Objectives To determine whether the introduction of Obstetrics Emergency Training in line with recommendations Clinical Negligence Scheme for Trusts (CNST) was associated a reduction perinatal asphyxia and neonatal hypoxic–ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE). Design A retrospective cohort observational study. Setting tertiary referral maternity unit teaching hospital. Population Term, cephalic presenting, singleton infants born at Southmead Hospital between 1998 2003 were identified; those by...
The use of high-flow nasal cannulae is an increasingly popular alternative to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) for noninvasive respiratory support very preterm infants (gestational age, <32 weeks) after extubation. However, data on the efficacy or safety such in this population are lacking.In multicenter, randomized, noninferiority trial, we assigned 303 receive treatment with either (5 6 liters per minute) CPAP (7 cm water) primary outcome was failure within 7 days. Noninferiority...
Treatment with nasal high-flow therapy has efficacy similar to that of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) when used as postextubation support in neonates. The the primary means respiratory for preterm infants distress not been proved.
<h3>Importance</h3> Preterm infants must establish regular respirations at delivery. Sustained inflations may lung volume faster than short inflations. <h3>Objective</h3> To determine whether a ventilation strategy including sustained inflations, compared with standard intermittent positive pressure ventilation, reduces bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) or death 36 weeks' postmenstrual age without harm in extremely preterm infants. <h3>Design, Setting, and Participants</h3> Unmasked,...
Neonatal endotracheal intubation often involves more than one attempt, and oxygen desaturation is common. It unclear whether nasal high-flow therapy, which extends the time to during elective in children adults receiving general anesthesia, can improve likelihood of successful neonatal on first attempt.
The optimal timing of radiotherapy (RT) after radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer has been uncertain. RADICALS-RT compared efficacy and safety adjuvant RT versus an observation policy with salvage prostate-specific antigen (PSA) failure.
Techniques of positioning and holding neonatal face masks vary. Studies have shown that leak at the mask is common often substantial irrespective operator experience.(1) To identify a technique for placement hold which will minimise leak. (2) investigate effect written instruction demonstration identified on two round masks.Three experienced neonatologists compared methods placing to Fisher & Paykel 60 mm Laerdal size 0/1 masks. 50 clinical staff gave positive pressure ventilation modified...
Nasal high-flow therapy is an alternative to nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) as a means of respiratory support for newborn infants. The efficacy in nontertiary special care nurseries unknown.
<h3>Background:</h3> Positive pressure ventilation (PPV) via a face mask is an important skill taught using manikins. There have been few attempts to assess the effectiveness of different designs. <h3>Aim:</h3> To determine whether leak at during simulated neonatal resuscitation differed between new round design and current most widely used model. <h3>Method:</h3> 50 participants gave PPV modified manikin designed measure mask. Leak was calculated from difference inspired expired tidal...
<h3>Background:</h3> Less invasive techniques of respiratory support are increasingly popular. <h3>Objective:</h3> To determine how widespread the use neonatal nasal intermittent positive airway pressure (NIPPV) has become and describe range practice used in NIPPV England. <h3>Methods:</h3> 95 English Neonatal intensive care units were asked to provide information about devices, interfaces, indications, guidelines, synchronisation, complications, settings weaning. <h3>Results:</h3> 91 (96%)...
<h3>Background</h3> Nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) may be beneficial but the mechanisms of action are undetermined. <h3>Aim</h3> To investigate effects non-synchronised NIPPV on spontaneous breathing in premature infants. <h3>Methods</h3> 10 infants receiving ventilator generated were studied for 30 min. Delivered was measured at nose; respiration recorded using respiratory inductance plethysmography. Oxygen saturation, carbon dioxide, heart rate, inspired oxygen...
Non-tertiary centres (NTCs) in Australia and New Zealand are increasingly providing non-invasive respiratory support, including high-flow nasal cannulae (HFNC) continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP), to newborn infants. We aimed determine the proportion of NTCs these countries treating infants with HFNC nCPAP, how therapies used.We surveyed public private Zealand. The survey, directed at senior medical nursing staff, consisted questions regarding unit demographics, nCPAP use.One hundred...
Abstract The imperative to improve the well-being of graduate medical education (GME) trainees has been well documented. While existing interventions have largely centered on increasing individual trainee resilience, less focus role national health policy, economics, and overall U.S. care delivery system in acting as antecedent contributors burnout among learners. To explore impact these level factors, Princeton University hosted Systems Summit Clinical Wellbeing October 2023. Co-sponsored...
Objective The James Lind Alliance (JLA) Most Premature Babies Priority Setting Partnership aimed to identify the most important areas for research infants born <25 weeks’ gestation. Design Employing standardised JLA methodology, questions were sought from stakeholders via an online survey. Summary formed and checked against existing evidence, with unanswered compiled into a second shortlisting survey prioritisation by stakeholders. A stakeholder consensus workshop was held determine top...
