A study led by Dr. Waldemar A. Carlo of UAB has shown that higher oxygen saturation in the blood of premature infants increases the chances of blindness. "This is a seminal trial and a breakthrough in ...

Higher oxygen saturation targets are linked with greater progression in some cases of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), but the incidence remains stable. Increased oxygen saturation targets in ...

A pilot study showed that providing 100% oxygen during deferred cord clamping for extremely preterm infants reduced risk of hypoxemia 5 minutes after birth compared with 30% oxygen. The high-oxygen ...

Challenging existing recommendations, delivery room resuscitation with high initial levels of oxygen for very preterm infants may reduce their odds of death, a systematic review and individual ...

This study is designed to answer one of the fundamental gaps in knowledge in the resuscitation of preterm infants at birth: What is the optimal target oxygen saturation (SpO2) range that increases ...

The National Institutes of Health have awarded $1.1 million to a Worcester Polytechnic Institute-led research project aimed at reducing racial bias in care for premature infants. The project intends ...
