    Effectiveness of low oxygen levels in preventing retinopathy in premature infants
    (Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2018-07-07) Gómez Arévalo, Chris Mónica; Bonilla Asalde, César Antonio
    In the review described, we can detail that 10 journals were taken to describe the goal of the development of this work, where 7 of these journals concluded that the use of low level of oxygen (85-94%) in the premature neonate was very beneficial for the prevention of ROP, suggesting that it be increased progressively and according to the age of the newborn; 2 of the 10 studies report that no benefit was found and rather a higher rate of morbidities associated with high mortality was found. Finally, only one study indicates that it did not find any difference between the use of low or high o2 to be associated with ROP. Therefore, it could be stated, despite the lack of evidence in our reality, that using O2 at a low level and increasing it gradually according to the weight gain of the premature neonate; and adapt it to our protocols for the management of premature infants by specialized nursing in the NICU at the local level, being certain that this management is very beneficial to considerably reduce the visual morbidity that is ROP in premature infants.
