Overview

Retrospective chart review identifies oxygen therapy factors influencing neonatal outcomes at high altitude, suggesting future improvements.

Key Points

  • The aim was to identify factors linked to adverse events post-discharge and characterize home oxygen therapy use in neonates at high altitude.
  • Retrospective chart review of infants discharged with home oxygen therapy from UNMH NICU (1 July 2018 - 1 July 2023)
  • Assessment of room air trial oxygen saturation and birth weight as predictors of adverse events
  • Development of institutional discharge protocols based on findings.
  • Lower room air trial oxygen saturation and lower birth weight were significantly associated with adverse events post-discharge.
  • Implementation of discharge protocols did not result in a statistically significant reduction in adverse events.
  • Findings will support future multicenter collaborations for refining discharge practices.
