Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The purpose of this study is to determine if, in preterm infants \< 37 weeks' gestation at birth receiving oxygen without ventilatory/CPAP support, oxygen environment (OE) compared with nasal cannula oxygen (NC), will decrease the number of episodes with oxygen saturations less than 85% of ≥10 seconds in a 48 hour cross over period on either intervention. This is a randomized cross-over pilot study with a 1:1 parallel allocation of infants to oxygen environment or nasal cannula oxygen using stratified permuted block design. Following a 24 hour period on the first intervention, infants will cross over to a 24 hour period on the second (alternative) intervention before crossing back to the first intervention for a further 24 hours and then back again to the second (alternative) intervention for a further 24 hours.
