Question: How is arterial blood pressure related to cerebral oxygenation during the immediate postnatal transition in neonates?
Finding: Among preterm infants requiring respiratory support, cerebral oxygenation was associated with diastolic and mean arterial pressures, indicating passive pressure perfusion.
Meaning: Compromised preterm infants are vulnerable to impaired autoregulation with cerebral oxygenation fluctuations, highlighting the need for hemodynamic and cerebral monitoring plus routine monitoring of arterial oxygen saturation and heart rate.

Question: Is prolonged monitoring of regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rcSO₂) and hemodynamic parameters a feasible approach? Can these measures predict the neurological outcomes in extremely preterm infants?
Finding: We used a neurocritical care bundle from birth to discharge or term-equivalent age. Infants with poor outcomes had significantly lower rcSO₂ values.
Meaning: Understanding rcSO₂ and hemodynamic parameters may help manage cerebral hypoxia and reduce neurological complications in extremely preterm infants.
