299 Does the Method Used for Monitoring Affect Stability of Oxygenation in Preterm Infants?

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 ...

Comparison of volume guarantee and volume-controlled ventilation both using closed loop inspired oxygen in preterm infants: a randomised crossover study (CLIO-VG study)

Conclusion There was no significant difference in time spent in target SpO2 range between VG and VCV when A-FiO2 was used as the FiO2 controller in this crossover randomised control study. Trial ...

Optimization of Inspired Oxygen during Mechanical Ventilation (OPTI-OXYGEN): rationale and design of a pragmatic randomised controlled trial

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

Automation control algorithms in gas mixture for preterm infant oxygen therapy

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 ...

Predict-PaO2-with-SpO2

This project aims to predict PaO2 values based on SpO2 and other patient data. The dataset used are extracted from MIMIC III database. There are two scripts in this project: Regressor: Predict PaO2 ...

Abstract 13374: Effect of Increasing Fraction of Inspired Oxygen on Cerebral NIRS and Systemic Cardiac Output in Early Post-operative Single Ventricle Patients

Background: The use of pulse oximetry (SpO2) as an estimate of cardiac output (CO) in shunted single ventricle patients ignores pulmonary venous and mixed systemic venous saturation (MVO2). With a ...
