Background
Respiratory function monitors (RFMs) have been used extensively in manikin and infant studies yet have not become the standard of training. We report the outcomes of a new portable, lightweight RFM, the Juno, designed to show mask leak and deflation tidal volume to assist in positive pressure ventilation (PPV) competency training using m...
Introduction
Assessment of bowel health in ill preterm infants is essential to prevent and diagnose early potentially life-threatening intestinal conditions such as necrotizing enterocolitis. Auscultation of bowel sounds helps assess peristalsis and is an essential component of this assessment.
Aim
We aim to compare conventional bowel sound auscul...
Background: Respiratory function monitors (RFM) have been used extensively in manikin and infant studies yet have not become the standard of training.

Background:
Newborn resuscitation guidelines recommend positive pressure ventilation (PPV) for newborns who do not establish effective spontaneous breathing after birth. T-piece resuscitator systems are commonly used in high-resource settings and can additionally provide positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP). Short expiratory time, high resistan...
This review describes the sonographic appearances of the neonatal bowel in Necrotising enterocolitis. It compares these findings to those seen in midgut-Volvulus, obstructive intestinal conditions such as milk-curd obstruction, and slow gut motility in preterm infants on continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP)-CPAP belly syndrome. Point-of-care...
Background
Mask leak and airway obstruction are common with mask ventilation in newborn infants, leading to suboptimal ventilation. We aimed to perform a pilot study measuring respiratory mechanics during one-person and two-person mask ventilation in preterm infants at birth.
Methods
Infants less than 30 weeks’ gestation were eligible for the stud...
Aim
Estimation of end-tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2) with capnography can guide mask ventilation in infants born at less than 30 weeks of gestation. Chemical sensitive colorimetric devices to detect CO2 are widely used at resuscitation. We aimed to quantify EtCO2 in the first breaths following initiation of mask ventilation at birth and correlated ne...
Introduction
In neonatal resuscitation, T-piece resuscitator (TPR) are used widely, but the evidence is limited for their use in infants born at term gestation. The aim of this study was to compare the delivered positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) and respiratory system resistance ( R rs) using TPR and self-inflating bag (SIB) in a cadaveric pi...
For the care of neonatal infants, abdominal auscultation is considered a safe, convenient, and inexpensive method to monitor bowel conditions. With the help of early automated detection of bowel dysfunction, neonatologists could create a diagnosis plan for early intervention. In this paper, a novel technique is proposed for automated peristalsis so...
Purpose
In neonatal resuscitation, using a T-piece resuscitator (TPR) is used widely, however the evidence is limited for the use in infants born at term gestation. The aim of this study was to compare the positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) and respiratory system resistance (Rrs) using TPR and self-inflating bag (SIB) in a cadaveric piglet mod...
Purpose: Newborn mask ventilation technique requires skills, and effective resuscitation is essential for pulmonary gas exchange. The most effective compression to ventilation (C:V) ratio in newborn resuscitation is still contentious and there is no evidence of human data supporting the current 3:1 ratio. We aimed to study mask leak and respiratory...

Background: Resuscitation of infants using T-piece resuscitators (TPR) allow positive pressure ventilation with positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP). The adjustable PEEP valve adds resistance to expiration and could contribute to inadvertent PEEP. The study indirectly investigated risk of inadvertent peep by determining expiratory time constants...
Objectives:
To evaluate cerebral oxygenation (cTOI) and cerebral perfusion in preterm infants in supine versus prone positions.
Study design:
Sixty preterm infants, born before 32 weeks gestation, were enrolled; 30 had bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD, defined as the need for respiratory support and/or supplemental oxygen at 36 weeks post menstru...
Infant resuscitation devices used at birth must be capable of delivering adequate and consistent ventilation in a controlled and predictable manner to a wide patient weight range, and combinations of transitional lung states. Manual inflation resuscitation devices delivering positive pressure lung inflation at birth can be classified broadly into t...
This is an Australia New Zealand Neonatal Network (ANZNN) wide survey to identify current practice and guide future practice improvement for the use of laryngeal mask airway (LMA) during neonatal resuscitation. An online questionnaire containing 13 questions was sent out to all tertiary neonatal centres (n = 29 units) and neonatal transport units (...
Background
T-piece resuscitators (TPRs) are used for primary newborn resuscitation in birthing and emergency rooms worldwide. A recent study has shown spikes in peak inflation pressure (PIP) over set values with two brands of TPRs inbuilt into infant warmer/resuscitation platforms. We aimed to compare delivered ventilation between two TPR drivers w...
Background and Objectives
In anaemic preterm infants who receive packed red blood cell (PRBC) transfusions, changes to mesenteric tissue oxygenation and perfusion have been reported using a restrictive haemoglobin (Hb)‐based threshold. We aimed to investigate changes to hepatic tissue oxygenation and abdominal blood flow after PRBC transfusion and...
Background
Very low birthweight or preterm infants are at increased risk of adverse outcomes including sepsis, necrotising enterocolitis, and death. We assessed whether supplementing the enteral diet of very low-birthweight infants with lactoferrin, an antimicrobial protein, reduces all-cause mortality or major morbidity.
Methods
We did a multicen...
Aim:
The use of umbilical arterial catheters (UACs) is a standard of care in monitoring critically unwell infants. Serious vascular complications are rare but when they do occur, they can be associated with significant morbidity, risking limb loss or even death. Near infra-red spectroscopy has the potential to monitor limb perfusion. Our study inv...
Background:
Red blood cell (RBC) transfusion is a standard treatment for anemia of prematurity. Cerebral tissue oxygenation and blood flow velocities improve when a restrictive transfusion threshold is followed, but little is known about the effect of practicing a liberal transfusion threshold on cerebral tissue oxygenation, cerebral blood flow ve...

Results
We stud...
Management and monitoring of infants within the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) represents a unique challenge. It involves an array of life-threatening diseases, procedures with potentially lifelong impacts, co-morbidities associated with preterm birth and risk of infection from prolonged exposure to the hospital environment. With the integrati...
Background
International neonatal resuscitation guidelines recommend the use of laryngeal mask airway (LMA) with newborn infants (≥34 weeks’ gestation or >2 kg weight) when bag-mask ventilation (BMV) or tracheal intubation is unsuccessful. Previous publications do not allow broad LMA device comparison.
Objective
To compare delivered ventilation of...

Despite the decline in mortality rates of extremely preterm infants, intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH) remains common in survivors. The need for resuscitation and cardiorespiratory management, particularly within the first 24 hours of life, are important factors in the incidence and timing of IVH. Variability analyses of heart rate and blood press...
Background:
Manual resuscitation devices for infants and newborns must be able to provide adequate ventilation in a safe and consistent manner across a wide range of patient sizes (0.5-10 kg) and differing clinical states. There are little comparative data assessing biomechanical performance of common infant manual resuscitation devices across the...
Background
The T-piece resuscitator (TPR) is in common use worldwide to deliver positive pressure ventilation during resuscitation of infants <10 kg. Ease of use, ability to provide positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), availability of devices inbuilt into resuscitaires and cheaper disposable options have increased its popularity as a first-line...
Neonatal endotracheal intubation is commonly accompanied by significant disturbances in physiological parameters. The procedure is often poorly tolerated, and multiple attempts are commonly required before the airway is secured. Adverse physiological effects include hypoxemia, bradycardia, hypertension, elevation in intracranial pressure and possib...
Background:
Non-invasive continuous positive airways pressure is commonly a primary respiratory therapy delivered via multi-purpose ventilators in premature newborns. Expiratory limb occlusion due to water accumulation or 'rainout' from gas humidification is a frequent issue. A case of expiratory limb occlusion due to rainout causing unexpected an...
Background The self-inflating bag (SIB) is the most common device used to resuscitate newborn infants worldwide. Delivering positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) may be important in infant resuscitation and limited research using one brand (Laerdal) SIB has led to international guidelines stating SIBs ‘often deliver inconsistent positive end-expi...
