Higher oxygen levels improve preterm survival, increase risk for eye condition, studies find
Two findings provide new information on how much oxygen very preterm infants should receive starting at birth and the most effective means to deliver it to them. One finding is that higher oxygen levels improve survival but increase the risk for a serious eye condition. The other is that a treatment typically used for adults with sleep apnea is as effective for preemies as a ventilator, but with fewer complications.
