- Abstract:
- OBJECTIVE: The association between blood glucose level and cerebral oxygenation (cerebral regional oxygen saturation [crSO2] and cerebral fractional tissue oxygen extraction [FTOE]) in neonates has already been described. Aim of the present study was to investigate if acid-base and other metabolic parameters have an impact on cerebral oxygenation immediately after birth in preterm and term neonates. STUDY DESIGN: Post-hoc analyses of secondary outcome parameters of two prospective observational studies were performed. Preterm and term neonates born by caesarean section were included, in whom i) cerebral near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) measurements were performed during the first 15 minutes after birth and ii) a capillary blood gas analysis was performed between 10 and 20 minutes after birth. Vital signs were routinely monitored with pulse oximetry (arterial oxygen saturation [SpO2] and heart rate [HR]). Correlation analyses were performed to investigate potential associations between acid-base and metabolic parameters (lactate [LAC], pH-value [pH], base-excess [BE] and bicarbonate [HCO3]) from capillary blood and NIRS-derived crSO2 and FTOE at 15 minutes after birth. RESULTS: One-hundred-fifty-seven neonates, 42 preterm neonates (median gestational age [IQR] 34.0 weeks [3.3], median birth weight 1845g [592]) and 115 term neonates (median gestational age [IQR] 38.9 weeks [1.0], median birth weight 3230g [570]) were included in the study. Median crSO2 [IQR] values at 15 minutes after birth were 82% [16] in preterm neonates and 83% [12] in term neonates. Median FTOE [IQR] values at 15 minutes after birth were 0.13 [0.15] in preterm neonates and 0.14 [0.14] in term neonates. In preterm neonates, higher LAC and lower pH and BE were associated with lower crSO2 and higher FTOE. In term neonates, higher HCO3 was associated with higher FTOE. CONCLUSION: There were significant associations between several acid-base and metabolic parameters and cerebral oxygenation in preterm neonates, while in term neonates only HCO3 correlated positively with FTOE.
