selvanr4 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Hello, How do you avoid neonatal heat burns when oxymeter probe is continously monitoring ? Do you use any gauze pieces( like we use)? Does it depend on the quality of the probe? Your inputs are welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JoannieO Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 We also change the probe every 4 hours - the more immature the infant, the more likely that there will be a burn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
