Показать описание
When you are in the NICU, you will hear that your baby is on an "X" amount of FiO2. What is your baby's FiO2, and what does it actually mean? Is a higher number worse or better? I'm Dr. Fort, The NICU Doc, and I will explain briefly about fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) for parents.
The "What is..." series will go over the most common terms and diseases found in the NICU. If you want to know a term, just search on YouTube as "the nicu doc" and the term.
If you don't find that term on my channel, then let me know in the comments of any other "What is..." video and I'll be happy to explain it there or if other folks are asking, I will create a video.
Thanks again for watching!
