#263 - 🟢 [HOT TOPICS 2024] - Balancing Oxygen Use in the Delivery Room
In this episode, Ben and Daphna are joined by Dr. Vishal Kapadia, neonatologist at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, to discuss oxygen use in the delivery room and the “Goldilocks principle” of finding the right balance—not too much, not too little. Dr. Kapadia shares insights from his research on oxygen targets, the challenges of defining evidence-based practices, and the role of personalized care for preterm and term infants. With emerging studies and ongoing trials, this conversation sheds light on how precision in oxygen delivery can impact neonatal outcomes.
