Randomized Controlled TrialEnvironmental or Nasal Cannula Supplemental Oxygen for Preterm Infants: A Randomized Cross-Over Trial.
To test the hypothesis that environmental compared with nasal cannula oxygen decreases episodes of intermittent hypoxemia (oxygen saturations <85% for ≥10 seconds) in preterm infants on supplemental oxygen by providing a more stable hypopharyngeal oxygen concentration. ⋯ In preterm infants receiving supplemental oxygen, servo-controlled oxygen environment decreases hypoxemia compared with nasal cannula.
