Quality Improvement on the Long-term Care Ventilator Unit: Interventions to Increase Patient Safety and Prevent Patient Harm [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
BACKGROUND: Tracheostomy patients are susceptible to life-threatening emergencies when their airways are compromised. Epidemiologic data suggests that 3.2% to 30% of tracheostomy patents have a complication. The long-term care ventilator unit (LTCVU) is

Neonatal Respiration Monitoring System with Synchronized Oxygen Supply and Machine Learning‐Based Breathing Classification

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
The study presents a low‐cost, noninvasive system for real‐time neonatal respiratory monitoring. A flexible, screen‐printed sensor patch captures chest movements with high sensitivity and minimal drift. Combined with machine learning, the system accurately detects breathing patterns and offers a practical solution for neonatal care in low‐resource ...
