Target Ranges of Oxygen Saturation in Extremely Preterm Infants
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have suggested that the incidence of retinopathy is lower in preterm infants with exposure to reduced levels of oxygenation than in those exposed to higher levels of oxygenation. However, it is unclear what range of oxygen saturation is appropriate to minimize retinopathy without increasing adverse outcomes.
METHODS: We performed a randomized trial with a 2-by-2 factorial design to compare target ranges of oxygen …
