Resolving 60 years of uncertainty: oxygen saturation targets in preterm infants [ 2018 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Lisa Askie (Principal investigator)

Brief description New high quality evidence has recently shown that targeting the oxygen saturation of very preterm babies at a level used routinely for many years causes an increase in their risk of death. Targeting a higher range reduces this risk but practitioners have been slow to change their practice. A program will be introduced at several newborn intensive care units which will ensure that those caring for these sick babies will be supported to move safely to a policy of higher saturation targeting.
