INFANT WARMING SYSTEM HAVING ECG MONITOR AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING RESUSCITATION ASSISTANCE

Abstract:

An infant warming system comprising a platform for supporting an infant, at least two chest electrodes configured to connect to and detect cardiac potentials from a chest of the infant, an ECG monitor configured to receive the cardiac potentials from the at least two chest electrodes and determine a heart rate based on the cardiac potentials, a pulse oximeter device configured to determine an SpO.sub.2 for the infant, and a processor configured to compare the heart rate for the infant to a first heart rate threshold and compare the SpO.sub.2 for the infant to a first SpO.sub.2 threshold. The processor can also adjust a display of the heart rate and the SpO.sub.2 on a display device based on the comparisons and generate a first care instruction via a user interface based on the heart rate, the SpO.sub.2, or a combination thereof.
