    AbstractBedside monitoring of cerebral circulation or oxygen metabolism in infants to appropriately manage circulation and establish the oxygen dose, aiming at improving the neurological prognosis, is needed in general clinical practice. Near-infrared spectroscopy is used for measurements of neonatal cerebral Hb oxygen saturation, cerebral blood volume, cerebral blood flow and cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen. Near-infrared time-resolved spectroscopy is particularly useful for bedside evaluation of cerebral circulation and oxygen metabolism because of its simple measurement procedure. Combined evaluation of cerebral blood volume and cerebral Hb oxygen saturation is expected to contribute to treatment centering on the brain in neonatal medical care.Copyright © 2013 The Japanese Society of Child Neurology.
