In preterm newborns who are dusky, the target oxygen saturation should generally be between 90% and 95%. Maintaining this level helps ensure adequate oxygen delivery to vital organs while minimizing the risk of oxygen toxicity and potential complications associated with hyperoxia. Continuous monitoring is essential to adjust oxygen therapy as needed based on the newborn's clinical condition.
