...Anne E. Richter; Arend F. Bos; E. Angela Huiskamp; Elisabeth M.W. Kooi Background: High arterial oxygen saturation (SaO 2 ) is associated with the development of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), but difficult to avoid. Objective: To assess the association between severe ROP and a burden...

...Deepak Jain; Carmen D'Ugard; Jose Bello; Eduardo Bancalari; Nelson Claure Background: Hypoxemia episodes (HE) occur frequently in ventilated preterm infants and hinder the achievement of arterial oxygen saturation (SpO 2 ) targets. These episodes may increase the risk for retinopathy of prematurity...

...-four mechanically ventilated preterm infants with ≥4 HE of arterial oxygen saturation (SpO 2 ) <75% over 8 h were enrolled. They were studied over 2 consecutive 24-hour periods of VG and PC, in random order. Results: While the frequency of HE (SpO 2 <85% for ≥20 s) did not differ, their duration...

...Ola Didrik Saugstad; Dagfinn Aune Background: The optimal arterial oxygen saturation in the first weeks of life is unknown for immature newborn infants. Objectives: To determine the effect of targeting high versus low oxygen saturation in the first weeks of life on the outcome of very low...

... stimulants W Arterial oxygen saturation Abstract Aim: To study the effect of doxapram on the frequency of apnoea, bradycardia and hypoxaemia. Methods: Fifteen infants, median gestational age at birth 27 weeks (range 24 30), age at study 27 days (12 60), with 66 episodes of bradycardia or hypoxaemia/6 h...
