Objective: Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) has been shown to improve the outcome of infants with respiratory distress syndrome. However, noise generation could be of concern.

Objective The objective is to evaluate changes in survival to discharge of liveborn infants less than 32 weeks’ gestational age (GA) in France, where the latest available data on very preterm survival ...

Method The authors reviewed 500 charts of 12 h periods of observation in 303 patients. Patients in all areas of the obstetric unit were included. The presence of any trigger in the period was recorded ...

Intermittent hypoxaemia (IH) events are well described in extremely preterm infants, but the occurrence of IH patterns in more mature preterm infants remains unclear. The objective of this study was ...

Objectives With increasing advances in neonatal transport, a focused research strategy is required to increase the evidence base towards providing optimal care. We aimed to identify the most important ...
