Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this observational study is to determine the feasibility of renal Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) monitoring in the newborn nursery for newborns at low risk of coarctation of the aorta (CoA). The main questions it aims to answer are:

• whether continuous renal NIRS monitoring is feasible;

• whether NIRS monitoring results in higher nursing and parent/caregiver satisfaction than current standard monitoring; and,

• whether participants who develop CoA will spend a smaller proportion of time within the normal range than patients who do not have CoA.

Participants will be observed through continuous renal oxygenation monitoring with NIRS.

• Agrees to enroll neonate into study

• Aged 15 years or older

• Pregnant mother with a baby diagnosed prenatally as at risk for CoA will be eligible for the study. They must also meet the following criteria:

• Require an "arch watch care plan" as a results of prenatal ultrasonography findings

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Percent of time monitored	Amount of time continuously monitored will be calculated	Up to 2 weeks post-delivery, on average
Primary	Count of adverse and unexpected events	All adverse and unexpected events will be recorded	Up to 2 weeks post-delivery
Secondary	Change in nursing satisfaction with renal NIRS monitoring	A subjective description of survey responses in addition to determining which method of monitoring is preferred: NIRS vs. Enhanced BP/Pulse ox checks. Survey will be conducted at the beginning of the study, and one year later.	Study start to one year later
Secondary	Parent/caregiver satisfaction with renal NIRS monitoring	A subjective description of survey responses in addition to determining which method of monitoring is preferred: NIRS vs. Enhanced BP/Pulse ox checks	Up to 2 weeks post-delivery, on average
