<h3>Objective</h3> To determine periextubation practices in extremely preterm infants (<28 weeks gestation). <h3>Design</h3> A survey consisting of 13 questions related to weaning from mechanical ventilation, assessment extubation readiness and postextubation respiratory support was developed sent clinical directors level III NICUs Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand USA. descriptive analysis the results performed. <h3>Results</h3> 112/162 (69%) units responded; 36% reported having a...
The purpose of this work was to evaluate the impact implementation a ventilation protocol driven by registered respiratory therapists on outcomes premature infants with birth weight < or =1250 g.A therapist developed multidisciplinary group and implemented in our unit July 2004. A retrospective review 301 inborn g who were mechanically ventilated performed. Ninety-three before (before), 109 first year (after 1) 99 during second 2) after implementation. Data collected predefined form.The...
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Mechanical ventilation (MV) is associated with changes in autonomic nervous system activity preterm infants, which can be assessed by measurements of heart rate variability (HRV). Decreased HRV has been described adults undergoing disconnection from MV; such information not available infants. <b><i>Objective:</i></b> To compare differences between infants successfully extubated and those who failed, to evaluate the...
<h3>Importance</h3> Spontaneous breathing trials (SBTs) are used to determine extubation readiness in extremely preterm neonates (gestational age ≤28 weeks), but these rely on empirical combinations of clinical events during endotracheal continuous positive airway pressure (ET-CPAP). <h3>Objectives</h3> To describe ET-CPAP and assess accuracy comprehensive event predicting successful compared with judgment alone. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> This multicenter diagnostic study data...
Background A spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) has been used to guide suitability of extubation in VLBW infants. Respiratory variability (RV) assess readiness adults but was never investigated preterms. The combination a SBT and RV may further improve prediction successful extubation. Study design Using data previously collected during the SBT, following respiratory variables were analysed: inspiratory time (T I ), expiratory E T /total breath time, tidal volume (V ) mean flow /T )....
Extremely preterm infants (≤ 28 weeks gestation) commonly require endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation (MV) to maintain adequate oxygenation gas exchange. Given that MV is independently associated with important adverse outcomes, efforts should be made limit its duration. However, current methods for determining extubation readiness are inaccurate a significant number of fail reintubation, an intervention may increased morbidities. A variety objective measures have been...

Neonatal heart rate variability (HRV) is widely used as a research tool. However, HRV calculation methods are highly variable making it difficult for comparisons between studies.To describe the different types of investigations where neonatal was used, study characteristics, and analyses performed.Human neonates ≤1 month corrected age.A protocol search strategy literature developed in collaboration with McGill University Health Center's librarians articles were obtained from searches Biosis,...
A multidisciplinary comprehensive protocol to use bubble continuous positive airway pressure (bCPAP) as the primary respiratory support in delivery room (DR) and NICU was introduced. With this study, we aimed assess association of change with outcomes over time.
