Respiratory function monitoring
Neuromonitoring
Focusing on delivery room advancements, what exactly has been advanced?
Thermoregulation and thermo monitoring
Delayed cord clamping
Contactless monitoring
Videolaryngoscopy
Video recording
Telemedicine/remote consulting
what is wireless monitoring equipment?
What is crucial for this?
What types of parameters can they have?
Small, wearable and non invasive allowing unrestricted parental care in a more natural and stress free environment
All must have safety with no discomfort, skin changes or local rise in temperature
Accuracy, reliable and efficacy
Single and multiple parameters for displays
What is a quality of respiratory function control monitoring?
Automatic oxygen control
End tidal co2 monitoring
For neuromonitoring, what 3 types are there?
Continuous electroencephalography (cEEG)
Amplitude - integrated electrocephalograohy (aEEG)
Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)
How does cerebral function monitoring (CFM) work?
Current machine incorporates raw EEG
Signal is amplified, filtered, compressed on semi log scale
Localised EEC (1 or 2 channels)
Allows continuous bedside monitoring 24/7
What is CFM also known as?
Amplitude integrated EEG (aEEG)
What is a wearable is used for neuromonitoring?
CortiCap
What is telemedicine?
The delivery of health care services by all health care professionals using information and communication tech for the exchange of valid info for the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease, and injury, research and evaluation ,and continuing education of health care professionals
What are the critical components of telemedicine?
Provision of clinical support (range of services and assistance etc)
Purpose to overcome geographic barriers
The use of a variety of info and communication technology
The objective of improving population health
