SpO₂ desaturations (<90%) in 204 infants who had vital signs assessment during LP. SpO2 desaturations are divided according to their severity. HFNC, high-flow nasal cannula; MV, mechanical ventilation; LFNC, low-flow nasal cannula; LP, lumbar puncture; nCPAP, nasal continuous positive airway pressure.^†Cases in which the standardized form indicates “desaturation” but without reporting the degree. Twenty of 204 (10%) of LPs were performed in infants on catecholamine support (dobutamine, dopamine or both). Among 20 LPs, 11 were performed in infants with body weight <1,500 g at the time of LP; 8 infants were on CPAP and 12 on mechanical ventilation. Desaturations occurred in 9 infants on catecholamine support.
