Coloured Petri Nets-based Approach for Modelling Effects of Variation on the Reliability of the Newborn Life Support Procedure (2025)
Journal Article
Tan, A., Remenyte-Prescott, R., Egede, J., Sharkey, D., & Valstar, M. (in press). Coloured Petri Nets-based Approach for Modelling Effects of Variation on the Reliability of the Newborn Life Support Procedure. Reliability Engineering & System Safety,

About 10% of newborns need a life support procedure following birth. However, this procedure has a considerable error rate of more than 25%, which may compromise its safety and reliability. Continuous studies to improve its performance are carried ou...
