Funded Activity Summary

In recent years experts have suggested that even a brief exposure to high oxygen concentrations during delivery room (DR) resuscitation is harmful. This has led to a change in our national DR resuscitation guidelines which now advise that 21% oxygen should be considered rather than 100% oxygen for infants of all gestational ages. I aim to develop evidence based guidelines for the use of pulse oximetry in the DR and early post natal period.
