Cerebral oxygen saturation in neonates: a bedside comparison between neonatal and adult NIRS sensors.

Background: The majority of neonatal NIRS literature recommends target ranges for cerebral saturation (rScO) based on data using adult sensors. Neonatal sensors are now commonly used in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). However, there is limited clinical data correlating these two measurements of cerebral oxygenation.
