Testing a wireless brain oxygen monitor in the NICU
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study is testing a new wireless device that monitors oxygen levels in the brain. It is for babies already using a similar wired monitor, to see if the wireless version works just as well.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby is in the NICU
- Your baby is at least 32 weeks old (from conception) at the time of monitoring
- Your baby is already using a wired brain oxygen monitor called INVOS
- Your baby does not have any skin issues that could make using the device risky
- Your baby is stable enough and your family is not under too much stress to participate

This study is testing a new, non-invasive way to measure hemoglobin (the part of blood that carries oxygen) using a light sensor on the skin, without needing extra blood draws. The goal is to see if this sensor is accurate for children having heart procedures, which could reduce the number of needle sticks they need.
This study looks at how a new wireless monitoring system could be used in newborn intensive care units (NICUs). It asks staff who work in or support NICU care for their opinions and experiences to help plan how to bring this technology into hospitals.
This study tests a special, non-invasive sensor (near-infrared light) to help doctors choose the best cooling treatment for some newborns after brain injury. It may improve how well cooling works and how safely it’s managed in the first week of life.
This study tests a new soft monitor that uses light to check oxygen levels in your baby's belly, without needles or blood draws. It could help doctors keep a gentle watch on your baby's oxygen levels and find problems early.
This study tests a new way to monitor the brains of very young children (under 2 years old) in the ICU. It aims to give doctors better information to help protect your child's brain.
This study checks how well newborn babies’ brains are getting oxygen and how brain activity changes while they have certain major surgeries. It may help doctors better monitor brain safety during surgery in newborns with specific conditions.
