Observational Study
Cerebral, renal, and splanchnic tissue oxygen saturation values in healthy term newborns.
To determine cerebral regional tissue oxygen saturation (CrSO2), renal regional tissue oxygen saturation (RrSO2), and splanchnic regional tissue oxygen saturation (SrSO2) values in healthy term infants. ⋯ There appears to be consistency in rSO2 values in healthy newborns. CrSO2 was similar on both days. Differences observed in RrSO2 and SrSO2 between days may represent a shift in somatic blood flow distribution taking place during the first day of life.

Observational Study
Geographical information systems for mapping maternal ground transport to level III care neonatal centers.
The objective of this investigation was to determine maternal ground transport times from community hospitals to the nearest hospital offering comprehensive (level III) neonatal care within the contiguous United States. ⋯ GIS mapping enables health providers and health policy makers to better understand maternal ground transport times to current and future regional hospitals offering level III neonatal services.
