ABSTRACT
Objective:
To avoid excessive oxygen exposure and achieve target oxygen saturation(SpO2) within intended range of 88%-95% among preterm neonates on oxygen therapy.Methods:
20 preterm neonates receiving supplemental oxygen in the first week of lifewere enrolled. The percentage of time per epoch (a consecutive time interval of 10 hours/day) spent by them within the target SpO2 range was measured in phase 1 followed byimplementation of a unit policy on oxygen administration and targeting in phase 2. In phase 3,oxygen saturation histograms constructed from pulse-oximeter data were used as dailyfeedback to nurses and compliance with oxygen-targeting was measured again.Results:
48 epochs in phase 1 and 69 in phase 3 were analyzed. The mean (SD) percent time spentwithin target SpO2 range increased from 65.9% (21.4) to 76.5% (12.6) (P=0.001).Conclusion:
Effectiveimplementation of oxygen targeting policy and feedback usingoxygen saturation histograms may improve compliance with oxygen targeting.
