Aim: Neonatal endotracheal intubation is a challenging procedure during transport. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the emergency intubation guidelines followed by our Neonatal Emergency Transport Service (NETS). Methods: Our transport intubation guidelines follows a weight-based nomogram for nasal intubation, and the...

Objective: A lack of consensus exists about the appropriate criteria to activate a helicopter during neonatal transport. The aim of the present study was to explore the possible guiding criteria to justify helicopter activation for neonatal transport (NETS). Methods: This was a retrospective study of the Gaslini Genoa NETSs from February 1995...

Aim: Chylothorax is a rare but life-threatening condition in newborns. Octreotide, a somatostatin analogue, is widely used as a therapeutic option in neonates with congenital and acquired chylothorax, but its therapeutic role has not been clarified yet. Methods: We performed a systematic review to assess the efficacy and safety of octreotide in...

Objective The study aimed to assess whether there was any difference in the transition time to full oral feedings between parent-administered and professional-administered premature infant oral motor intervention (PIOMI). The study also evaluated parental satisfaction with performing the intervention through an open-ended questionnaire. Study...

Objective: The purpose of this study was to find a predictive equation for estimating the optimal nasal endotracheal tube insertion depth in extremely low–birth weight infants (ELBWs) requiring invasive ventilation in the critical care interfacility transport setting. Methods: We retrospectively calculated the optimal tube insertion depth in a...

Neonatal hypoglycemia is a common condition. A transient reduction in blood glucose values is part of a transitional metabolic adaptation following birth, which resolves within the first 48 to 72 h of life. In addition, several factors may interfere with glucose homeostasis, especially in case of limited metabolic stores or increased energy...

Placental pathology as a predisposing factor to intraventricular hemorrhage remains a matter of debate, and its contribution to cerebellar hemorrhage development is still largely unexplored. Our study aimed to assess placental and perinatal risk factors for intraventricular and cerebellar hemorrhages in preterm infants. This retrospective...
