Introduction: Data on laboratory markers of spontaneous intestinal perforation (SIP) and necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) remain sparse. Objective: To compare serum alkaline phosphatase levels in infants with bowel perforation secondary to SIP versus surgical NEC, and then investigate the possible role of serum alkaline phosphatase in differentiatin...

Background: Ventilation is the key intervention to resuscitate non-breathing newborns. Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) may facilitate lung-liquid clearance and help establish functional residual capacity. Objectives: The aim of this study was to describe how mask leak and ventilation rates affect delivered PEEP and tidal volumes during newb...

Background: Umbilical arterial catheters (UACs) are frequently used in critically ill neonates. UAC are convenient, reliable, and allow for caregiver convenience in performing painless arterial blood sampling. We hypothesized that UAC removal in extremely low birth weight (ELBW) neonates will result in significantly less phlebotomy blood loss (PBL)...

Introduction: Magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) is frequently administered for maternal and fetal neuroprotection in preeclampsia (PE) and imminent preterm birth, respectively. Objective: To assess whether MgSO4 affects neonatal cerebral oxygenation, blood flow, and cerebral autoregulation (CAR) during the first postnatal days independently from PE. Method...

Background: Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is associated with adverse perinatal outcome. Affected fetuses commonly display typical blood flow redistribution towards the brain (“brain sparing”). Accordingly, increased cerebral oxygen saturation has been observed in IUGR neonates within the first days of life. Aim: The aim of our study was to...

The novel coronavirus 2019 (SARS-CoV-2) has been well described in adults. Further, the impact on older children and during the perinatal time is becoming better studied. As community spread increases, it is important to recognize that neonates are vulnerable to community spread as well. The impact that community-acquired SARS-CoV-2 has in the neon...

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a common and serious complication of preterm birth. Limited pharmacological and other medical interventions are currently available for the management of severely affected, very preterm infants. BPD can be modelled in preclinical studies using experimental animals, and experimental animal models have been extreme...

Background: The role of hemostasis in the closure of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in preterm infants is controversial. Objective: To assess thromboelastography (TEG) at birth in very-low-birth-weight (VLBW) infants affected by PDA. Methods: This was an ancillary study of a prospective observational study aimed at defining the TEG profile in healt...
