NIRS Team Update(s)
What does the future hold for newborns with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy? Research led by Ellen Grant, Ivy Lin, and Jason Sutin shows the potential of a bedside technology that measures the cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen consumption (CMRO2), an indicator of brain metabolism and health. CMRO2 the day after hypothermia was a strong predictor of cognitive and motor outcomes at 18 months, so could help flag infants needing more intensive services. #NICU
