Finding treasure in the journey: a single center quality improvement bundle to reduce bronchopulmonary dysplasia.

Background: Reducing bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) utilizing a single intervention has been challenging. The quality improvement (QI) bundle approach may better address BPD multifactorial risk factors.

Methods: A single-center interdisciplinary quality improvement (QI) initiative to enhance respiratory care for preterm infants born less than 30 weeks gestation.

A Case of an Extremely Low Birth Weight Infant with Bacteremia and Peritonitis.

We describe a case of late onset sepsis in an extremely low birth weight male neonate born at 23 and 4/7 weeks gestational age to a 30-year-old primigravid mother due to preterm labor. The mother was otherwise healthy with an unremarkable prenatal course. She received steroids and ampicillin prior to delivery.
