Unlabelled: Infants requiring interhospital transfer for a higher level of care in the neonatal period are at increased risk of adverse outcomes. Optimising respiratory management is an important priority. The aim of this survey was to investigate current respiratory support strategies in neonatal transport and identify opportunities for the optimisation of clinical care and future research.

Methods: Infants were randomised to receive CLAC or manual oxygen control from recruitment and within 24 h of mechanical ventilation until successful extubation.
Results: Forty infants with a median (IQR) gestational age of 37.
Article Synopsis
- Prematurely born males show greater respiratory issues in childhood than females, but differences in lung function during adolescence and early adulthood are not clearly defined.
- A systematic review analyzed 1969 studies, ultimately including seven, which revealed mixed results regarding sex differences in lung function among prematurely born individuals.
- The findings suggest that while some studies indicated worse lung function in adult males, overall results were inconsistent, highlighting the need for further research to better understand how sex impacts lung function in those born prematurely.
Article Synopsis
- * Most units use different criteria for diagnosis, and 79% refer patients to specialized services, highlighting discrepancies in practices.
- * The review discusses challenges in early diagnosis, management strategies for airway obstruction, and reveals ongoing uncertainty about the best treatment approaches for RS.
. The role of race in late preterm respiratory morbidity has not been adequately described. We aimed to determine whether neonatal respiratory morbidity differs between Black and White late preterm infants.
