Abstract
We report the use of near infrared spectroscopy to detect changes in oxyhae moglobin signal from the abdominal viscera contained within a prolene silo in a neonate with exomphalos. Oxyhaemoglobin levels were low in the supine position and increased when the baby was turned onto either side.
