Cerebral rScO2 Measured by Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) During Therapeutic Hypothermia in Neonates with Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy: A Systematic Review.

Introduction: Perinatal asphyxia, a leading cause of neonatal mortality and neurological sequelae, necessitates early detection of pathophysiological neurologic changes during hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE). This study aimed to review published data on rScO2 monitoring during hypothermia treatment in neonates with perinatal asphyxia to predict short- and long-term neurological injury.

Methods: A systematic review was performed using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines.
