Differentiating Pathophysiological Mechanisms of Hypoxemia Episodes by Continuous Lung Function Monitoring in Preterm Infants
Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Other
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY
Premature infants commonly have desaturation episodes due to different reasons such as cessation of breathing or loss of lung volume. The purpose of this study is to differentiate the mechanisms of desaturation episodes with continuous lung volume monitoring. As we better understand the mechanisms underlying the desaturation episodes, newer strategies directed at underlying pathophysiology can potentially by evaluated for mitigation of these episodes.
