Background: Delayed cord clamping (DCC) is practiced worldwide, as standard care in both term and preterm babies. Our aim was to determine the hemodynamic effects of DCC on transitional circulation.
Material And Methods: This prospective observational study was carried out in a tertiary care hospital, at Pune, India, from May 2018 to October 2019.
Objective: There has been an endeavor in recent years, to administer surfactant by minimally invasive techniques to neonates with surfactant deficiency. The objective of this study was to compare the need for intubation and mechanical ventilation after surfactant delivery, using Less Invasive Surfactant Administration (LISA) technique and Intubation SURfactant Extubation (InSurE), in preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS).
Methods: We conducted a pilot randomized control trial (RCT) at a tertiary care center over a period of 18 months.
Neonatal hyperbilirubinaemia is a very common entity witnessed in most of the newborns. Rarely are there events where the bilirubin levels reach extreme values mandating invasive therapy. Unconjugated hyperbilirubinaemia when solely present is easy to manage and diagnose the common aetiological factors associated with it.

None of the children developed hypersensitivity reaction. The CD4 count significantly improved from the time of enrolment till 12 months of therapy while the failure rate was 14.
