Neonatal Workstation for Inspired Oxygen Control and Clinical Monitoring

چکیده
Introduction The regulation of oxygen delivery to acutely ill infants requiring mechanical ventilation is a vital process in neonatal intensive care medicine. We have designed a microcomputer based system to automatically and continuously control the inspired oxygeff-" concentration (FI02) delivered mechff~ically ventilated newborn infants. In addition, we will utilize this computer platform to collect and analyze clinical data (such as heart rate, respiratory rate, arterial blood pressure, and oxygen saturation) in newborn infants with pulmonary disease.

Blood oxygenation during hyperpressure intraperitoneal fluid administration in a rabbit model of severe liver injury: Evaluation of a novel concept for control of pre-hospital liver bleeding
Oxygen is an essential part of the most important metabolic pathways in aerobic organisms. Oxygen delivery is merely dependent on blood, rendering blood loss a devastating event. Traumatic pre-hospital liver bleeding is a major cause of early trauma deaths in human and animals, with no established therapeutic method yet. Increasing intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) has been shown to reduce liver b...
متن کاملThe impacts of prone position on the blood oxygen saturations and heart rates of preterm infants under the mechanical ventilation
Background: The methods of baby's position are an important critical factor in ventilation and oxygenation of tissues. Although the prone position as one of the recommended position has beneficial effect on the development of premature infants, little research has been done. Methods: In a clinical trial among mechanically ventilated infants, hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care units (N...
متن کاملOxygen in neonatal anesthesia: friend or foe?
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Clinical practices in oxygen administration are in need of change based on the increasing understanding of oxygen toxicity. Hypoxemia is due to many pathophysiological causes; avoiding hypoxemia is an important objective during neonatal anesthesia. Nevertheless, the only known cause for hyperoxemia is the excess and unnecessary administration of oxygen by healthcare providers....
