Does closed-loop automated oxygen control reduce the duration of supplementary oxygen treatment and the amount of time spent in hyperoxia? A randomised controlled trial in ventilated infants born at or near term.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Ventilated infants frequently require supplemental oxygen, but its use should be monitored carefully due to associated complications. The achievement of oxygen saturation (SpO₂) targets can be challenging as neonates experience frequent fluctuations of their oxygen levels that further increase the risk of complications. Closed-loop automated oxygen control systems (CLAC) improve achievement of oxygen saturation targets, reduce hyperoxaemic episodes and facilitate weaning of the inspired oxygen concentration in ventilated infants born at or near term. This study investigates whether CLAC compared with manual oxygen control reduces the time spent in hyperoxia and the overall duration of supplemental oxygen treatment in ventilated infants born at or above 34 week
