Pulse oximetry in preterm infants.
One hundred and twenty five measurements of arterial oxygen saturation (Stcao2) obtained with a transcutaneous pulse oximeter were compared with direct arterial oxygen tension (Pao2) in 13 preterm infants with predominantly fetal haemoglobin. Stcao2 of 86-92% corresponded to Pao2 of 5-13 kPa. Stcao2 above 92%, however, was sometimes associated with Pao2 above 13 kPa.
متن کاملWhy Believe That There Is a God?
This article presents an argument for the existence of God, showing that the evident phenomena are best explained by supposing that a God causes them. The argument is based on the inductive force of four very evident general phenomena: that there is a physical Universe; that it is governed by very simple natural laws; that those laws are such as to lead to the existence of human bodies; and tha...
متن کاملPulse oximetry in pediatric practice.
The introduction of pulse oximetry in clinical practice has allowed for simple, noninvasive, and reasonably accurate estimation of arterial oxygen saturation. Pulse oximetry is routinely used in the emergency department, the pediatric ward, and in pediatric intensive and perioperative care. However, clinically relevant principles and inherent limitations of the method are not always well unders...
متن کاملProne sleeping is a risk for SIDS, not for suffocation.
Although the Safe Infant Sleeping Environment campaign is a worthwhile endeavor for the Academy and its partners, the recommendations should have been listed as 2 separate columns: 1 for sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and 1 for accidental trauma to the infant. It is a stretch of the facts to say, in both the abstract and the introduction, that “many of the modifiable risks and nonmodifiabl...
متن کاملInfant home respiratory monitoring using pulse oximetry.
Respiratory rate (RR) is a valuable early marker of illness in vulnerable infants, but current monitoring methods are unsuitable for sustained home use. We have demonstrated accurate measurement of RR from brief recordings of pulse oximeter plethysmogram (pleth) trace in full-term neonates in hospital. This study assessed the feasibility of this method in preterm infants during overnight record...
