Growth restriction and gender influence cerebral oxygenation in preterm neonates.
To investigate the effect of fetal growth restriction and gender on cerebral oxygenation in preterm neonates during the first 3 days of life. ⋯ Growth restriction and gender influence cerebral oxygenation and oxygen extraction in preterm neonates throughout the first 3 days of life.

Randomized Controlled TrialNon-invasive neurally adjusted ventilatory assist in preterm infants: a randomised phase II crossover trial.
To compare non-invasive ventilation neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NIV-NAVA) and non-invasive pressure support (NIV-PS) in preterm infants on patient-ventilator synchrony. ⋯ NAVA improved patient-ventilator synchrony and diaphragmatic unloading in preterm infants during non-invasive nasal ventilation even in the presence of large air leaks.

Clinical TrialChange in tidal volume during cardiopulmonary resuscitation in newborn piglets.
The purpose of inflations during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is to deliver an adequate tidal volume (VT) to facilitate gas exchange. However, no study has examined VT delivery during chest compression (CC) in detail to understand the effect of CC on lung aeration. The aim of the study was to examine VT changes during CC and their effect on lung aeration. ⋯ VT delivery is improved using CC+SI compared with 3:1 C:V. This improvement in VT delivery may lead to better alveolar oxygen delivery and lung aeration.

Effectivity of ventilation by measuring expired CO2 and RIP during stabilisation of preterm infants at birth.
To measure tidal volume, plethysmography changes and gas exchange during respiratory support at birth. ⋯ While Vte during breathing on CPAP was lower compared with PPV coinciding with breathing, breathing on CPAP was most effective in gas exchange and plethysmography amplitude gain compared with PPV and PPV coinciding with breathing.
