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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
