A Critical Appraisal of the Role of Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU)
An observational study of Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, run by Akron Children's Hospital at 1 site in United States.
Trial summary
While near infrared spectroscopy is an exciting technology, scientific rigor is required in order to optimize its appropriate use in the clinical arena. This study will explore the feasibility and clinical applicability of data obtained from the NIRS device. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Is There a Canary in the PICU? A Critical Appraisal of the Role of Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU)
While near infrared spectroscopy is an exciting technology, scientific rigor is required in order to optimize its appropriate use in the clinical arena. This study will explore the feasibility and clinical applicability of data obtained from the NIRS device. The ability to noninvasively monitor peripheral perfusion remains an area of intense research. The most widely used method is pulse oximetry. The international mandate of its use in operating rooms in the early 1990s after the publication of the Harvard minimum standards for monitoring speaks to its unquestionable utility. Its pervasive application notwithstanding, pulse oximetry merely provides a calibrated ratio of arterial and venous hemoglobin saturation. While this data is valuable, time-tested, and even may hold the promise of accurately noninvasively trending cardiac output, cellular dysmetabolism -- hallmarks of vulnerable, yet viable tissue beds -- are beyond the predictive values of currently available devices.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Cardiac patients | Postoperative congenital heart disease patients requiring stay in the PICU | |
| non-cardiac patients | non-cardiac patients requiring stay in the PICU |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Comparison of data obtained using Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) versus traditional Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) clinical parameters
Upon arrival to PICU, 1 lead will be place on the forehead to monitor cerebral regional saturation (CrSO2)and 1 lead will be placed on the flank to measure somatic regional saturation (SrSO2).
Measured: 48 hours

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
While near infrared spectroscopy is an exciting technology, scientific rigor is required in order to optimize its appropriate use in the clinical arena. This study will explore the feasibility and clinical applicability of data obtained from the NIRS device. The ability to noninvasively monitor peripheral perfusion remains an area of intense research. The most widely used method is pulse oximetry. The international mandate of its use in operating rooms in the early 1990s after the publication of the Harvard minimum standards for monitoring speaks to its unquestionable utility. Its pervasive application notwithstanding, pulse oximetry merely provides a calibrated ratio of arterial and venous hemoglobin saturation. While this data is valuable, time-tested, and even may hold the promise of accurately noninvasively trending cardiac output, cellular dysmetabolism -- hallmarks of vulnerable, yet viable tissue beds -- are beyond the predictive values of currently available devices.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, run by Akron Children's Hospital at 1 site in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Jun 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Comparison of data obtained using Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) versus traditional Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) clinical parameters (time frame: 48 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01282099, which also lists 14 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Jun 2014; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
