Mashup Score: 0Newborn with isolated severe deficiency of cranial vault ossification: a case of cleidocranial dysplasia - 10 month(s) ago
A male infant was delivered vaginally at 37+4 weeks after an uncomplicated pregnancy with normal antenatal ultrasonography. An abnormal head shape was noted, with normal head circumference, reduced biparietal diameter, orbital hypertelorism, short philtrum and microretrognathia (figure 1A–C). The skull felt soft when palpated. The rest of physical examination was normal. An X-ray (figure 1D), MRI…

Mashup Score: 1Randomised control trial of oxygen assist module in preterm infants on high-flow nasal cannula support - 10 month(s) ago
Objective To evaluate the efficacy of automatic oxygen control (A-FiO2) in reducing the extremes of oxygen saturations (SpO2<80% and SpO2>98%) in preterm infants on high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) respiratory support using Vapotherm Precision Flow. Design A parallel-arm randomised controlled trial. Setting A level-III neonatal intensive care unit. Patients Preterm infants born <33 (23+0 to...

Mashup Score: 3Safety and feasibility of platelet transfusion through long catheters in the neonatal intensive care unit: an in vitro study - 10 month(s) ago
Objective To assess the safety and feasibility of platelet transfusion through small-bore long lines used in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), including double-lumen umbilical venous catheters (UVCs) and 24 G and 28 G peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs). Design Prospective in vitro controlled study. Setting Blood transfusion service laboratory. Methods In vitro platelet…

Mashup Score: 1Prevalence of symptomatic tracheal morbidities after fetoscopic endoluminal tracheal occlusion: a systematic review and meta-analysis - 10 month(s) ago
Background Fetoscopic endoluminal tracheal occlusion (FETO) has been shown to improve survival of infants with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). However, there are concerns that FETO may lead to tracheomegaly, tracheomalacia and related complications. Methods A systematic review was conducted to estimate the prevalence of symptomatic tracheal complications in infants who underwent FETO for…

Mashup Score: 0Thermal care for preterm infants in the delivery room has not been compromised since the routine adoption of delayed cord clamping in our unit - 10 month(s) ago
It was with great interest that we read the work of Dunne et al describing higher rates of admission hypothermia in preterm infants following the introduction of delayed cord clamping (DCC) (6% to 54%).1 We share their concerns given the association between admission hypothermia and increased mortality.2 The 2021 National Neonatal Audit Programme (NNAP) data highlighted our tertiary, medical…

Mashup Score: 0
Prophylactic cyclo-oxygenase inhibitors (COX-Is) such as indomethacin, ibuprofen and acetaminophen may prevent morbidity and mortality in extremely preterm infants (born ≤28 weeks’ gestation). However, there is controversy around which COX-I, if any, is the most effective and safest, which has resulted in considerable variability in clinical practice. Our objective was to develop rigorous and…

Mashup Score: 1Predictive performance of multiple organ dysfunction in asphyxiated newborns treated with therapeutic hypothermia on 24-month outcome: a cohort study - 10 month(s) ago
Background Perinatal asphyxia may be followed by multiple organ dysfunction (MOD) and is often included in prognostication of the individual patient, but evidence of discriminating accuracy is lacking. The aim of this study was to assess whether MOD in asphyxiated neonates during therapeutic hypothermia (TH) predicts mortality or neurodevelopmental impairment (NDI) at 24 months of age and which…

Mashup Score: 0Variation in hospital morbidities in an Australian neonatal intensive care unit network - 10 month(s) ago
Objective There is an expectation among the public and within the profession that the performance and outcome of neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) should be comparable between centres with a similar setting. This study aims to benchmark and audit performance variation in a regional Australian network of eight NICUs. Design Cohort study using prospectively collected data. Setting All eight…
