Monitoring and adjusting FiO2 in pediatric patients requires a multidisciplinary approach involving pediatricians, respiratory therapists, and nurses. Key tools and methods include:
Pulse Oximetry: Non-invasive method to monitor oxygen saturation (SpO2) and guide FiO2 adjustments. Blood Gas Analysis: Provides detailed information on oxygenation, ventilation, and acid-base status. Clinical Assessment: Regular evaluation of the patient's respiratory status, including work of breathing and overall clinical condition.
