A Trial to Determine the Efficacy of Near Infrared Spectroscopy to Detect Intracranial Hemorrhage in Children

NCT00795119 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 73

Summary

To diagnose bleeding inside the head, children need to have a CT Scan or MRI of their heads. Not all doctors order these though, especially when there is no history of injury or when children don't look too sick. Unfortunately, this means that some children's bleeding doesn't get diagnosed as early as it could. This study wants to find a way to detect bleeding inside the head without using a CT scan or MRI.

Conditions

  • Intracranial Hemorrhage

Interventions

DEVICE

Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS)

NIRS of the head is undertaken at the time of CT or MRI examination
