Background: The number of infants born via cesarean section (CS) is increasing globally due to medical and cultural reasons.
Objectives: This study aimed to determine the effect of the mode of delivery on early lung aeration in newborns using electrical impedance tomography (EIT).
Material And Methods: The case-control study was conducted from December 2020 to April 2021.
: Nephrocalcinosis (NC) is a common condition characterized by the deposition of calcium salts in the kidneys of very preterm infants due to tubular immaturity, intensive treatment and nutritional supplements. However, optimal vitamin D supplementation remains unclear. In most patients, NC spontaneously resolves within the first year of life, but long-term kidney function data are lacking.

- The study investigated lung ventilation differences between late preterm neonates and term neonates during the early minutes after birth.
- Significant discrepancies in lung ventilation were found, with late preterm neonates exhibiting more silent lung areas, particularly in non-dependent regions.
- The findings suggest that late preterm neonates have impaired lung function during the critical adaptation period post-birth, potentially affecting their respiratory health.
Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) frequently necessitates respiratory support. While non-invasive methods are typically the preferred approach, mechanical ventilation becomes necessary for patients with insufficient response. Our study aimed to compare two common respiratory support modes, volume-targeted mechanical ventilation and non-invasive ventilation continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC), using electrical impedance tomography.

Methods: Very low-birth-weight infants with gestational ages less than 32 wk were included in the study. Participants were split into two groups: those receiving continuous positive airway pressure and infants receiving high-flow nasal cannula therapy.
