Cerebral Tissue Oxygen Saturation Measurements in Perinatal Asphyxia Cases Treated with Therapeutic Hypothermia.

Cerebral tissue oxygen saturation (CrSO) measured with near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) technology has recently become the subject of several research studies. The aim of this study was to investigate the diagnostic value of CrSO measurements in perinatal asphyxia (PA) cases. The study included a patient group of 42 PA cases, who were to be applied with therapeutic hypothermia (TH), and a control group of 42 healthy term newborns.
