Automatic Detection and Parameterization of Manual Bag-Mask Ventilation on Newborns
Objectives:
Birth asphyxia is a condition where a fetus suffers from lack of oxygen during birth. Intervention by manual ventilation should start within one minute after birth. Bag-mask resuscitators are commonly used in situations where ventilation is provided by a single health care worker. Due to a high complexity of interactions between physiological conditions of the newborns and the clinical treatment, the recommendations for bag-mask ventilation of infants remains controversial. The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the processing and parameterization of ventilation signals recorded from the Laerdal newborn resuscitation monitor into meaningful data.
Methods:
Basic signal processing approaches are applied on various signal channels (airway pressure, flow, CO 2, and ECG) to detect events related to ventilation activities.
Results:
Different types of events are detected and parameterized to describe the characteristics of ventilation procedure.
Conclusions:
Efficient detection algorithms as well as parameterization of ventilation events could be useful for retrospective analysis of resuscitation data, for example, by finding the association between different ventilation parameters and positive responses of newborns.
Significance:
Information about ventilation events and ventilation parameters could potentially be useful during a resuscitation situation by giving immediate feedback to the health care provider.

A Ventilation assessment is critical for monitoring a patient's health status. Respiration, one of the most accessible vital signs, provides insights into the function of numerous body systems and can indicate serious health issues, such as brainstem injuries from head trauma.
Critical Guidelines for Assessing Ventilation:
Administering Oxygen by Mask
Administering oxygen by mask is a common nursing intervention that provides supplemental oxygen to patients with respiratory distress or chronic lung conditions. This procedure involves delivering oxygen at a specified rate through a face mask connected to an oxygen source.
