Endotracheal Tube Size Adjustments Within Seven Days of Neonatal Intubation.

Background And Objectives: Neonatal endotracheal tube (ETT) size recommendations are based on limited evidence. We sought to determine data-driven weight-based ETT sizes for infants undergoing tracheal intubation and to compare these with Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) recommendations.

Methods: Retrospective multicenter cohort study from an international airway registry.

Association of full premedication on tracheal intubation outcomes in the neonatal intensive care unit: an observational cohort study.

Objective: Evaluate the association of short-term tracheal intubation (TI) outcomes with premedication in the NICU.

Study Design: Observational single-center cohort study comparing TIs with full premedication (opiate analgesia and vagolytic and paralytic), partial premedication, and no premedication. The primary outcome is adverse TI associated events (TIAEs) in intubations with full premedication compared to those with partial or no premedication.

Impact of multiple intubation attempts on adverse tracheal intubation associated events in neonates: a report from the NEAR4NEOS.

Objective: To determine the relationship between number of attempts and adverse events during neonatal intubation.

Study Design: A retrospective study of prospectively collected data of intubations in the delivery room and NICU from the National Emergency Airway Registry for Neonates (NEAR4NEOS) in 17 academic centers from 1/2016 to 12/2019. We examined the association between tracheal intubation attempts [1, 2, and ≥3 (multiple attempts)] and clinical adverse outcomes (any tracheal intubation associated events (TIAE), severe TIAE, and severe oxygen desaturation).

Associations of Stylet Use during Neonatal Intubation with Intubation Success, Adverse Events, and Severe Desaturation: A Report from NEAR4NEOS.

Introduction: Intubations are frequently performed procedures in neonatal intensive care units (NICU) and delivery rooms (DR). Unsuccessful first attempts are common as are tracheal intubation-associated events (TIAEs) and severe desaturations. Stylets are often used during intubation, but their association with intubation outcomes is unclear.

Associations between family presence and neonatal intubation outcomes: a report from the National Emergency Airway Registry for Neonates: NEAR4NEOS.

Objective: Describe the current practice of family presence during neonatal tracheal intubations (TIs) across neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) and examine the association with outcomes.

Design: Retrospective analysis of TIs performed in NICUs participating in the National Emergency Airway Registry for Neonates (NEAR4NEOS).

Setting: Thirteen academic NICUs.

CHRNB1-associated congenital myasthenia syndrome: Expanding the clinical spectrum.

CHRNB1 encodes the β subunit of the acetylcholine receptor (AChR) at the neuromuscular junction. Inherited defects in the neuromuscular junction can lead to congenital myasthenia syndrome (CMS), a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of disorders which includes fetal akinesia deformation sequence (FADS) on the severe end of the spectrum. Here, we report two unrelated families with biallelic CHRNB1 variants, and in each family, one child presented with lethal FADS.

Interprofessional ECMO telerounding: a novel approach to neonatal ECMO clinical participation and education.

Objective: Determine the feasibility, strengths, and barriers of offering extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) telerounding to neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) care providers.

Study Design: NICU providers were invited to join ECMO rounds by teleconference. Data were collected on telerounding participation and ECMO concepts discussed.
