Assessment of foetal heart rate monitoring devices in referral hospitals in Tanzania: Towards improved quality of intrapartum care
Kamala, Benjamin Anathory (PhD thesis;482, Doctoral thesis, 2019-11)Background: There are 2.5 million neonatal deaths that occur globally each year: 25% of them secondary to labour complications (intrapartum related). In addition, 2.6 million stillbirths occur globally each year, 40% of ... -
Bridging the clinical experience gap: –using simulation to improve ventilation performance during neonatal resuscitation in a high-resource setting
Haynes, Joanna (PhD thesis UiS;, Doctoral thesis, 2023)Background: Up to 10% of newborn babies need help to establish regular breathing at birth. Those who do breathe, and who are not fortunate enough to receive prompt and effective help, will die. The burden of neonatal ... -
Fetal heart rate development during labour
Urdal, Jarle; Engan, Kjersti; Eftestøl, Trygve Christian; Haaland, Solveig H.; Kamala, Benjamin; Mdoe, Paschal Francis; Kidanto, Hussein; Ersdal, Hege (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021-03)Background Fresh stillbirths (FSB) and very early neonatal deaths (VEND) are important global challenges with 2.6 million deaths annually. The vast majority of these deaths occur in low- and low-middle income countries. ... -
Heart rate detection properties of dry-electrode ECG compared to conventional 3-lead gel-electrode ECG in newborns
Pike, Hanne; Eilevstjønn, Joar; Bjorland, Peder Aleksander; Linde, Jørgen Erland; Ersdal, Hege; Rettedal, Siren (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Objective To compare the accuracy of heart rate detection properties of a novel, wireless, dry-electrode electrocardiogram (ECG) device, NeoBeat®, to that of a conventional 3-lead gel-electrode ECG monitor (PropaqM®) in ... -
Optimizing Helping Babies Breathe implementation in a resource limited setting to improve perinatal outcome
Mduma, Estomih Raphael (PhD thesis UiS;, Doctoral thesis, 2021-09)Globally, deaths around the time of birth are unacceptably high of which there are about 2.7 million neonatal deaths and 2.6 million stillborn annually. Perinatal mortality accounts for deaths after 28 weeks of gestation ... -
Resuscitation of term and near-term newborns in low-resourced settings : Studies of positive end-expiratory pressure and expired CO2 during bag-mask ventilation at birth
Holte, Kari (PhD thesis UiS;, Doctoral thesis, 2021)Background: An estimated 0.7 million newborns die due to perinatal asphyxia each year, most are born at or near term. The major burden of preventable newborn deaths occur in low-resourced settings. A self-inflating bag is ... -
Signal Processing for Newborn Survival : from labour to resuscitation
Urdal, Jarle (PhD thesis UiS;, Doctoral thesis, 2020-08)Stillbirths are a worldwide challenge, with an estimated 2.6 million stillbirths in 2015, of these 1.3 million are estimated to have died during labour and birth, i.e. fresh stillbirth. In addition to the 2.6 million, one ... -
Simulation-based training and data-guided feedback for neonatal resuscitation in rural Tanzania
Vadla, May Sissel (PhD thesis UiS;, Doctoral thesis, 2023)Summary Background: Globally, 1.4 million newborns die every year due to intrapartum related events and fresh stillbirths, nearly all occurring in low and middle-income countries. Many of these deaths could be prevented ...
