[Use of transthoracic impedance in the monitoring of ventilation in neonatal resuscitation].
Continuous transthoracic impedance recording is a useful procedure for pulmonary ventilation control in term and preterm infants. The innocuity, ease and reliability of this method makes its use possible in neonatal intensive care. Its convenience is obvious in some physiological and pathological circumstances especially during apnea. The conditions of application, the physiological origins of impedance variations and the present limits of utilization are discussed.
