Objective:
To reduce exposure to hyperoxia and its associated morbidities in preterm neonates.

Study design:
A multidisciplinary group was established to evaluate oxygen exposure in our neonatal intensive care unit. Infants were assigned target saturation ranges and signal extraction technology implemented to temporally quantify achievement of these ranges. The outcomes bronchopulmonary dysplasia/death, retinopathy of prematurity (ROP)/de

Background
Several pioneering studies have provided evidence for the introduction of universal pulse oximetry screening for critical congenital heart disease. I lowever, whether the benefits of screening reported in studies from high-income countries would translate with similar success to low-income countries is unknown. We assessed the feasibility and reliability of pulse oximetry plus clinical assessment for detection of major congenital heart disease, especially crit

OBJECTIVES: Prior studies have shown inaccuracies in pulse oximetry readings at saturations less than 85%; however, no large studies have evaluated new sensors marketed for these low saturations. This study`s purpose was to evaluate two sensors with claims of improved accuracy in children with saturations less than 85%.

DESIGN: Prospective observational study.

SETTING: Single institution; cardiac catheterization laborato
