Article Synopsis
- Pneumothorax is a significant complication for very preterm infants (under 32 weeks), with a 4.1% incidence rate observed from 1995 to 2019, which decreases with higher gestational age.
- Infants with pneumothorax showed increased rates of severe intraventricular hemorrhage, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, and higher mortality rates, indicating severe health risks associated with this condition.
- Despite overall improvements in the survival rates of very preterm infants, the mortality linked to pneumothorax has not decreased, highlighting the need for better prevention and early detection strategies.
Introduction: Neonatal units are one of the hospital areas most exposed to the committing of treatment errors.

The aim of this paper is to present the incidence of ME (including feeding) reported in our neonatal unit and its characteristics and possible causal factors.

Material And Methods: An analysis is performed on the six years of experience of the Committee on the Safety of Neonatal Patient. A mailbox was created for the declaration of adverse events, and measures for their correction were devised, such as case studies, continuous education, prevention of nosocomial infections, as well as information on the work done and its assessment.
