What’s hot in neonatal respiratory monitoring?

Abstract

Impact: Respiratory monitoring is an essential part of routine clinical care of the newborn. Recent technological developments have improved respiratory monitoring and allowed for a two-way interaction between the monitored parameter and the level of the provided respiratory support. We herein discuss applications of monitoring by neurally adjusted ventilatory assist, closed-loop oxygen control, tidal capnography, lung ultrasound, diaphragmatic electromyography and lung magnetic resonance imaging.
