PAS Meeting in Baltimore
The research group of CSAR is at the PAS Meeting in Baltimore. Come to our Posters and Platform Presentations: Poster - Session, April 30th 2016 634 - The Effects of High Frequency Oscillatory Ventilation (HFOV) With and Without Volume Guarantee (VG) on Ventilation and Oxygenation in a Newborn Piglet Model of Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS)

An Encyclopedia of Respiratory Function in Newborn infants
We are proud to present the first Encyclopedia of Respiratory Function in Newborn infants. Together with leading experts in the field of neonatal resuscitation research we have just uploaded the first ebook on respiratory function during neonatal simulation and resuscitation. However, inexperience and lack of knowledge about the displayed waveforms may lead to misinterpretation of the signals. Therefore anyone using this technology must be trained to interpret pressure, flow

The Next Step - a new device for mask ventilation in the Delivery Room
Mask ventilation remains the cornerstone of respiratory support in the delivery room. Pitfalls during mask ventilation are mask leak or airway obstruction, which could cause lower tidal volume delivery. In addition, operators generally sue a set pressure to deliver an adequate tidal volume. This adequate tidal volume delivery is judged by observing chest rise. However, the tidal volume is never measured. We tested a prototype ventilation device “The Next Step” designed by KM

Unraveling the Links Between the Initiation of Ventilation and Brain Injury in Preterm Infants
Latest publication from CSAR: The initiation of ventilation in the delivery room is one of the most important but least controlled interventions a preterm infant will face. Tidal volumes (VT) used in the neonatal intensive care unit are carefully measured and adjusted. However, the VTs that an infant receives during resuscitation are usually unmonitored and highly variable. Inappropriate VTs delivered to preterm infants during respiratory support substantially increase the ri

Low cerebral activity and cerebral oxygenation during immediate transition in term neonates-A prospe
Our latest publication in collaboration with the reserachteam from Graz, Austria: AIM: To analyze whether in term neonates during immediate transition after birth low cerebral activity measured by amplitude-integrated EEG (aEEG) is linked to cerebral regional oxygen saturation (crSO2) measured by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). Additionally, the cerebral fractional tissue oxygen extraction (cFTOE) was calculated to analyze whether cerebral activity is linked to cFTOE. METH
