Don’t know the official studies of why, but in my personal experience, my boy was having trouble breathing. They were giving him oxygen, but the meter thing was still REALLY low. They gave him to me, and went to get another machine, they thought the first one might not have been reading properly.

When they put it on, while he was with me, his oxygen was normal. So then they took him, because they still hadn’t done whatever they do when they check babies over at the incubator thing.

But as soon as he got over there, his oxygen dropped very low again. Now they were like, well both these oxygen things can’t be on the fritz!

They gave him back to me, and once again his breathing was normal. Now they just left him alone for a while. So, it did help in a very serious situation. Crazy.
