How can I target the saturation levels within such a narrow range?
• Titrate the FiO2 level as seldom as possible • If baby’s SpO2 drifts out of the targeted range give it a few moments to see if it will correct itself • Only change the FiO2 level by 5% at a time, then leave for a few moments to see what the trend is • If you are adjusting the oxygen level often or have changed the by FiO2 more than 15% consider that the baby‘s condition has changed and report it to the senior nurse or doctor
