Background: Atelectasis is a decrease of lung volume caused by airway obstruction or pressure on the external part of the lung. It is common after surgery and extubation. The purpose of this investigation was to determine factors related with alectasis following extubation in preterm neonates with a weight under 1250 g who were referred to a neonatal intensive care unit.

- The study aimed to assess the prevalence, causes, and mortality rates of nosocomial infections (NIs) in newborns at a tertiary-care hospital over a three-year period.
- Approximately 30.4% of newborns admitted experienced NIs, with Gram-positive bacteria like coagulase-negative staphylococci being the most frequently isolated microorganisms.
- The findings highlight the need for increased awareness and intervention strategies to address the high rates and varying characteristics of NIs in neonatal care.
Objective: To determine the variability of the vital signs (temperature, heart rate and respiratory frequency), skin coloration and peripheral oxygen saturation in critically ill preterm newborns (CI PTNB) before, during and after sponge bathing as well as to determine the possible presence of secondary complications of this procedure.
Material And Methods: We performed a quasi-experimental study (experimental, prospective, comparative and clinical study with intervention) May to December 2008, in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. We included CI PTNB of 0 to 28 days of extrauterine life who have practiced in the routine sponge bathing.
Introduction: The mechanical ventilator support (MVS) it is a procedure which improves survival of critically ill newborns (NB), but is not risk free one of them is tracheal damage reintubations by extubation failure. Knowledge that there is the medical literature is about preterm infant and there is not information about term NB.
Objective: To establish that factors are associated to the unsuccessful extubation in the term NB from 37 to 42 weeks of gestational age.
