Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudyA randomized clinical trial of therapeutic hypothermia mode during transport for neonatal encephalopathy.
To determine if temperature regulation is improved during neonatal transport using a servo-regulated cooling device when compared with standard practice. ⋯ Cooling using a servo-regulated device provides more predictable temperature management during neonatal transport than does usual care for outborn newborns with neonatal encephalopathy.

Randomized Controlled TrialVasopressin versus dopamine for treatment of hypotension in extremely low birth weight infants: a randomized, blinded pilot study.
To evaluate vasopressin vs dopamine as initial therapy in extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants with hypotension during the first 24 hours of life. ⋯ Vasopressin in ELBW infants as the initial agent for early hypotension appeared safe. This pilot study supports a larger randomized controlled trial of vasopressin vs dopamine therapy in ELBW infants with hypotension.
