Objectives: The aim of the study was to evaluate neuronal injury and immuno-inflammatory biomarkers in umbilical cord blood (UCB) at birth, in cases with perinatal asphyxia with or without hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), compared with healthy controls and to assess their ability to predict HIE.
Study Design: In this case-control study, term infants with perinatal asphyxia were recruited at birth. UCB was stored at delivery for batch analysis.
Objective: Smartphones are widely used by physicians, but their effectiveness in improving teaching of clinical skills is not known. The aim of this study was to determine if pre procedural use of a smartphone neonatal intubation instructional application (NeoTube) improves trainee knowledge and enhances procedural skills performance in newborn intubation.
Design: Neonatal Resuscitation Program certified trainees in paediatrics and neonatology completed a knowledge based questionnaire on neonatal intubation, and were recorded intubating a term newborn manikin model.
