Desats
What does it mean if they say my baby is having “desats” or “desatting”?. Desats is is a term used to mean that saturations (oxygen levels) are dropping. Oxygen is getting lower. Desat is short for desaturate. Often babies in NICU have their saturation levels (sats) monitored – the machine (called a saturation monitor) will beep if they drop below a certain level. Sometimes the oxygen levels come back up on their own, sometimes they need a little help.
