Because such infants are susceptible to major fluctuations in mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), impaired cerebrovascular autoregulation would increase the likelihood for the changes in CBF that could result in GMH-IVH and PVL. The objectives of this study were to determine whether a state of impaired cerebrovascular autoregulation could be identified reliably and conveniently at the bedside, the frequency of any such impairment, and the relation of the impairment to the subsequent occurrence of severe GMH-IVH and PVL.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Patients and Methods.<\/jats:title><jats:p>To monitor the cerebral circulation continuously and noninvasively, we used near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to determine quantitative changes in cerebral concentrations of oxygenated hemoglobin (HbO2) and deoxygenated hemoglobin (Hb) from the first hours of life. Our previous experimental study showed a strong correlation between a measure of cerebral intravascular oxygenation (HbD), ie, HbD = HbO2 \u2212 Hb, determined by NIRS, and volemic CBF, determined by radioactive microspheres. We studied 32 very low birth weight premature infants (gestational age: 23\u201331 weeks; birth weight: 605-1870 g) requiring mechanical ventilation, supplemental oxygen, and invasive blood pressure monitoring by NIRS from 1 to 3 days of age. MAP measured by arterial catheter pressure transducer and arterial oxygen saturation measured by pulse oximetry were recorded simultaneously. The relationship of MAP to HbD was quantitated by coherence analysis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results.<\/jats:title><jats:p>Concordant changes (coherence scores &amp;gt;.5) in HbD and MAP, consistent with impaired cerebrovascular autoregulation, were observed in 17 of the 32 infants (53%). Eight of the 17 infants (47%) developed severe GMH-IVH or PVL or both. Of the 15 infants with apparently intact autoregulation, ie, coherence scores &amp;lt;.5, only 2 (13%) developed severe ultrasonographic lesions. Thus, for the entire study population of 32 infants, 8 of the 10 with severe lesions exhibited coherence scores &amp;gt;.5.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions.<\/jats:title><jats:p>We conclude that NIRS can be used in a noninvasive manner at the bedside to identify premature infants with impaired cerebrovascular autoregulation, that this impairment is relatively common in such infants, and that the presence of this impairment is associated with a high likelihood of occurrence of severe GMH-IVH\/PVL.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.106.4.625","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,8,13]],"date-time":"2004-08-13T23:50:41Z","timestamp":1092441041000},"page":"625-632","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":485,"title":["Cerebral Intravascular Oxygenation Correlates With Mean Arterial Pressure in Critically Ill Premature Infants"],"prefix":"10.1542","volume":"106","author":[{"given":"Miles","family":"Tsuji","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Joint Program in Neonatology, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts; and the Departments of"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J.
