Randomized Controlled Trial
Automated control of inspired oxygen in ventilated preterm infants: crossover physiological study.
To evaluate the efficacy of automated control of the fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2 ) in comparison with manual FiO2 control in maintaining target pulse oxygen saturation (SpO2 ) range. ⋯ Automated control of FiO2 significantly improved compliance of oxygen saturation targeting and significantly reduced exposure to hypoxaemia as well as hyperoxaemia.
