Abstract
Recordings were analysed for average baseline SpO SB 2 sb , FiO SB 2 sb , CPAP level and heart rate as well as for episodes of desaturation (a fall in SpO SB 2 sb to <80% of any duration) and bradycardia (a fall in pulse rate to <80 beats/min for >=1 beat) and the proportion of time spent in these conditions. 3 Abbreviations: CPAP, continuous positive airway pressure; FiO SB 2 sb , fraction of inspired oxygen; SpO SB 2 sb , arterial oxygen saturation measured by pulse oximetry. Also, we only report data on peripheral, not cerebral tissue oxygenation; the latter was studied by others.3 In conclusion, these immature and comparatively young infants receiving nasal respiratory support showed no relevant difference in oxygenation or IH/bradycardia rates while studied in the prone compared with the supine position.
