ABSTRACT Introduction Lung ultrasound score (LUS) is used to predict the need for surfactant in preterm neonates. Its performance lower neonates with a gestational age (GA) ≥ 34 weeks. We developed score, thoracic (TUS), overcome shortcomings of LUS. Objectives To assess feasibility and diagnostic accuracy TUS evaluate oxygenation administration, compared Materials Methods This was prospective, multicenter, observational study. Preterm noninvasive ventilation GA between 24 + 0 36 6 weeks...
Sepsis is a major concern in neonatology, but there are no reliable biomarkers for its early diagnosis. The aim of the study was to compare metabolic profiles plasma and urine samples collected at birth from preterm neonates with without earlyonset sepsis (EOS) identify perturbations that might orient search new biomarkers. All newborns admitted neonatal intensive care unit were eligible this proof-of-concept, prospective case-control study. Infants enrolled as “cases” if they developed EOS,...
Since February 21, 2020, SARS-CoV-2 has spread exponentially worldwide. Neonatal patients needing intensive care are considered a vulnerable population. To report the results of policy based on multi-timepoint surveillance for all neonates admitted to neonatal unit (NICU), their parents, and healthcare providers in part Italy with high prevalence infection. Observational study conducted from 21 April 2020. Intervention consisted (a) parental triage arrival at ward; (b) universal testing...
Perinatal asphyxia (PA) still occurs in about three to five per 1,000 deliveries developed countries; 20% of these infants show hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The aim our study was apply metabolomic analysis newborns undergoing therapeutic hypothermia (TH) after PA identify a distinct metabotype associated with the development HIE MRI. We enrolled 53 born at >35 weeks gestation PA: 21 them showed MRI (the “HIE” group), and 32 did not “no...
High fidelity simulation has been executed to allow the evaluation of technical and non-technical skills health caregivers. Our objective was assess performances low level hospitals caregivers who attended a Neonatal Resuscitation course using high in standard-setting scenario. Twenty-three volunteers were asked manage simple scenario (infant with secondary apnea) after course. Technical assessed by previously published scores. Performances during 2 months filmed video recordings. Sixteen...
Premature infants have the highest risk of being hospitalized with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections. Palivizumab is only licensed agent for RSVhospitalization (RSVH) prophylaxis in born at < 35 weeks gestational age (wGA). In 2016, Italian Drug Agency (Agenzia Italiana del Farmaco [AIFA]) has restricted eligibility reimbursement to high RSVH, ruling out palivizumab administration > 29 wGA. The aim present study was compare incidence RSVH two consecutive epidemic seasons...
The most important action in the resuscitation of a newborn delivery room is to establish effective assisted ventilation. face mask and endotracheal tube are devices used achieve this goal. Laryngeal airways that fit over laryngeal inlet have been shown be for ventilating newborns at birth should considered as an alternative facemask ventilation or intubation among weighing >2,000 g delivered ≥34 weeks' gestation. A recent systematic review meta-analysis supraglottic neonatal reported...
A female infant was born at 27+5 weeks of gestation through emergency caesarean section, performed because an acute increase a compressive thoracic malformation diagnosed the 20th gestational week. At birth, two enormous violaceous masses extending to thorax and superior limbs were observed (figure 1). The immediately intubated transfused severe anaemia. bandage on decrease risk bleeding. Angio-CT confirmed presence voluminous surrounding …
Among infants needing urgent transfer after birth, very preterm are a high-risk sub-group requiring special attention. This study aimed to assess trends in early respiratory management large series of undergoing postnatal transfer.Trends patient characteristics and were assessed 798 who transferred by the Eastern Veneto Neonatal Emergency Transport Service 2000-2019. Trends analyzed using joinpoint regression analysis summarized as annual percentage changes (APCs).Proportion neonates with...
Objective: International Guidelines provide a standardised approach to newborn resuscitation in the DR and, their most recent versions, recommendations dedicated management of ELBWI were progressively increased. It is expected that introduction clinical practice and dissemination evidence should be more consistent academic than non-academic hospitals. The aim study was compare adherence consistency delivery room extremely low birth weight infants between institutions.Methods: A questionnaire...
An ex-preterm, exclusively breastfed baby with poor postnatal growth was evaluated at 5 months of age for perianal erosive dermatitis (figure 1) and foul stools. No other cutaneous involvement present. Investigations showed mild zinc deficiency (65 μg/dL, range 68–107). Unfortunately, no maternal blood or breast milk levels were available. The rapidly improved in six days 2) on oral supplementation sulfate (2 mg/kg/day), remained stable zinc-enriched formula milk, without …
