When caught early enough, continuous, mechanical oxygen therapy can be used to reverse the infant's poor circulation and decreased blood oxygen, a symptom known as cyanosis. Improvement is gradual; however, cases show that after the first year of treatment using oxygen therapy and mechanical ventilators, infants show normal respiratory activity and are free from chest infiltrates with small cystic changes. Absence of fever (febrile), and normal white blood cell count correspond to successful reversion and allow for a positive prognosis. When not treated properly, methods of reversion using oxygen supplementation and ventilation have the possibility to put the infant at risk for rare complications. If not enough oxygen is administered to the infant, the apnea continues and the infant is unable proper recovery. In contrast, too much oxygen administered can lead to higher risk for retrolental fibroplasia and/or oxygen toxicity within the lungs. Continued dyspnea is a sign that<unk>  is still affecting the infant. Increased ventilation to allow proper respiration is then required. Patients in recovery are slowly taken off oxygen support and eventually are able to ventilate with minimal to no respiratory distress. There is a lack of research on the long-term effects of Wilson-Mikity into adulthood.
