About

Protocol Near infrared spectroscopy liver transplants: comparison of two monitoring of Near infrared spectroscopy in pediatric liver transplant.

Full description

Hyperbilirubinaemia may interfere with oximetry values as measured by Near Infrared Spectroscopy devices. The number of wave lengths used by different devices can influence the oximetry values in adult patients. This has never been demonstrated in children with hyperbilirubinaemia scheduled for elective liver transplantation.The study will compare cerebral and somatic oximetry values measured by two different Near infrared spectroscopy devices (FORESIGHT and INVOS) and analyse the influence of bilirubin levels on these differences.
