Cerebral Tissue Oxygenation Values in Newborns Measured Using Laser and LED NIRS Oximeters

A Comparison of Cerebral Tissue Oxygenation Values in Newborns Measured Simultaneously Using Laser and LED NIRS Oximeters

The aim of the study is to compare the values of cerebral tissue oxygenation measured simultaneously using laser light (FORE-SIGHT) and LED (INVOS) cerebral oximeters.
