Brief Summary: The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between cerebral and peripheral oxygenation and oxygen extraction as measured by NIRS near-infrared spectroscopy and the FHbF fraction of fetal hemoglobin and absolute HbF fetal hemoglobin concentration in postnatal conditions in term and preterm neonates
Detailed Description: During gestation the main fetal oxygen carrier is fetal hemoglobin HbF HbF exhibits a significantly higher affinity for oxygen when compared to adult hemoglobin HbA which makes it more suitable for oxygen extraction at the lower partial oxygen pressures in utero Although the regulation of HbF expression is determined developmentally recent studies report a respectable variation in the fraction of HbF in neonates

Such data suggest that the differences in HbF expression could affect end-tissue oxygenation in neonates

The methodology for measuring oxygen saturation and extraction in cerebral and peripheral tissues of neonates using the near-infrared spectroscopy NIRS has been well practiced in our study group However the method has not yet been used to investigate whether the fraction of fetal hemoglobin FHbF plays a significant role in cerebral and peripheral oxygenation in neonates

The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between cerebral and peripheral oxygenation and oxygen extraction as measured by NIRS and the FHbF and absolute HbF concentration in postnatal conditions in term and preterm neonates
