This support almost always incorporates respiratory support in the form of pressure and additional oxygen. Since late 2010 multiple resuscitation councils have advised oxygen saturation targets after birth. An observational study was conducted to observe to which extent the European Resuscitation Council oxygen saturation targets are reached at Erasmus Medical Centre – Sophia Children’s hospital. In the second phase a new user interface was develop, the ASOR, that incorporates all relevant clinical parameters and displays them with their trends on a single screen. Clinical testing of the monitor showed that it did improve the following of the saturation targets, and reduced saturation levels above the high limit used within the Sophia Children’s Hospital, by reducing over administration of additional oxygen.
