- Title
Neonatal Colorimetric Devices: Caution Against Extended Clinical Use.
- Authors
Mukhopadhyay, Sagori; Sivieri, Emidio
- Abstract
The authors discuss a study by M. K. Brown and colleagues, published within the issue on the air flow resistance of exhaled carbon dioxide devices. The resistance in the product inserts of the devices they investigated is depicted as back pressure generated by the device and is expressed in units of centimeter (cm) water for a particular flow. Being prudent is suggested to avoid prolonged clinical use of neonatal colorimetric devices without accounting for the high reported in vitro resistance.
