      Background: ST-segment changes to the fetal electrocardiogram (ECG) may indicate fetal acidosis. No large-scale characterization of ECG morphology immediately after birth has been performed, but ECG is used for heart rate (HR) assessment. We aimed to investigate ECG morphology immediately after birth in asphyxiated infants, using one-lead dry-electrode ECG developed for HR measurement. Methods: ...

      <i>Aim</i> - To explore and compare expired CO<sub>2</sub> (ECO<sub>2</sub>) and heart rate (HR), during newborn resuscitation with bag-mask ventilation, as predictors of 24-h outcome.<br><br> <i>Methods</i> - Observational study from March 2013 to June 2017 in a rural Tanzanian hospital. Side-stream measures of ECO<sub>2</sub>, ventilation parameters, HR, clinical information, and 24-h outcome ...
