Introduction to Neonatal Event Review

The Neonatal Event Review application enables the patient monitors to automatically detect, store, display and document up to 48* neonatal events over a period of 24 hours. The neonatal events detected by the monitors are:

•Apnea,

•Bradycardia,

•Desaturations and/or a combination of the three.

In addition, events (e.g. breathing patterns) can be stored manually.

The above neonatal events represent the most frequently encountered cardiorespiratory problems in newborn babies. The documentation of these events enables the clinician to diagnose and manage the patient's condition more accurately and effectively and determine an appropriate course of treatment

*V24 and V26 Patient Monitors can only store up to 24 events.
