Summary

This study will use a new device to measure blood flow and oxygen levels in the brains of newborn infants who have had exposure to opioid medications in the womb, compared to newborns who have not had any exposure.

Conditions

  • Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal
  • Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome
  • Opioid Use Disorder
  • Intrauterine Exposure

Interventions

DEVICE

FD-NIRS and DCS

The investigators will use a novel optical-based device that combines two advanced NIRS techniques, frequency-domain NIRS (FD-NIRS) and diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS), to quantify regional cerebral oxygenation (SO2), cerebral blood flow (CBF) and cerebral oxygen consumption (CMRO2).
