Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to develop a novel noninvasive bedside optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging technique in newborn infants with HIE that improves our ability to assess the range of retinal effects from HIE and to diagnose and monitor treatments of HIE.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

Infants are eligible if:

• Admitted to the intensive care nursery, outborn or inborn, with a clinical diagnosis of HIE; and with the approval of the neonatologist

• A parent or legal guardian provides written informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

Potentially eligible infants will be excluded if:

• Congenital or chromosomal anomaly that has a profound impact on brain or eye development (e.g. anencephaly, congenital cataract or Peter's anomaly) and infants for whom there has been a clinical decision to limit life support.

Intervention

Device:
• Optical Coherence Tomography
This is an observational study in which subjects will be imaged with optical coherence tomography (OCT). OCT systems are optical imaging technology that allow non-contact imaging of the microanatomy of the retina, optic nerve head and retinal blood vessels. The OCT devices are held above (and do not touch) the eye. Unlike visible light from many examination devices, the infrared OCT beam is barely visible to the human eye as it sweeps across the retina. Thus the infant is not disturbed by the light.
