Management of oxygen saturation monitoring in preterm newborns in the NICU: the Italian picture.

Background: Although many studies emphasize the importance of using oxygen saturation (SpO) targets in the NICUs, there is a wide variability in used saturation ranges among centers. Primary aim was to draw a representative picture on how the management of oxygen monitoring is performed in the Italian NICUs. Second aim was to identify healthcare-professionals related factors associated with oxygen targeting in the preterm population.
