Summary

This study tested a new, noninvasive device that uses light to monitor brain activity, blood flow, and oxygen use in extremely premature babies. Researchers followed 100 infants born before 29 weeks to see if the device could safely detect problems that might lead to bleeding in the brain. The goal is to give doctors a better tool to protect these fragile newborns in their first days of life.
