No published data available on reference interval for this variable in pediatric patients Should Oxygen be Given During Initial Resuscitation? While JP was tachypneic—likely secondary to hypovolemia—he was not dyspneic and his lung sounds were clear. therefore, supplemental oxygen was probably not necessary but could have been provided until normoxemia was confrmed. However, for a neonate (< 2 weeks of age), oxygen therapy would be recommended.
