Figure 2.
Brain monitoring (aEEG and NIRS) in a preterm infant with septic shock. In this infant with hemodynamic instability an early decrease in rSrO2 with normal mean blood pressure (32 mmHg) is seen followed by a decrease in rScO2 and associated aEEG burst-suppression (BS) and low blood pressure. After fluid bolus and inotropes, a recovery of rScO2 is noted and associated with recovery of background activity to discontinuous normal voltage (DNV).
