Sensing Oxygen Saturations Using Abdominal NIRS With an Investigational Realtime Device (Songbird)
Preterm infants are highly vulnerable and may suffer from multiple life-threatening conditions that manifest low tissue oxygenation (StO2). Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a technique available to non-invasively and safely monitor the tissue oxygenation status (StO2), which can be beneficial or live saving for this fragile patient population. Unfortunately, traditional NIRS devices show a broad variability when applied to the abdomen (Bailey \& Mally 2016). The novel device is designed especially for application of NIRS on the abdomen of preterm infants.
