Summary

This prospective observational study aims to determine the blood pressure range in which cerebral autoregulation is maintained in preterm neonates, preterm infants, term neonates, and term infants undergoing non-cardiac surgery under general anesthesia. Cerebral autoregulation will be assessed using the cerebral oximetry index, calculated from mean arterial pressure and regional cerebral oxygen saturation measured by near-infrared spectroscopy.

A total of 160 patients, 40 in each age group, will be enrolled. The lower limit of autoregulation, optimal mean arterial pressure, and upper limit of autoregulation will be estimated for each patient and compared across age groups. The results may help support age-specific intraoperative blood pressure management in vulnerable pediatric patients.
