To determine oxygen saturation profile over 6 h monitoring period in healthy late-preterm and term neonates during the first 48 h of age, and to assess the impact of gestational age, birth weight and ...

Neonatologists have provided new insights into how much oxygen preterm infants should receive as well as the optimal way to deliver it to them. A national study involving a UT Southwestern Medical ...

A study led by Dr. Waldemar A. Carlo of UAB has shown that higher oxygen saturation in the blood of premature infants increases the chances of blindness. "This is a seminal trial and a breakthrough in ...

The risk of death by age two among infants born before 28 weeks' gestation is up to 45 per cent higher when they receive targeted oxygen saturation in the range of 85-89 per cent compared to 91-95 per ...

High-flow oxygen therapy through a nasal cannula has been increasingly used in infants with bronchiolitis, despite limited high-quality evidence of its efficacy. The efficacy of high-flow oxygen ...

Controlled oxygen administration and improved neonatal care reduced the incidence of severe retinopathy of prematurity and mortality in very low birth weight infants, according to a study. The ...

Since the widespread adoption of pulse oximetry in patient assessment, the frequency of bronchiolitis admissions has more than doubled. Recent evidence [1] suggests that pulse oxygen saturation (SpO 2 ...

The National Institutes of Health have awarded $1.1 million to a Worcester Polytechnic Institute-led research project aimed at reducing racial bias in care for premature infants. The project intends ...

Background The cross-sectional association between cerebral tissue oxygen saturation (SctO2) and heart failure (HF) has been ...

A duo of biomedical engineers in Kenya are designing low-cost regulators to help nurses safely manage oxygen in premature ...
