Defining Reference Ranges for Cerebral Oxygenation In Neonates (COIN) During Immediate Neonatal Transition After Birth

Especially in neonates non-invasive methods are required for monitoring the complex changes during immediate transition after birth to improve assessment of neonate and eventually resuscitation. During this period especially, the brain is vulnerable and monitoring the brain and possible influencing factors of cerebral oxygenation and perfusion are of great interest. To initiate and guide therapies based on cerebral oxygenation, it is important to define reference ranges.
