    I am doing a study about transcutaneous O2/CO2 monitoring study in the U.S., trying to understand some clinical preferences and purchasing behavior of these monitors. If you are using these monitors and are interested in participating, please let me know. Thank you!

  6. I'm searching for new equipment and I would like to recognize which technical specifications (apart from pressure/volume) makes the differences -in normal ventilation- between neonatal, infant and pediatric ventilators.
