Comparative Study Observational Study
Cerebral oxygenation after birth - a comparison of INVOS(®) and FORE-SIGHT™ near-infrared spectroscopy oximeters.
To compare absolute values of regional cerebral tissue oxygenation (cStO2 ) during haemodynamic transition after birth and repeatability during steady state for two commercial near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) devices. ⋯ The INVOS and FORE-SIGHT cStO2 estimates showed oxygenation-level-dependent difference during birth transition. The better repeatability of FORE-SIGHT could be due to the lower response to change in saturation.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Mask leak increases and minute ventilation decreases when chest compressions are added to bag ventilation in a neonatal manikin model.
To determine changes in respiratory mechanics when chest compressions are added to mask ventilation, as recommended by the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) guidelines for newborn infants. ⋯ Adding chest compressions to mask ventilation, in accordance with the ILCOR guidelines, in a manikin model is associated with a significant reduction in delivered ventilation and increase in mask leak. If similar findings occur in human infants needing an escalation in resuscitation, there is a potential risk of either delay in recovery or inadequate response to resuscitation.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Effect of high-dose paracetamol on needle procedures in children with cancer--an RCT.
The aim was to investigate whether children experience less pain, fear and/or distress when they receive high-dose paracetamol compared with placebo, using a needle insertion in a subcutaneously implanted intravenous port as a model. ⋯ Paracetamol provides no additive effect in reducing pain, fear and distress when combined with topical anaesthesia in children undergoing port needle insertion.
