Reliability of transcutaneous monitoring of arterial PO2 in newborn infants.

Noninvasive Monitoring during Interhospital Transport of Newborn Infants

The main indications for interhospital neonatal transports are radiographic studies (e.g., magnet resonance imaging) and surgical interventions.

However, there is increasing evidence tha...

asphyxiated newborn infants

Perinatal asphyxia is a cause of significant morbidity among full term infants, but breathing abnormalities after an asphyxic insult have not been studied. This report details breathing patterns of 16 full term asphyxiated infants, during the first week of life who were studied by transthoracic impedance pneumocardiograms. Pneumocardiograms were abnormal in 69% of infants in the asphyxiated gro...
