Official Title: Automated Oxygen Control in Preterm Babies on Respiratory Support: A Randomized Cross Over Study

Brief Summary: Babies admitted in the NICU (neonatal intensive care unit) frequently need supplemental oxygen to keep their oxygen saturation (SpO2) in target range (TR).Hypoxia and hyperoxia episodes should be avoided while working toward this goal.Preterm babies are particularly vulnerable to abnormal oxygen levels, and adverse effects of hyperoxia and oxygen toxicity may result in retinopathy of prematurity and bronchopulmonary dysplasia.Similarly, mortality may rise due to hypoxic events.In routine practice, the SpO2 target…
