Likewise pulmonary function testing. Schibler and Frey describe the currently available techniques and the complexities of their interpretation. Measurements are getting easier and this offers new insights into neonatal ventilator care but there are many pitfalls and we await evidence that we can use them to improve outcomes. Kotecha and Allen nail their colours to the mast over supplemental oxygen treatment, recommending that infants with established chronic lung disease who are not at risk of further progression of retinopathy of prematurity should have their saturations maintained above 94%.
