Oxygen Targets in Neonatal Pulmonary Hypertension – Individualized, “Precision-Medicine” Approach (2023) Satyan Lakshminrusimha

Description

This text analyzes the optimal and individualized oxygen saturation targets (SpO2 90%-97%, PaO2 50-80 mm Hg) for infants with pulmonary hypertension. It emphasizes that alveolar oxygen tension is the primary determinant of pulmonary vascular resistance and discusses the risks associated with both hypoxemia and hyperoxemia in this patient population.
