Background: Heart rate assessment immediately after birth in newborn infants is critical to
the correct guidance of resuscitation efforts. There are disagreements as to the best method …

Importance The benefits of surfactant administration via a thin catheter (minimally invasive
surfactant therapy [MIST]) in preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome are …

Respiratory support in the delivery room remains challenging. Assessing chest rise is
imprecise, and mask leak and airway obstruction are common problems. We describe …

Importance The long-term effects of surfactant administration via a thin catheter (minimally
invasive surfactant therapy [MIST]) in preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome …

Background Visual attention (VA) is important for situation awareness and decision-making.
Eye tracking can be used to analyse the VA of healthcare providers. No study has examined …

Background Current neonatal resuscitation guidelines recommend 3: 1 compression:
ventilation (C: V) ratio. Recently, animal studies reported that continuous chest …

Importance A sustained inflation (SI) provided at birth might reduce bronchopulmonary
dysplasia (BPD). Objective This study aims to examine whether an SI-guided exhaled …

Objective To examine the temporal course of lung aeration at birth in preterm infants< 33
weeks gestation. Study design The research team attended deliveries of preterm infants< 33 …

Background The need for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is often unexpected, and the
infrequent use of CPR in the delivery room (DR) limits the opportunity to perform rigorous …

Objective To evaluate the changes in preductal oxygen saturation (SpO 2) and heart rate in
preterm infants receiving continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and/or positive …
