Value of near-infrared spectroscopy in evaluating the risk of neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Early Hum Dev 2024; 195:106083. [PMID: 39059341 DOI: 10.1016/j.earlhumdev.2024.106083] [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: 06/15/2024] [Revised: 07/20/2024] [Accepted: 07/22/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE Recently, near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has been proposed for diagnosing patients with neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). However, a consensus on the credibility of NIRS in evaluating NEC risk has not been reached. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the relationship between NEC and splanchnic regional tissue oxygen saturation (SrSO2) and cerebral regional tissue oxygen saturation (CrSO2) detected by NIRS to clarify the clinical value of NIRS in evaluating the risk of NEC. METHODS Studies using NIRS to monitor regional tissue oxygen saturation (rSO2) in neonates with NEC published in PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and the Cochrane Library were searched from their inception to 30 July 2023. Mean difference (MD), pooled sensitivity, and pooled specificity, along with their 95 % confidence intervals (CI), were calculated, and the random-effects model was used for analysis. This study was registered with PROSPERO (no. CRD42022326783). RESULTS Fourteen studies including 938 neonates (172 NEC, 766 controls) were identified. SrSO2 was significantly decreased in patients with NEC (MD: -12.52, 95 % CI: -15.95, -9.08; P < 0.00001), and this decrease was observed even before the diagnosis of NEC (MD: -13.79, 95 % CI: -17.97, -9.62; P < 0.00001). The pooled sensitivity and specificity of SrSO2 were 0.80 (95 % CI: 0.69, 0.88) and 0.90 (95 % CI: 0.61, 0.98), respectively. However, no significant difference in CrSO2 was found (MD: -4.37, 95 % CI: -10.62, 1.88; P = 0.17). CONCLUSIONS SrSO2, detected by NIRS, could be a valuable non-invasive method for differentiating NEC from non-NEC neonates. It could differentiate prior to NEC diagnosis.

Abstract
Cerebral tissue oxygen saturation (CrSO2) measured with near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) technology has recently become the subject of several research studies. The aim of this study was to investigate the diagnostic value of CrSO2 measurements in perinatal asphyxia (PA) cases. The study included a patient group of 42 PA cases, who were to be applied with therapeutic hypothermia (TH), and a control group of 42 healthy term newborns. PA cases were determined as moderate or severe encephalopathy (Sarnat score stage II or III) in clinical evaluation. In both groups, left (CrSO2L) and right (CrSO2R) NIRS measurements were taken for 10 minutes on the scalp. The arithmetic mean value of measurements was calculated and compared. The mean measurements were CrSO2R 67.38 ± 9.39 and CrSO2L 66.73 ± 7.76 in the patient group, and CrSO2R 80.28 ± 8.04 and CrSO2L 79.14 ± 8.49 in the control group. The mean CrSO2R and CrSO2L measurements of the patient group were statistically significantly lower than those of the control group (p < 0.001). In the Pearson correlation analysis, a significant correlation was determined in the patient group between cord blood gas pH and CrSO2R (r: 0.539, p < 0.001) and CrSO2L (r: 0.54, p < 0.001). For a cutoff value of CrSO2L ≤ 72%, the positive predictive value was 80 and the negative predictive value was 84.6. For a cutoff value of CrSO2R ≤ 74%, the positive predictive value was 79.5 and the negative predictive value was 82.5. Low CrSO2 measurements obtained with the NIRS method in PA cases to be applied with TH together with cord blood gas parameters can be considered a helpful parameter in diagnosis.

Abstract
Due to the complexity of the automobile manufacturing process, some flexible and delicate assembly work relies on manual operations. However, high-frequency and high-load repetitive operations make assembly workers prone to physical fatigue. This study proposes a method for evaluating human physical fatigue for the manual assembly of automobiles with methods: NIOSH (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health), OWAS (Ovako Working Posture Analysis System) and RULA (Rapid Upper Limb Assessment). The cerebral oxygenation signal is selected as an objective physiological index reflecting the human fatigue level to verify the proposed physical fatigue evaluation method. Taking auto seat assembly and automobile manual assembly as an example, 18 group experiments were carried out with the ARE platform (Augmented Reality-based Ergonomic Platform). Furthermore, predictions of metabolic energy expenditure were performed for experiments in Tecnomatix Jack. Finally, it is concluded that the proposed physical fatigue evaluation method can reflect the human physical fatigue level and is more accurate than the evaluation of metabolic energy consumption in Tecnomatix Jack because of the immersion that comes with the AR devices and the precision that comes with motion capture devices.

Abstract
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a life-threatening disease of the digestive system that occurs in the neonatal period. NEC is difficult to diagnose early and the prognosis is poor. Previous studies have reported that abnormalities can be detected before the presentation of clinical symptoms. Based on an analysis of literature related to the early prediction of NEC, we provide a detailed review on the early prediction and diagnosis methods of NEC, including ultrasound, near-infrared spectroscopy, biomarkers, and intestinal microbiota. This review aimed to provide a reference for further research and clinical practice.

Abstract
Background It is well established that counter-regulation to hypoxia follows a hierarchical pattern, with brain-sparing in preference to peripheral tissues. In contrast, it is unknown if the same hierarchical sequence applies to recovery from hypoxia after correction of anemia with packed red blood cell transfusion (PRBCT). Objective To understand the chronology of cerebral and splanchnic tissue oxygenation resulting after correction of anemia by PRBCT in preterm infants using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). Design Prospective cohort study. Setting Neonatal intensive care. Patients included Haemodynamically stable infants: <32 weeks gestation, <37weeks postmenstrual age, <1500 grams birth weight; and ≥120 mL/kg/day feeds tolerated. Intervention PRBCT at 15 mL/Kg over 4 hours. Main outcome measures Transfusion-associated changes were determined by comparing the 4-hour mean pre-transfusion cerebral and splanchnic fractional tissue oxygen extraction (FTOEc0; FTOEs0) with hourly means during (FTOEc1-4; FTOEs1-4) and for 24 hours after PRBCT completion (FTOEc5-28; FTOEs5-28). Results Of 30 enrolled infants, 14[46.7%] male; median[IQR] birth weight, 923[655–1064]g; gestation, 26.4[25.5–28.1]weeks; enrolment weight, 1549[1113–1882]g; and postmenstrual age, 33.6[32.4–35]weeks, 1 infant was excluded because of corrupted NIRS data. FTOEc significantly decreased during and for 24 hours after PRBCT (p < 0.001), indicating prompt improvement in cerebral oxygenation. In contrast, FTOEs showed no significant changes during and after PRBCT (p>0.05), indicating failure of improvement in splanchnic oxygenation. Conclusion Improvement in regional oxygenation after PRBCT follows the same hierarchical pattern with a prompt improvement of cerebral but not splanchnic tissue oxygenation. We hypothesise that this hierarchical recovery may indicate continued splanchnic hypoxia in the immediate post-transfusion period and vulnerability to transfusion-associated necrotizing enterocolitis (TANEC). Our study provides a possible mechanistic underpinning for TANEC and warrants future randomised controlled studies to stratify its prevention.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the incidence and mortality of gastrointestinal dysfunction in children with sepsis, the application of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in monitoring mesenteric regional tissue oxygen saturation (rSO2), and the association between rSO2 and gastrointestinal dysfunction. METHODS In this prospective study, 79 children with sepsis in the pediatric intensive care unit (sepsis group) and 40 children who underwent physical examination in the Department of Child Healthcare (healthy control group) from January to December, 2021 were enrolled as subjects. The related medical data were collected, including general information on admission and at discharge, treatment during hospitalization, and laboratory examination results. NIRS was used to measure mesenteric rSO2. Clinical characteristics were compared between the patients with and without gastrointestinal dysfunction. RESULTS For the 79 children with sepsis, the incidence rate of gastrointestinal dysfunction was 49% (39/79), and the mortality rate of the children with gastrointestinal dysfunction was 26% (10/39). The children with gastrointestinal dysfunction had a longer duration of mechanical ventilation and a higher 28-day mortality rate (P<0.05). The children with gastrointestinal dysfunction had a significantly lower median rSO2 (64%) than the children without gastrointestinal dysfunction (72%) and the healthy control group (78%) (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS There are high incidence and mortality rates of gastrointestinal dysfunction in children with sepsis, and the reduction in rSO2 may be associated with the development of gastrointestinal dysfunction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is unresolved whether low haemoglobin (Hb) and symptoms of anaemia reflect oxygen delivery-consumption imbalances (fractional tissue oxygen extraction [FTOE]). Here, we test whether pre-transfusion Hb and symptoms of anaemia correlate with pre-transfusion cerebral and splanchnic FTOE. METHODS This prospective cohort study was carried out between Sept 1, 2014 and Nov 30, 2016 at Nepean Hospital, Sydney, Australia. The study enroled haemodynamically stable preterm infants: gestation <32 weeks; birth weight <1500 gs; postmenstrual age <37weeks, who received 15 mL/kg packed red blood cell transfusion (PRBCT) based on low Hb and symptoms of anaemia. FTOE was determined using simultaneous monitoring of near-infrared spectroscopy and pulse oximetry for 4 h before PRBCT. FINDINGS The study enroled 29 infants born with a median gestation of 26.4 weeks (IQR 25.4-28.1), birth weight 922 g (655-1064), at postmenstrual age 33.6 weeks (31.7-34.9), and weight 1487 g (1110-1785). There was no significant correlation between Hb (median 97 g/L, IQR 87-100) and cerebral FTOE (r=-0.12, 95% CI -0.47 to 0.27; p = 0.54, n = 29) as well as splanchnic FTOE (r=-0.09, 95% CI -0.45 to 0.29; p = 0.64, n = 29). Median cerebral FTOE (p = 0.67) and splanchnic FTOE (p = 0.53) did not differ between symptomatic and asymptomatic groups. INTERPRETATION Our preliminary findings suggest that pre-transfusion Hb and symptoms of anaemia might not accurately reflect oxygen delivery-consumption imbalances in both the brain and the gut. A lack of correlation with cerebral FTOE might be presumed to be due to the brain-sparing effect. However, the lack of correlation with splanchnic FTOE is more concerning. Hence, these results warrant larger studies incorporating FTOE along with the conventional criteria in the transfusion algorithm. FUNDING The study was funded (for the purchase of NIRS sensors) by the Australian Women and Children's Research Foundation.

Abstract
Restoring perfusion to ischemic tissue is the primary goal of acute ischemic stroke care, yet only a small portion of patients receive reperfusion treatment. Since blood pressure (BP) is an important determinant of cerebral perfusion, effective BP management could facilitate reperfusion. But how BP should be managed in very early phase of ischemic stroke remains a contentious issue, due to the lack of clear evidence. Given the complex relationship between BP and cerebral blood flow (CBF)-termed cerebral autoregulation (CA)-bedside monitoring of cerebral perfusion and oxygenation could help guide BP management, thereby improve stroke patient outcome. The aim of INFOMATAS is to 'identify novel therapeutic targets for treatment and management in acute ischemic stroke'. In this review, we identify novel physiological parameters which could be used to guide BP management in acute stroke, and explore methodologies for monitoring them at the bedside. We outline the challenges in translating these potential prognostic markers into clinical use.

Abstract
Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a method of monitoring brain oxygenation. This technique investigates hemodynamic changes in the cerebral cortex. fNIRS is widely used in clinical and scientific research. In this review, we focus on the applications of fNIRS on neonates. Here, applications form two distinct categories: task associated studies, and hemoglobin phase change studies. fNIRS is non-invasive, easily performed, and repeatable. However, it has limited monitoring depth and spatial resolution when used in newborns. Moreover, with recent technological advances, it is now possible to explore neuronal activity patterns using fNIRS in both healthy and pathological conditions. For more than 20 years, fNIRS has enabled clinicians to gain insight into cerebral development and mechanisms of injury in neonates. fNIRS is a useful supplement to existing technologies due to its ability to interrogate the neonatal brain function.

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
Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)-based monitoring of regional tissue oxygenation (rSO2) is becoming more commonplace in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). While increasing evidence supports rSO2 monitoring, actual standards for applying this noninvasive bedside technique continue to evolve. This review highlights the current strengths and pitfalls surrounding practical NIRS-based monitoring in the neonatal population. The physiologic background of rSO2 monitoring is discussed, with attention to understanding oxygen delivery/consumption mismatch and its effects on tissue oxygen extraction. The bedside utility of both cerebral and peripheral rSO2 monitoring in the NICU is then explored from two perspectives: (1) disease/event-specific "responsive" monitoring and (2) "routine," continuous monitoring. Recent evidence incorporating both monitoring approaches is summarized with emphasis on practical applicability in the NICU. Finally, a future paradigm for a broad-based NIRS monitoring strategy is presented, with attention towards improving personalization of neonatal care and ultimately enhancing long-term outcomes.

Abstract
Abstract
Non-invasive measurement of cerebral tissue oxygenation (cStO2) using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is attracting an increasing attention not only in neonatology. The vast diversity of commercially available NIRS devices makes it difficult to compare in the published clinical studies. This review provides a view on the practical use of NIRS as a tool for cStO2 measurement, its limitations and pitfalls, with a focus on brain dysfunction caused by hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. This syndrome of disturbed neurologic function in the earliest days after the birth in the term infants is manifested by difficulty with initiating and maintaining respiration, depression of tone and reflexes, subnormal level of consciousness, and often seizures. This fascinating technology has already proven accurate and has been recommended to use during daily routine tool to evaluate the level of oxygen saturation in brain in intensive care units worldwide.

It is well-documented in the literature that infants who suffer from hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy are at high risk for neurologic sequelae or even death. With the addition of therapeutic hypothermia into the treatment regimen for neonatal hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, newborns afflicted with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy were given the opportunity for a better outcome. Questions linger as to the most optimal treatment strategy of therapeutic hypothermia for these newborns. The goal of this article is to discuss current management strategies, as well as future trends, for infants with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy.
