AP support. Cerebral fractional tissue oxygen extraction (FTOE) correlated negatively with CAF (r = -0.382; p < 0.001) and mean arterial pressure (r = -0.425; p < 0.001). FTOE weakly correlated with systemic O2 saturation (r = 0.091; p = 0.017). Cerebral oxygenation and blood flow in premature lambs are maintained during support with an AP. Cerebral O2 extraction is inversely related to carotid flow and is weakly correlated with systemic O2 saturation.

Abstract
Cerebral oximetry using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) provides continuous, noninvasive assessment of the degree of hemoglobin saturation of the brain tissue. Previous studies suggest that high values of regional cerebral tissue oxygen saturation (rScO2) during the first days in neonates with significant hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) are correlated with an adverse neurological outcome. However, the results are not consistent among the studies. To examine the correlation of rScO2 values and their variability over time with HIE severity, amplitude integrated electroencephalography (aEEG) background and seizure activity, neuron-specific enolase levels in cerebrospinal fluid, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings, and neurological outcome. Retrospective study that included all consecutive infants with moderate-to-severe HIE born at ≥35 weeks gestational age admitted between January 2011 and December 2014. NIRS monitoring was initiated at admission and maintained during therapeutic hypothermia up to 12 hours after rewarming. To analyze rScO2, different periods (0-6, 6-24, 24-48, 48-72, and 72-100 hours of life) and three ranges (<55%, 55-90%, >90%) were considered. Variability in each patient was considered ≤5% when changes in rScO2 values in all periods were ≤5%. Twenty-three newborns were included. Infants who suffered from severe HIE, seizures, abnormal aEEG background, altered MRI or death, and abnormal outcome had rScO2 values >90% and with less variability (≤5%). rScO2 values >90% and a lack of variability over time in infants with HIE during cooling provide useful information about the severity of neurological status.

Abstract
While cardiorespiratory monitoring is standard for newborns in the NICU, monitoring of brain hemodynamics and oxygenation is usually sporadic and targeted to newborns with suspected or confirmed neurologic disorders. This is unfortunate, since critically ill newborns, both preterm and term-born, are at high risk of brain injury and would benefit from improved techniques for continuous monitoring of brain hemodynamics and oxygenation, in addition to monitoring of systemic hemodynamics and oxygenation. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and, to a lesser extent, Doppler ultrasound are techniques that have been used in research and increasingly for clinical purposes to measure and monitor brain hemodynamics and oxygenation in newborns. NIRS monitoring can be useful for detection of diverse pathologic conditions that occur frequently in very preterm newborns and in selected populations of term newborns at risk for brain injury related to disturbances of systemic hemodynamics. This chapter reviews the current state of the art with regard to brain-monitoring techniques and the research directed at this important area, and it concludes with suggestions for the use of currently available tools to manage newborns at high risk of neurologic injury from disturbances in brain hemodynamics and oxygenation.

Abstract
Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) monitoring provides a noninvasive, bedside measure of cerebral and somatic oxygenation in neonates at risk for hemodynamic instability and brain injury. This technology has been increasingly utilized in the neonatal intensive care unit, however, clinicians perceive a lack of evidence for the added value of NIRS monitoring. We present six clinical scenarios illustrating the value of NIRS monitoring for the diagnosis and management of critically ill newborns.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Hypothermia (HT) improves the outcome of neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. Here, we investigated changes during HT in cortical electrical activity using amplitude-integrated electroencephalography (aEEG) and in cerebral blood volume (CBV) and cerebral hemoglobin oxygen saturation using near-infrared time-resolved spectroscopy (TRS) and compared the results with those obtained during normothermia (NT) after a hypoxic-ischemic (HI) insult in a piglet model of asphyxia. We previously reported that a greater increase in CBV can indicate greater pressure-passive cerebral perfusion due to more severe brain injury and correlates with prolonged neural suppression during NT. We hypothesized that when energy metabolism is suppressed during HT, the cerebral hemodynamics of brains with severe injury would be suppressed to a greater extent, resulting in a greater decrease in CBV during HT that would correlate with prolonged neural suppression after insult. METHODS Twenty-six piglets were divided into four groups: control with NT (C-NT, n = 3), control with HT (C-HT, n = 3), HI insult with NT (HI-NT, n = 10), and HI insult with HT (HI-HT, n = 10). TRS and aEEG were performed in all groups until 24 h after the insult. Piglets in the HI-HT group were maintained in a hypothermic state for 24 h after the insult. RESULTS There was a positive linear correlation between changes in CBV at 1, 3, 6, and 12 h after the insult and low-amplitude aEEG (<5 µV) duration after insult in the HI-NT group, but a negative linear correlation between these two parameters at 6 and 12 h after the insult in the HI-HT group. The aEEG background score and low-amplitude EEG duration after the insult did not differ between these two groups. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION A longer low-amplitude EEG duration after insult was associated with a greater CBV decrease during HT in the HI-HT group, suggesting that brains with more severe neural suppression could be more prone to HT-induced suppression of cerebral metabolism and circulation.
