What are the Guidelines for FiO2 Management in Pediatrics?
Several guidelines and best practices exist to ensure safe and effective FiO2 management in pediatric patients:
Target SpO2 Ranges: For most pediatric patients, maintaining SpO2 between 92% and 97% is recommended. In preterm infants, target ranges might be slightly lower (88%-95%) to minimize ROP risk. Weaning Protocols: Gradual reduction of FiO2 as the patientâs condition improves to avoid sudden hypoxemia. Regular Reassessment: Continuous monitoring and frequent reassessment to adjust FiO2 based on the patient's evolving needs.
