About this trial

The goal of this observational study is to determine the incidence of perioperative cerebral desaturation in neonates undergoing surgery for congenital malformations. The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. The perioperative factors associated with occurrence of cerebral desaturation 2. The association between perioperative cerebral desaturation, perioperative/hospital outcomes, and physiological conditions.

Participants will undergo Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and electroencephalogram (EEG) monitoring for one hour before surgery, during surgery, and up to 24 hours after surgery.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Infants ≤ 60 weeks post-menstrual age on day of surgery.

Neonatal surgery for congenital abdominal/gastrointestinal malformations (diaphragmatic hernia, gastroschisis, omphalocele, intestinal atresia, Hirschsprung's disease, imperforate anus, necrotizing enterocolitis), congenital cystic adenomatoid/pulmonary airway malformation (CCAM/CPAM), esophageal/tracheoesophageal fistula (EF/TEF), and spinal malformations (myelomeningocele, sacrococcygeal teratoma).

The same patient may be enrolled multiple times for repeat or different procedures that meet the above criteria. These subjects will be counted more than once towards the enrollment goal.

Parental/guardian permission.

Disqualifiers
