      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 ...
    • Predictors fpr expired CO2 in neonatal bag-mask ventilation at birth: observational study 

      Holte, Kari; Ersdal, Hege Langli; Eilevstjønn, Joar; Thallinger, Monica; Linde, Jørgen Erland; Klingenberg, Claus; Holst, René; Jatosh, Samwel; Kidanto, Hussein; Stordal, Ketil (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-09-26)
      <p><i>Background - </i>Expired carbon dioxide (ECO<sub>2</sub>) indicates degree of lung aeration immediately after birth. Favourable ventilation techniques may be associated with higher ECO<sub>2</sub> and a faster increase. Clinical condition will however also affect measured values. The aim of this study was to explore the relative impact of ventilation factors and clinical factors on ECO<sub>2</sub> ...
    • Simuleringsbasert teamtrening virker 

      Brattebø, Guttorm; Ersdal, Hege Langli; Wisborg, Torben (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-12-09)
      Trening av tverrprofesjonelle team med bruk av simulering brukes særlig ved forberedelse til akuttmedisinske situasjoner. Det foreligger nå god dokumentasjon for at slik trening har betydning for pasientene. 27. mars 1977 skjedde verdens hittil verste flykatastrofe, der 583 personer omkom på Tenerife etter at to jumbojeter kolliderte på flyplassen i tett tåke. Granskningen etter katastrofen ...
