Article Synopsis
- The study investigated nocturnal pulse oximetry patterns in moderate to late preterm infants, focusing on oxygen desaturations and their relationship with age.
- Median oxygen desaturation rates increased significantly in the first three weeks, while mean oxygen saturation levels dipped before rising again; these changes are influenced by postnatal age.
- The findings indicate a need for further research to establish normal oxygen index ranges in preterm infants, as many desaturations occurred without associated apnoea or hypopnoea events.
Objective: To define reference ranges for the 3% oxygen desaturation index (DI3) in healthy children under 12 years old during sleep.
Design: Observational.
Setting: Home.
