This systematic review evaluated the use of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) for continuous monitoring of cerebral oxygenation in term neonates with mild hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). The study established clinical practice guidelines recommending NIRS initiation within the first 6 hours of life and continuous monitoring for the first 24 hours. Key thresholds for nursing assessment were identified.

Key findings

  • NIRS should be initiated within the first 6 hours of life for neonates with mild HIE.
  • Continuous cerebral monitoring is recommended for the first 24 hours in this population.
  • Nursing assessment is advised for rScO2 levels <55% and >85%-90%.

Why it matters

Implementing standardized NIRS monitoring guidelines can facilitate early detection of cerebral oxygenation issues, potentially leading to timely neuroprotective interventions in vulnerable neonates with mild HIE.
