Evidence for oxygen use in preterm infants.

چکیده
AIM To review the evidence for optimal oxygen use in preterm infants. RESULTS Clinicians have embraced lower saturation targets to minimize retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Large randomized trials now have shown that while such targets reduce ROP, neonatal mortality is increased significantly. CONCLUSIONS Preterm infants should be resuscitated with blended oxygen (30-90%) targeted to avoid hyperoxia. Later, saturation management remains uncertain. Until ongoing trials and follow-up are complete, it is prudent to avoid saturation of 85-89%.

Background: Venipuncture is one of the most painful and common interventions in Neonatal ward. A preterm infant can not cope long-lasting physiologic stresses; therefore, the pain caused by blood sampling may change the infant’s physiologic responses to the stress. This present study aim is to investigated and compare physiologic changes (pulse rate and oxygen saturation) in two sites of blood ...

Background: The methods of baby's position are an important critical factor in ventilation and oxygenation of tissues. Although the prone position as one of the recommended position has beneficial effect on the development of premature infants, little research has been done. Methods: In a clinical trial among mechanically ventilated infants, hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care units (N...
متن کاملOxygen Redux.
The groundbreaking work of Dr Ola Saugstad and colleagues 1, 2 led to a reappraisal and more judicious use of oxygen in term infants. Of course, this led to questioning the appropriate fraction of inspired oxygen (FIO2) to use in the initial resuscitation of preterm infants. Preterm infants are particularly vulnerable to free radical–associated conditions and oxidative stress; the use of high o...
