[blparent] Feds Fault Preemie Researchers For Ethical Lapses

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

I read somewhere that babies with less and less lung development are being 
saved, and sometimes it becomes necessary to knowingly crank up the oxygen 
to levels that are dangerous to eyesight in order to have a chance at 
preserving life.

kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at 
evening.--Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.

Is the increase due to underdeveloped lungs? The technology to control
oxygen and monitor oxygen levels has improved.

ROP has actually been on the rise again over the last few years because
babies are being saved now at smaller sizes and earlier gestational ages
than ever before.

I think it still happens because smaller and smaller premature babies are
able to be kept alive, but people have known about this for 50 or
60 years, so not quite sure what the study was about.
