Summary
- Due to the increased risk of brain damage, continuous monitoring of the cerebral
oxygenation is interesting. The investigators will evaluate the capability of the INVOS
Oximeter to detect induced changes in the cerebral regional saturation.
- The purpose of the study is to investigate our hypothesis that cerebral vasoconstriction
after oxygen exposure is prolonged in preterm infants compared to term infants.
