Oxygen is a vital element in the care of preterm infants and has been given more often than any other drug over the past 80 years. Despite this, we know very little about how much or how little oxygen is safe particularly at birth. Preterm birth, or birth before 37 weeks’ gestation, is occurring in 8% of pregnancies in Canada.
