Fetal Hemoglobin and Tissue Oxygenation Measured With Near-Infrared Spectroscopy—A Systematic Qualitative Review
Fetal hemoglobin (HbF) is a principal oxygen carrier in the blood of preterm and term neonates. Compared to adult hemoglobin, it has a significantly higher affinity for oxygen and its oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve (ODC) is left-shifted accordingly. Tissue oxygenation measured with near-infrared s...
