Abstract:

Preterm babies are highly susceptible to oxidative stress which can lead to organ damage. This presentation will review the current evidence for neonatal oxygen management, adjusting oxygen concentration and contraindications to over oxygenation. Also discussed will be endotracheal tube management, including techniques to properly secure and manage intubated patients to avoid accidental dislodgement of the endotracheal tube.
