[Methods for registration of vital parameters and longtime control in neonatologic intensive care]
Abstract:
The authors report about their experiences in the bed-side monitoring and registration of different vital parameters by means of apparatuses produced in GDR. The following parameters were recorded: electroencephalogram, myogram, electrocardiogram, phonocardiogram, electrocardiotachogram, respirogram, tidal volume, flow-volue and esophageal pressure. Special attention was payed to the problems of electrodes and the practical construction of the systems for the discontinuing and the continuing registration in order to realize an automatical trend-analysis and data-documentation in a neonatal ICU.

Assessment of Ventilation I: Respiratory Rate
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.
