Abstract
BACKGROUND Noninvasive neuromonitoring in critically ill children includes multiple modalities that all intend to improve our understanding of acute and ongoing brain injury. METHODS In this article, we review basic methods and devices, applications in clinical care and research, and explore potential future directions for three noninvasive neuromonitoring modalities in the pediatric intensive care unit: automated pupillometry, near-infrared spectroscopy, and transcranial Doppler ultrasonography. RESULTS All three technologies are noninvasive, portable, and easily repeatable to allow for serial measurements and trending of data over time. However, a paucity of high-quality data supporting the clinical utility of any of these technologies in critically ill children is currently a major limitation to their widespread application in the pediatric intensive care unit. CONCLUSIONS Future prospective multicenter work addressing major knowledge gaps is necessary to advance the field of pediatric noninvasive neuromonitoring.

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.

Optical Monitoring in Neonatal Seizures. Cells 2022; 11:cells11162602. [PMID: 36010678 PMCID: PMC9407001 DOI: 10.3390/cells11162602] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2022] [Revised: 07/30/2022] [Accepted: 08/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Neonatal seizures remain a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The past decade has resulted in substantial progress in seizure detection and understanding the impact seizures have on the developing brain. Optical monitoring such as cerebral near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and broadband NIRS can provide non-invasive continuous real-time monitoring of the changes in brain metabolism and haemodynamics. AIM To perform a systematic review of optical biomarkers to identify changes in cerebral haemodynamics and metabolism during the pre-ictal, ictal, and post-ictal phases of neonatal seizures. METHOD A systematic search was performed in eight databases. The search combined the three broad categories: (neonates) AND (NIRS) AND (seizures) using the stepwise approach following PRISMA guidance. RESULTS Fifteen papers described the haemodynamic and/or metabolic changes observed with NIRS during neonatal seizures. No randomised controlled trials were identified during the search. Studies reported various changes occurring in the pre-ictal, ictal, and post-ictal phases of seizures. CONCLUSION Clear changes in cerebral haemodynamics and metabolism were noted during the pre-ictal, ictal, and post-ictal phases of seizures in neonates. Further studies are necessary to determine whether NIRS-based methods can be used at the cot-side to provide clear pathophysiological data in real-time during neonatal seizures.

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy in developmental psychiatry: a review of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Eur Arch Psychiatry Clin Neurosci 2022; 272:273-290.

Abstract
Research has linked executive function (EF) deficits to many of the behavioral symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Evidence of the involvement of EF impairment in ADHD is corroborated by accumulating neuroimaging studies, specifically functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies. However, in recent years, functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) has become increasingly popular in ADHD research due to its portability, high ecological validity, resistance to motion artifacts, and cost-effectiveness. While numerous studies throughout the past decade have used fNIRS to examine alterations in neural correlates of EF in ADHD, a qualitative review of the reliability of these findings compared with those reported using gold-standard fMRI measurements does not yet exist. The current review aims to fill this gap in the literature by comparing the results generated from a qualitative review of fNIRS studies (children and adolescents ages 6-16 years old) to a meta-analysis of comparable fMRI studies and examining the extent to which the results of these studies align in the context of EF impairment in ADHD. The qualitative analysis of fNIRS studies of ADHD shows a consistent hypoactivity in the right prefrontal cortex in multiple EF tasks. The meta-analysis of fMRI data corroborates altered activity in this region and surrounding areas during EF tasks in ADHD compared with typically developing controls. These findings indicate that fNIRS is a promising functional brain imaging technology for examining alterations in cortical activity in ADHD. We also address the disadvantages of fNIRS, including limited spatial resolution compared with fMRI.

Abstract
Brain injury is one of the most consequential problems facing neonates, with many preterm and term infants at risk for cerebral hypoxia and ischemia. To develop effective neuroprotective strategies, the mechanistic basis for brain injury must be understood. The fragile state of neonates presents unique research challenges; invasive measures of cerebral blood flow and oxygenation assessment exceed tolerable risk profiles. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) can safely and non-invasively estimate cerebral oxygenation, a correlate of cerebral perfusion, offering insight into brain injury-related mechanisms. Unfortunately, lack of standardization in device application, recording methods, and error/artifact correction have left the field fractured. In this article, we provide a framework for neonatal NIRS research. Our goal is to provide a rational basis for NIRS data capture and processing that may result in better comparability between studies. It is also intended to serve as a primer for new NIRS researchers and assist with investigation initiation.

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
OBJECTIVE To investigate right and left cerebral tissue (ctSO2) and renal tissue oxygenations (rtSO2) in otherwise healthy children. METHODS In this observational cross-sectional study, one hundred children seen as outpatients for well child care or common non-critical complaints, were included. Bilateral ctSO2 and rtSO2 were recorded simultaneously with INVOS™ 5100 device. RESULTS The median age was 6.7 y (IQR 3-10.4) and median weight was 21 kg (IQR 13-33). Right and left sided ctSO2 and rtSO2 values were 78.7% ± 6.0% and 79.1% ± 5.7%; 81.5% ± 9.4% and 81.4% ± 9.5% respectively. There were no differences in right and left cerebral and renal near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) values, and no age centered lateralization effect. Renal measurements were higher than cerebral counterparts in 63% of the children. Interaction between age and regional oxygenation was significant. For both sides, renal oxygenation was higher than that of cerebrum in older children, whereas the opposite held true with younger age. CONCLUSIONS There are no right and left side differences in ctSO2 and rtSO2 values in otherwise healthy children. On the other hand, there seem to be differences between cerebral and renal regions with a significant age effect. Acknowledging its limitations, this study sheds light on laterality and cranial and renal NIRS measurements in otherwise healthy children, and may contribute to the interpretation of NIRS data in critically ill patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cerebral oximetry (cerebral oxygen saturation; ScO2) is used to noninvasively monitor cerebral oxygenation. ScO2 readings are based on the fraction of reduced and oxidized hemoglobin as an indirect estimate of brain tissue oxygenation and assume a static ratio of arterial to venous intracranial blood. Conditions that alter cerebral blood flow, such as acute changes in PaCO2, may decrease accuracy. We assessed the performance of two commercial cerebral oximeters across a range of oxygen concentrations during normocapnia and hypocapnia. METHODS Casmed FORE-SIGHT Elite (CAS Medical Systems, Inc., USA) and Covidien INVOS 5100C (Covidien, USA) oximeter sensors were placed on 12 healthy volunteers. The fractional inspired oxygen tension was varied to achieve seven steady-state levels including hypoxic and hyperoxic PaO2 values. ScO2 and simultaneous arterial and jugular venous blood gas measurements were obtained with both normocapnia and hypocapnia. Oximeter bias was calculated as the difference between the ScO2 and reference saturation using manufacturer-specified weighting ratios from the arterial and venous samples. RESULTS FORE-SIGHT Elite bias was greater during hypocapnia as compared with normocapnia (4 ± 9% vs. 0 ± 6%; P < 0.001). The INVOS 5100C bias was also lower during normocapnia (5 ± 15% vs. 3 ± 12%; P = 0.01). Hypocapnia resulted in a significant decrease in mixed venous oxygen saturation and mixed venous oxygen tension, as well as increased oxygen extraction across fractional inspired oxygen tension levels (P < 0.0001). Bias increased significantly with increasing oxygen extraction (P < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS Changes in PaCO2 affect cerebral oximeter accuracy, and increased bias occurs with hypocapnia. Decreased accuracy may represent an incorrect assumption of a static arterial-venous blood fraction. Understanding cerebral oximetry limitations is especially important in patients at risk for hypoxia-induced brain injury, where PaCO2 may be purposefully altered.

Abstract
Continuous brain imaging techniques can be beneficial for the monitoring of neurological pathologies (such as epilepsy or stroke) and neuroimaging protocols involving movement. Among existing ones, functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) and electroencephalography (EEG) have the advantage of being noninvasive, nonobstructive, inexpensive, yield portable solutions, and offer complementary monitoring of electrical and local hemodynamic activities. This article presents a novel system with 128 fNIRS channels and 32 EEG channels with the potential to cover a larger fraction of the adult superficial cortex than earlier works, is integrated with 32 EEG channels, is light and battery-powered to improve portability, and can transmit data wirelessly to an interface for real-time display of electrical and hemodynamic activities. A novel fNIRS-EEG stretchable cap, two analog channels for auxiliary data (e.g., electrocardiogram), eight digital triggers for event-related protocols and an internal accelerometer for movement artifacts removal contribute to improve data acquisition quality. The system can run continuously for 24 h. Following instrumentation validation and reliability on a solid phantom, performance was evaluated on (1) 12 healthy participants during either a visual (checkerboard) task at rest or while pedalling on a stationary bicycle or a cognitive (language) task and (2) 4 patients admitted either to the epilepsy (n = 3) or stroke (n = 1) units. Data analysis confirmed expected hemodynamic variations during validation recordings and useful clinical information during in-hospital testing. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of a wearable wireless multichannel fNIRS-EEG monitoring system in patients with neurological conditions.

Abstract
Cerebral oxygenation is not always reflected by systemic arterial oxygenation. Therefore, regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rScO2) monitoring with near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is of added value in neonatal intensive care. rScO2 represents oxygen supply to the brain, while cerebral fractional tissue oxygen extraction, which is the ratio between rScO2 and systemic arterial oxygen saturation, reflects cerebral oxygen utilization. The balance between oxygen supply and utilization provides insight in neonatal cerebral (patho-)physiology. This review highlights the potential and limitations of cerebral oxygenation monitoring with NIRS in the neonatal intensive care unit.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is an upcoming clinical method for monitoring regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rScO2) in neonates. There is a growing market offering different devices and sensors. Even though this technique is increasingly clinically applied, little is known about the similarities and/or differences in rScO2 values between the different devices and sensors. The aim of this study was to compare the rScO2 values obtained in (preterm) neonates with all available sensors of three frequently used NIRS devices. METHODS Fifty-five neonates admitted to our neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) were included in this study. rScO2 was simultaneously monitored bilaterally with two different NIRS sensors (left and right frontoparietal) for at least 1 h. Then, the sensors were switched, and measurements were collected for at least another hour. RESULTS We detected a rather close correlation between all investigated sensors from the three different NIRS devices, but absolute rScO2 values showed substantial differences: Bland-Altman analysis showed average differences from 10 to 15%. CONCLUSION Although the rScO2 values correlated well between different NIRS sensors, sometimes there were substantial differences between the absolute rScO2 values, which may complicate clinical application.

Abstract
Neurological complications during critical illness remain a frequent cause of morbidity and mortality. To date, monitors of cerebral function including electroencephalography, jugular bulb mixed venous oxygen saturation and transcranial Doppler, either require an invasive procedure and/or are not sensitive enough to effectively identify patients at risk for cerebral hypoxia. Near-infrared spectroscopy is a noninvasive device that uses infrared light, a technique similar to pulse oximetry, to penetrate living tissue and estimate brain tissue oxygenation by measuring the absorption of infrared light by tissue chromophores. The following article reviews the latest technology available to monitor cerebral oxygenation, near-infrared spectroscopy, its advantages and disadvantages, the currently available evidence-based medicine that demonstrates that this technology can identify deficits in cerebral oxygenation, and that monitoring such deficits allows for therapy to reverse cerebral oxygenation issues and thereby prevent long-term neurological sequelae.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In paediatric patients, crystalloid prime for cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) causes further haemodilution in comparison with blood-containing prime. Thus it may affect the cerebral oxygen supply/demand balance. The purpose of the study was to compare the effect of bloodless pump prime with that of blood-containing prime on cerebral oxygenation in children. METHODS Thirty-six paediatric patients scheduled for elective repair of atrial or ventricular septal defect were enrolled. In Group C (n = 18), the CPB circuit was primed only with crystalloid. In Group B (n = 18), red blood cells were added to achieve a haematocrit (Hct) of 20% during CPB. The regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO(2)) value measured by near-infrared spectroscopy was compared between the two groups. RESULTS In both groups, rSO(2) decreased below baseline at the start of CPB and during rewarming (P < 0.001, for both groups during each period). At the start of CPB, haemodilution was greater in Group C than in Group B (Hct 16.1 +/- 0.7% vs. 20.7 +/- 0.5%; P < 0.01), and there was a greater reduction in rSO(2) in Group C (49.0 +/- 5.4% vs. 59.2 +/- 7.0%; P < 0.01). During rewarming, rSO(2) was significantly lower in Group C than in Group B (57.8 +/- 5.3% vs. 62.8 +/- 6.2%; P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS In paediatric patients, the haemodilution associated with crystalloid priming causes a greater reduction in rSO(2) than with blood-containing prime at the starting period of CPB and the rewarming period.

Abstract
UNLABELLED We compared the percentage haemoglobin oxygenation indices from two near infrared spectrophotometers (NIRS) to determine whether the devices reported similar changes in response to induced changes in oxygenation. METHODS 24 healthy juvenile swine undergoing cardiac bypass surgery had INVOS 5100 and NIRO-300 sensors applied to the brow. Induced events included circulatory arrest, altered blood flow rate, core cooling, and re-warming. RESULTS The average data collection was 4 hours 36 minutes and had an r = 0.82 mean correlation between the INVOS and NIRO. The total resting baseline collection from all trials (8,590 pairs) had a correlation of r = 0.62. The average relationship between the INVOS and NIRO was non-linear: an INVOS regional oxygen saturation index (rSO2) of 0% was equivalent to a NIRO tissue oxygenation index (TOI) of 36.2%; values were equal at 56.8%; and an (rSO2) of 100% was equivalent to a TOI 85.9%. There was good or excellent agreement (r > 0.5) between the (rSO2) and TOI patterns of change during induced events in 96% of trials. The INVOS and NIRO were most closely correlated when an attenuation filter was used to obtain identical emitter/detector separations. CONCLUSIONS There was close agreement between the INVOS 5100 and NIRO-300 in response to major physiological change, although absolute values of (rSO2) and TOI were not identical. There was less agreement during baseline measurements or minimal physiologic change.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Near-infrared spectroscopy is a developing technique for monitoring cerebral oxygenation during anaesthesia. The aim of this study was to evaluate absolute values of cerebral oxygenation during stable anaesthesia conditions in otherwise healthy children using the recently introduced INVOS 5100 cerebral oximeter with a paediatric and adult sensor and to compare them with values obtained from the NIRO 300 oximeter. METHODS Thirty paediatric surgical patients (aged 0.23-15.97 years) were studied during general anaesthesia with tracheal intubation and controlled ventilation. Comparative measurements of cerebral oxygenation were performed on the forehead with two probes within 10 min under stable cardiorespiratory and anaesthesia conditions. Cerebral oxygenation values (rSO2) obtained from the paediatric and adult INVOS 5100 sensors were compared with the tissue oxygenation index (TOI) obtained from the NIRO 300 cerebral oximeter using 4- and 5-cm emitter-detector separation. RESULTS Cerebral rSO2 values and the TOI values both showed a large range of cerebral oxygenation in the children studied (rSO2: 59-95%, TOI: 48-85%). Cerebral rSO2 values measured by the INVOS 5100, particularly with the paediatric sensor, were significantly higher than the TOI values obtained from the NIRO 300 (P < 0.0001). Agreement between the INVOS and NIRO oximeter was poor. CONCLUSION The large range and the poor agreement of cerebral oxygenation values between the two oximeters makes it difficult to define a normal value. Cerebral oxygenation readings by these monitors, based on one single point measurement during anaesthesia, should be viewed with caution. Actually, there may be little indication for routine use of such monitoring during general anaesthesia.

Abstract
None of the monitors of cerebral oxygenation discussed above has proven to be effective enough to have become a standard of care in any given area of medical treatment. As described above, each has specific and well-defined shortcomings that prevent its widespread use. These shortcomings may not be so much a failure of technology as an acknowledgement of the complexity of our goal: a monitor that can divide the entire brain into small, focal, and discrete areas and accurately measure the oxygen tension in each one. Because we are asking for the functional equivalent of 30 or 40 simultaneous PbtO2 probes, it is small wonder that we are not yet satisfied. Of the three monitors discussed here, the greatest potential may lie with the transcranial cerebral oximetry. The cerebral oximeter has the biggest potential for improvement because it holds the most potential for technical advancement. Although, for instance, jugular venous bulb oximetric catheters may become somewhat more accurate, the biggest drawbacks in that monitor's usefulness lie in human anatomy and intracerebral blood mixing, not catheter accuracy. PbtO2 probes, also, have little room for improvement. Although every technology can be refined, the PbtO2 probes are already accurate. The fact that they are an invasive monitor, and a regional one at that, will relegate them to a limited number of cases. Cerebral oximeters hold more potential. Their greatest limitations lie in technical aspects that can be, and hopefully will be, improved upon in terms of computer technology as well as algorithm accuracy. The fact that cerebral oximeters can be used on any patient, at any time, on almost any case, makes it, potentially, truly an ideal monitor for anesthesiologists and intensivists alike. There is no certainty that any of these limitations will be surmounted, at least to the degree necessary to achieve desired accuracy. But there is much to anticipate.

Abstract
Cerebral monitoring of patients with acute intracranial disorders generally focuses on intracranial pressure and cerebral perfusion pressure monitoring. Over the past few years, several new techniques have become available for more detailed routine monitoring of cerebral oxygenation and metabolism. Brain tissue oxygen pressure measurement is increasingly being used for evaluation of cerebral oxygenation. This article discusses brain tissue oxygen pressure measurement in regards to its technical aspects, safety, reliability, and value relative to other techniques for evaluation of cerebral oxygenation. Published experimental and clinical data are considered, and the current status of the clinical use and indications of the technique are summarized. Monitoring may be performed in relatively undamaged parts of the brain or, preferably, in the penumbra region of an intracerebral lesion. Pathophysiologic evidence warrants targeting therapy for patients with traumatic brain injury and subarachnoid hemorrhage toward improvement of cerebral oxygenation guided by continuous monitoring of brain tissue oxygen tension.

Abstract
UNLABELLED We determined whether two different devices for measuring near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)---the INVOS 4100 and the NIRO 300---produce similar cerebral oxygenation data during the CO(2) challenge test. Nineteen patients anesthetized with sevoflurane, 67% nitrous oxide in oxygen, and fentanyl were studied. A series of measurements of regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO(2)), measured by the INVOS 4100, and tissue oxygen index (TOI), measured by the NIRO 300, were performed in the following conditions: 1) normocapnia (PaCO(2), 35--45 mm Hg); 2) hypocapnia (PaCO(2), 25--35 mm Hg); 3) normocapnia; and 4) hypercapnia (PaCO(2), 45--55 mm Hg). Hemodynamic variables, including arterial blood gases and cerebral blood flow velocity, were measured at the same time with transcranial Doppler. The values and percentage changes of rSO(2) and TOI were compared by using regression analysis and Bland and Altman analysis. The rSO(2) showed a significant positive correlation with TOI (r = 0.58, P < 0.01). The percentage change of rSO(2) also showed a significant positive correlation with the percentage change of TOI during the CO(2) challenge (r = 0.85, P < 0.01). Bland and Altman analysis revealed a bias of -0.5% with 2 SD of 15.6% when comparing the rSO(2) value with the TOI value, and it showed a bias of -3.4% with 2 SD of 15.2% when comparing the percentage change of rSO(2) with the percentage change of TOI, indicating unacceptable disagreement of these data. These results indicate that cerebral oxygen saturation and its relative change during the CO(2) challenge may vary depending on the type of NIRS used. Because the measurement technique and algorithm were different in each device, we should carefully consider the clinical application of the values produced by NIRS. IMPLICATIONS Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has been proposed as a noninvasive clinical method for assessing cerebral oxygenation. The acceptable reliability and validity of NIRS values have not been established despite their widespread use. The INVOS 4100 and the NIRO 300 can display cerebral oxygen saturation as regional cerebral oxygen saturation and tissue oxygenation index, but they produce differing results.
