Objective Outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (OPAT) is increasingly used to treat children at home, but studies in are scarce. We aimed describe the use, appropriateness and outcomes of OPAT children. Design This was a 12-month prospective observational study. Setting The hospital-in-the-home programme Royal Children's Hospital Melbourne. Patients All patients receiving OPAT. Interventions Data were collected including demographics, diagnosis, type venous access antibiotic choice....
Objectives To compare success and safety of endotracheal tube (ETT) exchanges with primary intubations identify factors associated ETT exchange outcomes. Design Retrospective observational study prospectively collected National Emergency Airway Registry for Neonates data. are the placement a new when one is already in place, whereas do not have pre-existing ETT. The outcome was first-attempt success. Secondary outcomes included number attempts, adverse tracheal intubation-associated events...
Background Neonatal endotracheal intubation is often associated with physiological instability. The Resuscitation Program recommends a time-based limit (30 s) for attempts in the delivery room, but there are limited data to support recommendations neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). We aimed determine time desaturation after ceasing spontaneous or assisted breathing preterm infants undergoing elective NICU. Methods Observational study at Royal Women’s Hospital, Melbourne. A secondary...
To determine the accuracy of pre-extubation lung ultrasound (LUS) to predict reintubation in preterm infants born <32 weeks' gestation.
Abstract Background On January 31st, 2023, the province of British Columbia (BC), Canada, was granted a federal exemption allowing adults (aged 18 +) to possess up 2.5 g select illicit drugs. The will be in place for three years (2023–2026), marking first formal decriminalization drug policy reform Canada. BC’s initiative is premised on several goals. This project seeks evaluate each these goals and their individual combined contributions determine overall success this policy. Methods...
Objective To report the use, and assess efficacy outcomes of outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (OPAT) in neonates (≤28 days age), compared with older infants (1–12 months age). Design A prospective 8-year observational study from September 2012 to 2020. Setting The Hospital-in-the-Home (HITH) programme Royal Children’s Hospital Melbourne. Patients Neonatal patients age) were receiving OPAT. Interventions Data collected including demographics, diagnosis, type venous access...
Neonatal endotracheal intubation is a lifesaving but technically difficult procedure, particularly for inexperienced operators. This secondary analysis in subgroup of operators the Stabilization with nasal High flow during Intubation NEonates randomised trial aimed to identify factors associated successful on first attempt without physiological stability infant.
Objective To measure the nasal gas flow in infants treated with bubble continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and compare it commonly used flows during high (nHF) treatment. Design This is a prospective, single-centre study. Bubble CPAP was measured at prongs. Set reduced until bubbling water chamber just ceased. without then approximated entering infant’s nose (‘delivered flow’). Setting Neonatal intensive care The Royal Women’s Hospital, Melbourne, Australia. Patients Clinically stable...
