Near-infrared spectroscopy in the neonatal intensive care unit: can it change treatment decisions? KU Leuven
I. Introduction and background
In this proposal for PhD project we present clinical studies in different patient groups to assess cerebral oxygenation as measured with near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). Near-infrared spectroscopy has evolved from a purely research instrument to a monitor that is increasingly introduced into the clinical environment and especially in the neonatal intensive care unit. It has mainly been used for the ...
