Evaluating a Wireless NIRS Device in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit

Sponsor: McGill University Health Centre/Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre

Summary

The wireless NIRS sensor will be placed on the participant's forehead, directly underneath the INVOS wired sensor. The wireless NIRS sensor will remain in place for 4 consecutive hours, over 2 consecutive days. As standard-of-care, nursing personnel removes all sensors at every care to evaluate skin and reduce the risk of pressure sores. The wireless NIRS device will be removed and reapplied at the same time, by the research team who will annotate what time the sensor was removed, replaced, and the condition of the skin. This will be used to correlate signal disconnection with sensor care (i.e., skin checks, sensor removal, etc.).
