preterm infants are monitored in a neonatal intensive care unit where they are put in incubators which cater for their need.the modern incubators cater for,oxygen,intravenous infusion treatment and warmth.They have special gadgets that help in maintaining the conditions as required. In developing countries where there are no electricity,the preterm are put in kangaroo care(skin to skin contact)with the mother and encouraged to breastfeed to minimize infection through improving the infants immunity system.
diagnosis would have to be for any person or persons grieving. maybe dysfunctional grieving/ or/ anxiety related to recent family death
NANDA International (North American Nursing Diagnosis Association) defines nursing diagnoses related to tachycardia, which is an abnormally fast heart rate. One common NANDA diagnosis for tachycardia is "Ineffective Tissue Perfusion," which may arise due to decreased oxygen delivery to tissues. Nurses use this diagnosis to guide interventions aimed at improving circulation and managing the underlying causes of the tachycardia, such as anxiety, fever, or underlying cardiovascular issues.
In preterm newborns who are dusky, the target oxygen saturation should generally be between 90% and 95%. Maintaining this level helps ensure adequate oxygen delivery to vital organs while minimizing the risk of oxygen toxicity and potential complications associated with hyperoxia. Continuous monitoring is essential to adjust oxygen therapy as needed based on the newborn's clinical condition.
For resuscitation use 100 % - the kids hypoxic or you wouldn't be doing a resuscitation.
Respironics is the name of a company that sells devices that aid in the diagnosis and treatment of sleep apnea. These devices include CPAP and BiPAP machines, oxygen concentrators and monitors for infants with a risk of SIDS.
A nursing diagnosis for pneumothorax could be "ineffective breathing pattern related to lung collapse resulting in impaired gas exchange." This diagnosis focuses on the patient's altered breathing pattern due to decreased lung capacity, which can lead to decreased oxygenation and potential respiratory distress. Nurses may implement interventions such as monitoring respiratory status, administering oxygen therapy, and providing education on deep breathing techniques to address this issue.

Infants with serious apnea may need medications to stimulate breathing or oxygen through a tube inserted in the nose. Some infants may be placed on a ventilator.
Special care must be given when administering oxygen to premature infants because of the danger of high oxygen levels causing retinopathy of prematurity, or contributing to the construction of ductus arteriosis.
The normal oxygen saturation (SpO2) for a neonate typically ranges from 90% to 100%. In the first few days after birth, it may start lower but should generally rise to this range. Continuous monitoring is important, especially in preterm infants or those with respiratory issues. If SpO2 levels fall below 90%, it may indicate a need for further evaluation.
