Continuous monitoring of oxygen saturation of infants. (A) Trace from an infant recently weaned off oxygen. Note that the average oxygen saturation in air is consistently > 95%. (B) Trace from an oxygen dependent infant with chronic lung disease (CLD). Note the numerous desaturations falling consistently below 90%. Although there was no clinical evidence, oesophageal pH monitoring showed appreciable gastro-oesophageal reflux. After treatment for reflux, the oxygen desaturations improved, but oxygen dependency continued for several more months because of CLD. The x axis shows time with 20 minute intervals.
