Cost of nitric oxide therapy in neonates.

A retrospective observational cohort study was performed to review the cost of inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) therapy in a UK neonatal intensive care setting over a 4-year period. 188 neonates with a median (IQR) gestational age and birth weight of 27 (24-37) weeks and 980 (695-2812) g, respectively, were treated with iNO. The median (IQR) duration of iNO therapy was 60 (22-129) hours.

Professionals' Practices and Views regarding Neonatal Postmortem: Can We Improve Consent Rates by Improving Training?

Background: In the UK, rates of neonatal postmortem (PM) are low. Consent for PM is required, and all parents should have the opportunity to discuss whether to have a post-mortem examination of their baby.

Objectives: We aimed to explore neonatal healthcare professionals' experiences, knowledge, and views regarding the consent process for post-mortem examination after neonatal death.
