No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Due to the small size of infants and the use of bypass machines, physicians have difficulty assessing whether the infant's brain and body is getting enough oxygen during heart surgery. This study compares continuous monitoring via the NIRS (Near Infrared Spectroscopy) to the traditional methods of determining oxygen saturation.
