Gasping in Dying Children: Health Care Professionals' Feelings and Knowledge.

To assess the feelings and knowledge of health care professionals (HCPs) about gasping in dying patients in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) and pediatric intensive care units (PICUs). A 9-item questionnaire addressed to 488 HCPs (physicians, nurses, and nursing assistants) of 2 NICUs and 2 PICUs. Questions were about HCPs' feelings when confronted with gasping, their knowledge, and their opinions on what to tell family members.

[Corneal donation and anticipatory care in palliative care].

Until now, the early approach of palliative care patients for corneal harvesting has been unheard of in France. At the Centre Hospitalier Intercommunal de Villeneuve-Saint-Georges Lucie-et-Raymond-Aubrac, in the Val-de-Marne region of France, we offer a rigorous and respectful procedure and organization for patients who have been carefully selected for an early approach to donation.

[Teaming up for resuscitation on the Covid-19 front].

The first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in France severely tested the healthcare system and its teams from the first weeks of 2020. With two years of hindsight, healthcare professionals have learned a great deal from this health crisis which, despite vaccination, maintains pressure on social activities and on the daily lives of caregivers. Looking back to the early days of this crisis, a nurse and her former trainer report on the spontaneous collaborations deployed to reinforce the resuscitation teams.

Prematurity alters skin conductance and behavioural scoring after acute stress in term-equivalent age infants.

Aim: The primary objective was to assess the effect of prematurity at term-equivalent age on skin conductance and behavioural responses to acute stress. The secondary objective was to explore the reliability of skin conductance in detecting neonatal discomfort in preterm and full-term populations.

Methods: Very preterm infants at term-equivalent age and healthy full-term neonates, 34 infants in each group, underwent the hip dysplasia screening test.
