Abstract:
Open-loop computer control of inspired oxygen concentration was evaluated in 16 newborn infants requiring mechanical ventilation. FIO2 and oxygen saturation were compared for 2-hour periods of computer versus routine manual FIO2 adjustment. During computer-assisted FIO2 adjustment, patients spent more time at the target SaO2 and less time with SaO2 < 90%.
