A new mode of surfactant administration without intubation - less invasive (LISA) has recently been described for premature infants.We report single-center outcome data extremely infants who have managed by LISA in our department. Mortality and morbidity rates the cohort were compared to historical controls from own center Vermont-Oxford Neonatal Network (VONN).All born at 23-27 weeks' gestational age during 01/2009 06/2011 (n = 224) included study group.LISA was tolerated 94% all infants....
Since an objective description is essential to determine infant's postnatal condition and efficacy of interventions, two scores were suggested in the past but weren't tested yet: The Specified-Apgar uses 5 items conventional Apgar score; however describes regardless gestational age (GA) or resuscitative interventions. Expanded-Apgar measures interventions needed achieve this condition. We hypothesized that combination both (Combined-Apgar) preterm infants better than either alone. Scores...
To compare the duration to establish an umbilical venous catheter and intraosseous access in real hospital delivery rooms as a secondary aim assess delaying factors during establishment provide recommendations accelerate vascular neonatal resuscitation.Retrospective analysis of audio-video recorded simulation training.Simulation training events exact replications actual delivery/resuscitation 16 hospitals with different levels care (Austria Germany). Equipment was prepared same way for...
Current international resuscitation guidelines recommend simulation for the training of neonatal and infant resuscitation. We aimed at assessing compliance rates with these recommendations in Austria. performed a national questionnaire survey among 31 institutions 25 questionnaires (80.6%) were analyzed. 22/25 (88%) used as an instructional modality. 8 (32%) had access to medical centers, 6/8 being training. Simulation equipment was available 17/25 (68%), median 1 part-task trainer (0–2), 2...
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) allows the visualization of brain function and processing versatile inputs human brain. Recently, this method has been shown to provide insights into spatiotemporal distribution networks that can be demonstrated active in even absence a task when is 'at rest'. These so-called resting-state (RSNs), characterized by spontaneous intrinsic fluctuations between 0.01 0.1 Hz, have repeatedly reproducibly found organized specific functional across...
Approximately 20% of newborns infants need respiratory support at birth. This study evaluated whether video-based education could improve quality positive pressure ventilation (PPV) performed by inexperienced staff during neonatal resuscitation.Fourth-year medical students were randomly paired and instructed to give PPV a modified manikin as single-person resuscitators two-person-paired using either an air cushion rim mask or round before after watching self-instructional video. Airway...
Abstract The purpose of this prospective ultrasound-based pilot study was to identify the most suitable tibial puncture site for intraosseous (IO) access in term and preterm neonates, describe dimensions at site, provide anatomical landmarks rapid localization. We measured distances sites A (proximal: 10 mm distal tuberosity; distal: proximal malleolus medialis) B (chosen by palpation pediatrician), 40 newborns four weight groups (< 1000 g; 1000–2000 g, 2000–3000 3000–4000 g). Sites were...
Zusammenfassung Die entscheidende und zumeist einzig notwendige Maßnahme für die erfolgreiche Reanimation eines Neugeborenen nach der Geburt ist effektive Ventilation Lunge [1]. Bereits eine kurze Maskenbeatmung führt, bei einem zunächst nicht oder suffizient spontan atmenden Neugeborenen, in den meisten Fällen zum Einsetzen einer effektiven Eigenatmung damit zu raschen klinischen Stabilisierung. In gelingt problemlos, allerdings bereitet sie immer wieder auch Schwierigkeiten. Kursen, sich...
Zusammenfassung Die volle Reanimation eines Neugeborenen mit Beatmungen, Thoraxkompressionen und der Gabe von Medikamenten ist ein äußerst seltenes Ereignis, das selbst neonatologische Teams immer wieder vor Herausforderungen stellt. Gerade in diesen seltenen häufig dramatischen Situationen schnelles umsichtiges Handeln im Team gefragt. Dabei die effektivste meist einzig notwendige Maßnahme für erfolgreiche Versorgung nicht spontan atmenden eine suffiziente Maskenbeatmung. Wird diese...
