Conclusion. In this group of infants, cFIO[sub 2] was at least as effective as a fully dedicated nurse in maintaining Spo[sub 2] within the target range, and it may be more effective than a nurse working under routine conditions. We speculate that during long-term use, cFIO[sub 2] may save nursing time and reduce the risks of morbidity associated with supplemental oxygen and episodes of hypo- and hyperoxemia. hypoxemic episodes, preterm infant, mechanical ventilation, FIO[sub 2], automatic FIO[sub 2] adjustment, closed-loop FIO[sub 2] control.
