The neonatal oxycardiorespirogram

M R Neuman et al. Crit Rev Biomed Eng. 1984.

Abstract

The neonatal oxycardiorespirogram is the simultaneous recording of respiration rate, respiration waveform, instantaneous heart rate, transcutaneous oxygen tension, and relative skin perfusion or "blood flow" from newborn infants. It is important in monitoring the high risk infant to assess the cardiovascular and respiratory function of the patient. The techniques for obtaining the various signals of the oxycardiorespirogram are reviewed and the usual method for making this recording is presented. Several examples of typical oxycardiorespirograms are given.
