Peripheral oxygenation in term neonates

Abstract

The aim of this study was to analyse changes in peripheral oxygenation in healthy term neonates within the first week of life with near-infrared spectroscopy and venous occlusion. Oxygen delivery did not change with increasing age. Oxygen consumption and fractional oxygen extraction increased, whereas tissue oxygenation index decreased with increasing age.

  • DO2, oxygen delivery
  • FOE, fractional oxygen extraction
  • Hbflow, haemoglobin flow
  • MAP, mean arterial pressure
  • NIRS, near-infrared spectroscopy
  • SaO2, oxygen saturation (haemoglobin)
  • SvO2, mixed venous oxygenation
  • TOI, tissue oxygenation index
  • VO2, oxygen consumption
