Evaluation of two SpO alarm strategies during automated FiO control in the NICU: a randomized crossover study.

Background: Changes in oxygen saturation (SpO) exposure have been shown to have a marked impact on neonatal outcomes and therefore careful titration of inspired oxygen is essential. In routine use, however, the frequency of SpO alarms not requiring intervention results in alarm fatigue and its corresponding risk. SpO control systems that automate oxygen adjustments (Auto-FiO) have been shown to be safe and effective.

[Parents avoiding child vaccination in the neonatal period - an analysis of attitudes].

Objective: Parents' avoidance of vaccination is a growing phenomenon and leads to the deterioration of the epidemiological situation regarding diseases included in active prevention programs. The aim of the study was to analyze the attitudes of parents who avoid vaccination in newborns.

Patients And Methods: Material and methods: The study included parents who refused to perform vaccination in theirnewborn.

Risk factors for adverse events after vaccinations performed during the initial hospitalization of infants born prematurely.

Introduction: There are significant delays in implementing vaccination among preterm infants.

Objectives: Description of the frequency and kinds of adverse events following immunization in preterms. Establishment of the group of preterms who will distinctively be susceptible to adverse events.

USING THE AUTOMATED FIO2- SPO2 CONTROL IN NEONATAL INTENSIVE CARE UNITS IN POLAND. A PRELIMINARY REPORT.

Aim: Analysis of the way in which a new method of implementing the automated control of oxygen therapy during respiratory support is applied in newborns with respiratory failure.

Material, Methods And Results: The AVEA-CLiO2 ventilator with automated FiO2- SpO2 control was used in our study of 121 newborns conducted between February 2014 and January 2015 in five neonatal intensive care units. A web-based database was used to gather information entered concurrently with using the FiO2- SpO2 control system.

Automated versus Manual Oxygen Control with Different Saturation Targets and Modes of Respiratory Support in Preterm Infants.

Objective: To determine the efficacy and safety of automated adjustment of the fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) in maintaining arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2) within a higher (91%-95%) and a lower (89%-93%) target range in preterm infants.

Study Design: Eighty preterm infants (gestational age [median]: 26 weeks, age [median] 18 days) on noninvasive (n = 50) and invasive (n = 30) respiratory support with supplemental oxygen, were first randomized to one of the SpO2 target ranges and then treated with automated FiO2 (A-FiO2) and manual FiO2 (M-FiO2) oxygen control for 24 hours each, in random sequence.

Results: The percent time within the target range was higher during A-FiO2 compared with M-FiO2 control.
