I work in the midwest in a 25-30 bed NICU. We have 6 MDs and therefore 6 ideas on just about everything - including the 'proper' SaO2 parameters. The most often seen ordered is 90-95%.
Even tho this isn't terribly narrow we still have lots of audible alarms (in an already too noisy world) Our Nelcor monitors have a preset neonatal range of 80-95%.
