Functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy to Detect Pain in Young Children Under General Anesthesia

NCT04362423 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 39

Last updated 2020-09-02

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This is a three-phase pilot prospective study to develop a devise capable of detecting changes in cortical blood volume and oxygenation due to noxious stimuli. The hypothesis of the study is that optical signal changes corresponding to blood volume and oxygenation will be detected with functional near infrared spectroscopy in the prefrontal cortex of children under general anesthesia in response to peripheral noxious stimuli produced from the neurophysiological monitoring (SSEP).

DEVICE

fNIRS

Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a non-invasive, portable, relatively inexpensive optical technology similar to pulse oximetry except that it measures total hemoglobin, oxy-hemoglobin, and deoxyhemoglobin in brain tissue (capillaries) rather than arteries.
