Objective To date the optimal initial amount of oxygen (FiO2) for resuscitation of preterm infants is still being discussed. Evidence of reduced mortality in term and near-term infants led to a dramatic reduction in the use of oxygen in newborn infants in the delivery room. In preterm infants the consequence of variable oxygen strategies on short- and long-term outcomes are unclear. Supplemental oxygen may be necessary during resuscitation of preterm newborns especially of low gestational age. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of oxygen on postnatal stabilization of preterm i...
