Presentation Transcript
Emilie Krite Svanberg MD, PhD Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine Sk ne University Hospital Lund/Malm No conflict of interest
50-90 % av preterm infants (v 22-31) Lack of surfactant Immature lungs Inhomogenous air distribution Permanent lung and brain damage X-ray Can the use be reduced?
To develop a new non-invasive surveillance technique for monitoring of lung function in newborn/preterm infants
Strong and clear oxygen signals over the lungs! Measurements possible up to 4 kg Potential for an optical stetoscope Possibly minimizing the need of potentially harmful investigations Probes too large for measurements on preterm infants
Guide respirator settings for infants Follow in real-time result of intervention Optical stetoscope lung borders Lung measurements on adults Possibly minimizing the need of potentially harmful investigations GASMAS could be a valuable complement for surveillance and treatment evaluation of preterm infants
