Brain injuries remain a significant problem for preterm infants, despite extensive
physiological monitoring. Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) monitoring in the neonatal
intensive care unit has to date remained limited to research activities. Conclusion This
review highlights the increasing clinical application of NIRS in delivery suites and neonatal
units. Four randomised controlled trials incorporating NIRS monitoring suggest that the
future may indeed be brighter for this technology in the care of very preterm infants.
