Background: Oxygen saturation (SpO2) and transcutaneous oxygen tension (TcPO2) monitors are used widely to monitor oxygen levels in preterm neonates. Response to these monitors by changing fraction of ...

Oxygen is the most common drug used in the neonatal intensive care. It has a narrow therapeutic range in preterm infants. Too high (hyperoxemia) or low oxygen (hypoxemia) is associated with adverse ...

Introduction Targeted oxygenation protocols in mechanically ventilated patients are critical in avoiding the deleterious effects of hypoxaemia and hyperoxaemia. Peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) is ...

Abstract: Pre-term infants often suffered from immature lung development, which caused oxygen saturation (SpO2) to be fewer than 90% (98-100% for normal infants). Oxygen therapy was an essential ...

Objective To investigate the efficacy of automated control of inspired oxygen (FiO2) by Predictive Intelligent Control of Oxygenation (PRICO) on the Fabian ventilator in maintaining oxygen saturation ...
