About

Near infrared spectroscopy offers the possibility of noninvasive and continuous bedside investigation of cerebral and mesenteric oxygenation in newborn infants. Using this technique the investigators investigated the effect of mydriatic eye drops on cerebral and mesenteric oxygenation in preterm infants

Full description

The cerebral and mesenteric oxygenation will be measured by NIRS before, during and after the mydriatic eye drops are instilled.
