Abstract
Aim
Current non-invasive near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) tissue oximetry suffers from suboptimal reproducibility over probe repositioning, hindering clinical threshold establishment. Time Domain-NIRS (TD-NIRS) offers higher precision but lacks sufficient paediatric data, preventing effective clinical application. We aimed to establish reference ranges for cerebral and mid-upper arm (MUA) tissue haemodynamics in paediatric subjects using TD-NIRS and explore correlations with auxological variables.
Methods
TD-NIRS measurements were conducted acquiring data from cerebral and MUA regions with the NIRSBOX tissue oximeter. Morphological and clinically relevant information were collected to explore potential correlations with TD-NIRS derived parameters.
Results
TD-NIRS assessment was applied in 350 children (8.4 ± 5.0 years). Precision of TD-NIRS was demonstrated with standard deviations of 0.9% (StO2) and 4.2 μM (tHb) for frontotemporal cerebral cortex, and 0.8% (StO2) and 3.7 μM (tHb) for MUA. No user dependency was observed. The trends of values for cerebral and peripheral regions vary differently according to age and auxological parameters.
Conclusion
This study reports resting-state optical and haemodynamic values for a healthy paediatric population, providing a foundation for future investigations into clinically relevant deviations in these parameters. Furthermore, correlations with anthropometric and demographic values provide valuable insights for a deeper understanding of tissue haemodynamic evolution in childhood.
