Abstract
Background To reduce the risks of hypoxia and hyperoxia in preterm infants in the delivery room; national and international guidelines recommend titrating supplemental oxygen delivery to achieve specific oxygen saturation (SpO 2) targets. Our aim was to measure the proportion of time infants <32â €..weeks' gestation spent within and outside prescribed SpO 2 targets during the first 10â €..min after birth. Method Prospective observational study using data from a preductal SpO 2 sensor and oxygen analyser measuring fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO 2) in the inspiratory limb of the respiratory circuit. Measurements of SpO 2, heart rate and FiO 2 were recorded every 2â €..s. We assessed complian..
