Abstract

This study assessed the feasibility of neonatal cerebral oxygen monitoring by near-infrared light spectroscopy (NIRS) using a light emitting diode (LED) based system. We aimed to measure the changes in cerebral oxygen saturation, as regional oxygen saturation and tissue oxygenation index, in response to auditory stimuli. Documenting changes in oxygenation in response to such stimuli will help validate the usefulness of LED-NIRS as a tool in the study of cerebral oxygen saturation in neonates
