... literature indicates that either of these are associated with similar outcomes. Summary: Nonetheless, FM remains the most utilized and the best choice. However, most available FM sizes are too large for extremely preterm infants, which leads to mask leak and ineffective PPV. Challenges to providing effective...

... frequently to term infants or preterm infants. We hypothesized that in a registry-based birth cohort in 105 geographic areas in seven low- and middle-income countries, more term newborns received respiratory support than preterm newborns. Methods: This is a hypothesis-driven observational study based...

... ROSC in a porcine model of neonatal resuscitation. This is of considerable clinical relevance because improved respiratory and hemodynamic parameters potentially minimize morbidity and mortality in newborn infants. [email protected] 6 11 2016 6 06 2017 3 8 2017 © 2017...

... valuable. Objectives: To develop quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) primer/probe sets that can rapidly detect antibiotic resistance genes common to a neonatal unit, and to investigate the feasibility of direct detection of antibiotic resistance genes in whole blood of infants with Gram-negative...

..., controversy exists around the safety and effectiveness of adrenaline in newborn resuscitation. The aim of this review was to summarise a selection of the current knowledge about adrenaline during resuscitation and evaluate its relevance to newborn infants. Methods: A search in PubMed, Embase, and Google...

... after the procedure. The hemoglobin of the infant decreased from 8.7 to 3.1 g/dl within 48 h, with concomitant severe hyperbilirubinemia (472 μmol/l) requiring exchange transfusion. Frontline neonatologists should be aware of this rare but potentially life-threatening adverse reaction. In addition...

...Anna Lin; Terence Ping Yuen Ma; Frankie Wai Tsoi Cheng; Pak Cheung Ng Neonatal haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare but potentially lethal condition. We recently encountered a preterm infant who developed severe HLH associated with maternal adult-onset Still's disease, which to our...

Schmölzer Background: Heart rate assessment immediately after birth in newborn infants is critical to the correct guidance of resuscitation efforts. There are disagreements...

..., the most effective ratio of delivering chest compressions (CC) remains controversial. We report a case of a male infant at 24 weeks' postmenstrual age weighing 650 g on a background of preterm labor. At initial assessment the infant appeared floppy and apneic with a heart rate (HR) of 50-60 beats/min. Mask...

Methods: 23 mechanically ventilated infants received up to 96 h either a remifentanil- or fentanyl-based analgesia and sedation regimen with low-dose...

Objective: To evaluate faecal calprotectin values in healthy, exclusively breast-fed (BF) or formula-fed (FF) infants. Methods: Stool samples were obtained from 74 healthy infants (39...

...A. Kahn; J. Groswasser; M. Sottiaux; E. Rebuffat; P. Franco During sleep, infants with obstructive sleep apneas are characterised by snoring, laborious breathing, and profuse sweating. During wakefulness, they may have breath-holding spells, and during feeding, difficult breathing and swallowing...
