• Delivery Room ST Segment Analysis to Predict Short Term Outcomes in Near-Term and Term Newborns 

      Linde, Jørgen Erland; Solevåg, Anne Lee; Eilevstjønn, Joar; Blacy, Ladislaus; Kidanto, Hussein; Ersdal, Hege Langli; Klingenberg, Claus Andreas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-01)
      Background: ST-segment changes to the fetal electrocardiogram (ECG) may indicate fetal acidosis. No large-scale characterization of ECG morphology immediately after birth has been performed, but ECG is used for heart rate ...
    • Fetal to Neonatal Heart Rate Transition during Normal Vaginal Deliveries: A Prospective Observational Study 

      Munyaw, Yuda; Urdal, Jarle; Ersdal, Hege Langli; Ngarina, Matilda; Moshiro, Robert Deogratias; Blacy, Ladislaus; Linde, Jørgen Erland (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Documentation of fetal to neonatal heart rate (HR) transition is limited. The aim of the current study was to describe HR changes from one hour before to one hour after normal vaginal deliveries. We conducted a prospective ...
    • 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 ...
    • Neurodevelopmental Outcome at 6 Months Following Neonatal Resuscitation in Rural Tanzania 

      Torvik, Ingrid Ask; Moshiro, Robert Deogratias; Ersdal, Hege Langli; Yeconia, Anita; Mduma, Raphael; Perlman, Jeffrey; Linde, Jørgen Erland (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Early bag-mask ventilation (BMV) administered to non-breathing neonates at birth in the presence of birth asphyxia (interruption of placental blood flow) has reduced neonatal mortality by up to 50% in low- and middle-income ...
    • Predictors for expired CO2 in neonatal bag-mask ventilation at birth: observational study 

      Holte, Kari; Ersdal, Hege Langli; Eilevstjønn, Joar; Thallinger, Monica; Linde, Jørgen Erland; Klingenberg, Claus; Holst, René; Hussein, Kidanto; Størdal, Ketil; Jatosh, Samwel (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-09)
      Background Expired carbon dioxide (ECO2) indicates degree of lung aeration immediately after birth. Favourable ventilation techniques may be associated with higher ECO2 and a faster increase. Clinical condition will however ...
