Neonatal respiratory distress syndrome: are risk factors the same in preterm and term infants?
Abstract Objective: To analyze respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) incidence and risk factors at different gestational age. Methods: We considered data from 321 327 infants born in Lombardy, a Northern Italian Region. We computed multivariate analysis to identify risk factors for … Continue reading
Evaluating the influence of ventilation and ventilation-compression synchronization on chest compression force and depth during simulated neonatal resuscitation
Abstract Objectives: To investigate the influence of ventilation and ventilation-compression synchronization on compression force and sternal displacement during simulated neonatal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (NCPR) on an infant manikin. Methods: Five Neonatal Resuscitation Program trained clinicians were recruited to perform simulated NCPR … Continue reading
Early, rapidly progressive enteral nutrition promotes growth of very low birth weight (VLBW) infants
Abstract Aim: This study describes the effects of a quality improvement program to promote improved postnatal nutrition on the growth of very low birth weight (VLBW) infants. Methods: Daily data regarding nutrition and growth were collected from the medical record … Continue reading
Changes in lactate dehydrogenase are associated with central gray matter lesions in newborns with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy
Abstract Purpose: Biomarkers may predict neurological prognosis in infants with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). We evaluated the relationship between serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which predicts neurodevelopmental outcomes, in order to assess whether LDH levels are … Continue reading
Serum lactate levels and perfusion index: are these prognostic factors on mortality and morbidity in very low-birth weight infants?
Abstract Aim: Early hemodynamic assessment of global parameters in critically ill newborns fails and requires mostly invasive measurements in neonatal intensive care unit. Clinical signs are frequently used for assessment of peripheral perfusion. Perfusion index (PI) is a new noninvasive … Continue reading
