Trial summary

This study will examine the relationship of oxygen levels, using Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) monitoring, and kidney injury in infants born prematurely. NIRS is a skin sensor which detects the amount of oxygen going to different organs, most often used to monitor the brain and kidney. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Use of NIRS to Detect Acute Kidney Injury in Preterm Infants

This study will examine the relationship of oxygen levels, using Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) monitoring, and kidney injury in infants born prematurely. NIRS is a skin sensor which detects the amount of oxygen going to different organs, most often used to monitor the brain and kidney.

Read the detailed description

This prospective, single-center study was conducted at UnityPoint Health-Meriter Hospital (Madison, WI, USA) in preterm neonates admitted to a level III NICU from April 2018 to August 2019. The primary study aim was to assess changes in RrSO2 with continuous renal NIRS monitoring to detect AKI during the first 7 days of age.

The INVOS 5100 C (Somanetics, Troy, MI, USA) four channel NIRS monitors were used to measure RrSO2 (measured at the right or left flank) and Cerebral regional Somatic tissue Oxygenation (CrSO2; measured at the forehead) for all neonates. At each measurement site, for skin protection, subjects had a transparent Mepitel (with Safetac Technology, Norcross, GA) adhesive dressing placed with the adhesive neonatal NIRS sensor (INVOS OxyAlert NIRSensor, Covidien) adhered over the Mepitel dressing. Neither cerebral or kidney sensors were placed with ultrasound guidance. Tissue oxygenation was recorded every 3 seconds until 7 days of age, and the sensor was changed one time when the patient reached three to four days of age per the company's recommendation. There were no restrictions on positioning or handling of neonates; nurses re-positioned neonates every 3-6 hours per unit protocol to prevent skin pressure injuries. Researchers, staff, and parents were blinded to RrSO2 values.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Renal NIRS Tissue Oxygenation Differential

    Comparison of Renal saturation (Rsat) in neonates with AKI to those without AKI. RSO2 will be recorded until 7 days of age. Median RSO2 for 1 week and median for individual days 2-7 will be calculated.

    The INVOS 5100 C (Somanetics, Troy, MI, USA) four channel NIRS monitors will be used to measure renal regional oxygenation (RrSO2) values for all neonates.

    Measured: Up to 1 week

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Correlation of Renal NIRS Values to Serum Creatinine

    At each time a serum creatinine was collected, the RrSO2 value was recorded.

    Measured: Days 1-7 of age

  2. Correlation of Renal NIRS Values to Urine Output

    In patients with urine output recorded, it was compared to RrSO2 values

    Measured: Days 1-7 of age

  3. Baseline Renal NIRS Values Before Caffeine

    these are the average renal NIRS values over 6 hours prior to a dose of caffeine broken down by percentage

    Measured: Baseline (6 hours prior to caffeine dose)

  4. Renal NIRS Values 1 Hour After Caffeine

    Renal NIRS values one hour after caffeine broken down by baseline average.

    Measured: At 1 hour after caffeine dose

  5. Renal NIRS Values 2 Hours After Caffeine

    Renal NIRS values 2 hours after caffeine broken down by baseline average

    Measured: At 2 hours after caffeine dose

  6. Renal NIRS Values 3 Hours After Caffeine

    Renal NIRS values 3 hours after caffeine broken down by baseline average

    Measured: At 3 hours after caffeine dose

  7. Renal NIRS Values 4 Hours After Caffeine

    Renal NIRS values 4 hours after caffeine broken down by baseline average

    Measured: At 4 hours after caffeine dose

  8. Renal NIRS Values 6 Hours After Caffeine

    Renal NIRS values 6 hours after caffeine broken down by baseline average

    Measured: At 6 hours after caffeine dose
