Critical incident reporting in neonatal practice.

Patient safety incidents (PSIs) occur relatively frequently in healthcare. Incident-reporting systems are designed to systematically collect information relating to PSIs in order to identify and rectify problems in the delivery of clinical care. This review provides an overview of the incident reporting process and summarises local and national data of PSIs reported in a neonatal population.

Twelve-month prospective study of oxygen saturation measurements among term and preterm infants.

Background: Optimising home oxygen delivery in infants has important logistical and safety implications. This can be aided by having a suitable reference range of normal values for arterial oxygen saturation using pulse oximetry (SpO(2)).

Objectives: To describe oxygenation profiles in healthy preterm and term infants in relation to gestational and postnatal age, to extend reference values to guide home oxygen therapy.
