Previous emphasis has been directed toward investigating the effects of oxygen therapy during incubation of the premature neonate. Medical findings have described in great detail the serious visual impairment which occurs as a direct result of an overexposure of the infant to oxygen during incubation.1-3 More recent studies have examined such interesting factors as neurological sequelae,4 psychosocial adjustment,5 and physical development6 in this select pediatric population.
