The Incubator Channel · 8 Dec 2025 · 9 min
Summary
Dr Louise Owen presents the AEROPLANE cluster-randomised trial comparing 21% versus 30% initial oxygen for moderate preterm infants (32-35 weeks) at birth, recorded at the Hot Topics 2025 conference. She discusses findings that 30% oxygen was associated with less delivery room intervention and what this suggests about oxygen needs in this understudied group.
