Podcast summary created with Snipd AI

Quick takeaways

  • Preterm infants with more severe neonatal courses are more likely to develop hypoxemia during high altitude simulation testing (HAST).
  • Infants who were not on respiratory support at 36 weeks had a higher likelihood of passing HAST.

Preterm infants at risk of hypoxemia during air travel

Commercial air travel at high altitudes poses a risk of hypoxemia for preterm infants, especially those with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). These infants may fail hypoxemia challenge testing (HAST), making it difficult to determine if it is safe for them to fly. Previous studies have shown that preterm infants with BPD are likely to fail HAST. The study aims to determine the likelihood of developing hypoxemia during HAST over time and to identify neonatal risk factors associated with hypoxemia.
