Epidemiology of hypoxaemia in neonates Hypoxaemia is a major complication of neonatal illnesses, because of the frequency of primary respiratory disease (hyaline membrane disease, pneumonia, transient tachypnoea of the newborn) and because apnoea is a common and non-specific response to many common neonatal conditions. (...) In many cases studies were limited to children with severe acute respiratory tract infection, however, oxygen may also be required in the management of children with severe or prolonged convulsions, shock of any cause (including severe sepsis and trauma) and severe anaemia complicated by respiratory distress. • As for young infants, it was suggested that at low altitudes hypoxaemia be considered present if SpO2 was < 90%.
