Brief description Either too much or too little oxygen (O2) causes prolonged harm and death, even if this imbalance is for a few minutes, as at birth. Nowhere is this balance more critical than in the care of the extremely preterm infant (below 28 weeks gestation) with lung immaturity (requiring O2) and antioxidant deficiency. The Torpido 2 study will randomize 1350 infants below 28 weeks gestation to determine long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes and survival after resuscitation with either 21% O2 (room air) or
