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.
The hormones listed in the screening survey list 2 of the Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule 3 (estrone, 17-β-estradiol, 17-α-ethynylestradiol, 16-α-hydroxyestradiol (estriol), equilin, testosterone and 4-androstene-3,17-dione) were analyzed by liquid chromatography electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS). Two analytical methods were compared: EPA method 539 and the isotope dilution method. EPA method 539 was successfully utilized in river and drinking water matrices with fortified recoveries of 98.
