OBJECTIVE. The objective of this study was to document pulse oximeter saturation levels
achieved in the first 4 weeks of life in infants who were born at< 28 weeks' gestation,
compared with the levels that were targeted by local policy, and examine factors that are
associated with compliance with the target range. METHODS. Infants who were< 28 weeks'
