Abstract:Early extubation is considered to be beneficial for pre-term neonates. On the other hand, premature extubation can cause lung derecruitment, compromised gas exchange, and need for reintubation, which may be associated with severe brain injury caused by sudden cerebral blood flow changes. We used near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to investigate changes in cerebral oxygenation (rScO

) and fractional tissue oxygen extraction (+) after extubation in pre-term infants. This is a single-cente… Show more
