The immediate transition from foetus to neonate includes substantial changes, especially concerning the cardiovascular system. Furthermore, the brain is one of the most vulnerable organs to hypoxia during this period. According to current guidelines for postnatal stabilization, the recommended parameters for monitoring are heart rate (HR) and arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2). Recently, there is a growing interest in advanced monitoring of the cardio-circulatory system and the brain to get further objective information about the neonate’s condition during the immediate postnatal transition after birth. The aim of the present study was to combine cardiac output (CO) and brain oxygenation monitoring in term neonates after caesarean section in order to analyse the potential influence of CO on cerebral oxygenation during neonatal transition. This was a monocentric, prospective, observational study. For non-invasive cardiac output measurements, the electrical velocimetry (EV) method (Aesculon Monitor, Osypka Medical, CA, USA) was used. The pulse oximeter probe for SpO2 and HR measurements was placed on the right hand or wrist. The cerebral tissue oxygen index (cTOI) was measured using a NIRO-200NX monitor with the near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) transducer on the right frontoparietal head. Monitoring started at minute 1 and was continued until minute 15 after birth. At minutes 5, 10, and 15 after birth, mean CO was calculated from six 10 s periods (with beat-to-beat analysis). During the study period, 99 term neonates were enrolled. Data from neonates with uncomplicated transitions were analysed. CO showed a tendency to decrease until minute 10. During the complete observational period, there was no significant correlation between CO and cTOI. The present study was the first to investigate a possible correlation between CO and cerebral oxygenation in term infants during the immediate neonatal transition. In term infants with uncomplicated neonatal transition after caesarean section, CO did not correlate with cerebral oxygenation.

Two equally important issues need to be addressed during the early stages of the design of an implantable total artificial heart (TAH): proper anatomical fit and cardiac output capacity. As part of a first-time feasibility study to develop a neonate-size TAH, two studies were conducted to establish useful anatomical and physiological standards. The first (Study A) was conducted to determine the maximum dimensions of a neonate-size TAH. Twelve preserved hearts from full-term neonates with the hypoplastic left heart syndrome were examined. A second study (Study B) was designed to determine the acceptable minimum stroke volume compatible with minimum neonate cardiac output requirements. This study was based on a combination of: a) reported cardiac output studies in healthy term neonates, and term neonates with heart failure, b) body weight range, and c) limiting factors of TAH technology, e.g., valvular regurgitation and leveling off of the maximum cardiac output value at a specific heart rate and filling pressure. The proposed neonatal standards for TAH technology are presented.

Abstract Background: Acid base and blood gas measurements provide essential information, especially in critically ill neonates. After birth, rapidly changing physiology and difficulty to obtain blood samples represent unique challenges.Objectives: The aim of the present study was to establish normal values of capillary acid base and blood gas analysis immediately after birth in term neonates after uncomplicated neonatal transition.Method: This is a post-hoc- analysis of ancillary outcome parameter of a prospective observational study in term neonates immediately after caesarean section. Neonates were included after immediate neonatal transition without need of medical support and a capillary blood sample was taken by a heel-stick within 15-20 minutes after birth.Result: 132 term neonates were included with mean (SD) gestational age of 38.7±0.7 weeks. The blood was drawn mean (SD) 16±1.7 minutes after birth. The mean (SD) values of the analyses were: pH 7.30±0.04, pCO2 52.6±6.4, base excess -0.9±1.7 and bicarbonate 24.8±1.6.Conclusion: This is the first study describing acid base and blood gas analyses in term neonates immediately after birth with uncomplicated neonatal transition.
