oxygen concentration

What are the risks of hyperoxia in neonates?


While oxygen therapy is often necessary, excessive oxygen can lead to hyperoxia, which is associated with conditions like retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). These conditions can result in long-term visual and respiratory issues. Therefore, careful monitoring and regulation of oxygen levels are critical.
