Introduction: The oxygenation index (OI) is a marker for respiratory disease severity and adverse neonatal outcomes. The oxygen saturation index (OSI) is an alternative that allows for c
Background: Respiratory rate is difficult to measure, especially in neonates who have an irregular breathing pattern. The World Health Organisation recommends a one minute count, but there is limited
Time plots of O2 PC for the 6 measurement sessions with different respiratory rates (RR, number of breaths per minute). The red shaded region in each of the subplots represents one breath cycle with d
As neonatal resuscitation critically depends upon lung aeration at birth, knowledge of the progression of this process is required to guide ongoing care. We investigated whether expired CO2 (ECO2) lev
Vital sign monitoring in neonates requires adhesive electrodes, which often damage fragile newborn skin. Because impulse radio ultrawideband (IR-UWB) radar has been reported to recognize chest movemen
