NCT05648812
Neonatal Brain Ultrasound With CEUS and Elastography
Conditions: Neonatal Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy, Neonatal Stroke, Neonatal Encephalopathy, Unspecified
Sex: All
Ages: 1 Minute – 6 Months
Phase: PHASE3
Enrollment: 100
Sponsor: Turku University Hospital
Location: Finland
Summary
The aim of our study is to investigate changes of brain perfusion and elasticity in neonates during the time that a neonate is adapting to live outside the womb and during diseases that are suspected to affect neonatal brain perfusion.
We use contrast enhanced ultrasound (sulphur hexafluoride) and ultrasound-assisted elastography to evaluate the state of brain perfusion.
We will study neonates recruited from the Neonatal Units of Turku University Hospital.
