This is an observational, proof-of-concept, feasibility study that aims to evaluate the feasibility of a monitoring system that integrates clinical data, high-resolution waveforms from the bedside monitor, regional oxygenation (via cerebral and splanchnic near-infrared spectroscopy), and regional ventilation (via electrical impedance tomography) from 20 extremely low birth weight infants at high-risk of reintubation.
Birth weight < 1000g and gestational age < 28+0 weeks,
Received mechanical ventilation within the first 72h of life,
Undergoing their first planned extubation within the first 6 weeks of life.
