Cochrane Database Syst Rev
December 2024
Article Synopsis
- The primary objective is to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of using air versus supplemental oxygen for resuscitating term or late preterm infants at birth, focusing on their impact on mortality rates and long-term neurodevelopmental impairment.
- The secondary objective is to explore how the effects of air versus supplemental oxygen may vary based on factors like oxygen concentration, gestational age, oxygen saturation titration, and the economic status of the study country.
- This protocol outlines a systematic review aimed at providing clear evidence to guide neonatal resuscitation practices.
