Background: The optimal oxygen saturation for extremely low birth weight infants in the
postnatal period beyond the delivery room is not known. Objectives: To summarize and …

Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a disease that can cause blindness in very low
birthweight infants. The incidence of ROP is closely correlated with the weight and the …

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 …

Despite recent advances in the perinatal management of neonatal respiratory distress
syndrome (RDS), controversies still exist. We report the updated recommendations of a …

Aim: To identify whether pulse oximetry technology is associated with decreased retinopathy
of prematurity (ROP) and laser treatment. Methods: Inborn infants< 1250 g who had eye …

CONTEXT: Low oxygen saturation appears to decrease the risk of severe retinopathy of
prematurity (ROP) in preterm newborns when administered during the first few weeks after …

Oxygen is a neonatal health hazard that should be avoided in clinical practice. In this review,
an international team of neonatologists and nurses assessed oxygen saturation (S p O 2) …

Background Less invasive surfactant administration (LISA) to spontaneously breathing
preterm infants has been reported to reduce the duration of mechanical ventilation and the …

In 1942, when retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) first manifested as retrolental fibroplasia, the
technology to monitor or regulate oxygen did not exist, and a fundus examination of preterm …

OBJECTIVE: To estimate the effectiveness of nutritional interventions, oxygen saturation
targeting, blood transfusion management, and infection prevention on the incidence of …
