Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to determine if using a continuous non-invasive pCO monitor in extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants during their first week of life could reduce rates of severe brain injuries (IVH or PVL) and related mortality.
  • A total of 132 ELBW infants were observed, divided into a study group monitored by the TCpCO and a smaller control group due to monitor availability, showing no significant difference in rates of IVH/PVL or combined outcomes between the two groups.
  • The research highlighted difficulties in conducting controlled trials in fast-evolving medical practices, as changes in standard care complicated the study's findings and limited the ability to make strong conclusions.

Aim: To investigate the correlation between transcutaneous bilirubinometry (TcB) and total serum bilirubin (TsB) in jaundiced infants before and after, but not during phototherapy.

Methods: This study prospectively investigated the correlation between TcB and TsB in term and near term infants before and after phototherapy.

Results: Overall 673 pairs of measurements (TcB and TsB) were performed on 371 infants of ≥35 weeks gestation and with birth weight above 2000 g.

Aim: Guidelines for detection of early neonatal sepsis employ a risk factor approach combined with laboratory parameters. In an era of increasing intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis (IAP), we re-assessed the approach as a whole and each of the risk factors individually.

Method: This retrospective study included infants with risk factors for sepsis or those treated with antibiotics or who had documented early sepsis.
