Abstract
Blood transfusion therapy is the current standard of care to reduce elevated risk of primary and recurrent strokes in children with sickle cell disease. Despite great success, chronic transfusion is not without significant risks and comes with a substantial burden. Individualized cerebral monitoring for goal-oriented therapy may better ensure optimal response to treatment and further mitigate risk of infarctions. In this study, we demonstrate diffuse optical spectroscopies (Diffuse Correlation Spectroscopy and Frequency-Domain Near-infrared Spectroscopy) as a simple and low-cost means for bedside assessments of changes in cerebral blood flow, oxygen extraction, and metabolic rate of oxygen in response to transfusion.
