New study aims to map healthy brain blood flow in newborns
NCT ID NCT07427342
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will use ultrasound to measure blood flow in the brains of 200 healthy newborns, both full-term and premature. The goal is to find normal differences in brain blood flow based on how early a baby is born. These reference values could help doctors spot problems earlier and improve care for newborns.

Inclusion Criteria: * Term neonates ≥ 37 weeks of gestational age. * Preterm neonates \< 37 weeks' gestational age. * Hemodynamically stable infants at the time of examination. * Parental/guardian informed consent obtained. * Within the first 48 hours after birth. * Birth weight appreciate for gestational age. Exclusion Criteria: * Infants aged more than 48 hours after birth. * Neonates with major congenital anomalies (cardiac, neurological, or craniofacial). * Suspected or confirmed intracranial hemorrhage or brain malformations, such as intraventricular hemorrhage, may influence RI measurements and interfere with accurate assessment of cerebral blood flow. * Neonates requiring inotropic support at the time of scan. * Neonates with severe respiratory instability or mechanical ventilation (unless included intentionally). * Infants with sepsis or metabolic derangements affecting cerebral perfusion.
