Figure 6

(a) Photo of bNIRS and NIRS monitoring (far left, in colour) brain metabolism in the NICU. (b) Example of continuous NIRS data with pulse oximetry (top) showing bilateral responses in cerebral oxygenation and metabolism to arterial desaturation (lower 2 graphs). The metabolic response to desaturation was found to be predictive of brain injury severity; poor outcome is predicted when there is a coupling of metabolism and oxygenation, as seen in this example (Bale et al., 2019)
