Pulse oximetry is a quick, easy, noninvasive method widely used for monitoring oxygen saturation (SaO2) in the neonatal period. The greatest recognized problem with SaO2 readings measured from the oximeter is artifact, arising from an inability to record accurately during movement. The aim of this study was to determine the proportion of pulse oximeter readings affected by movement artifact during sleep in term and preterm infants.
