Effect of in-hospital training on medical errors made by teams during neonatal resuscitation.

Background: Neonatal resuscitation is one of the most critical and risky events that requires a high level of individual skill and team performance.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of training of resuscitation teams on the frequency and type of medical errors (ME) that result from neonatal resuscitation.

Methods: A prospective observational study was performed using a checklist to detect ME related to neonatal resuscitation.

The role of nod-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome in diagnosis of late onset neonatal sepsis.

Background: Neonatal sepsis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality among neonates. Nod-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is a core element for innate immune protection. The study aims to estimate the expression of NLRP3 inflammasome in full term newborn infants who suffer from late onset sepsis, in order to assess its diagnostic value.

Role of Serum Apelin in the Diagnosis of Early-Onset Neonatal Sepsis.

Objective: Apelin is a proinflammatory adipocyte-derived factor. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role and significance of serum apelin as a new sepsis marker in the identification of full-term and preterm new-born infants with early-onset sepsis.

Material And Methods: This was a case-control study.

Egyptian Neonatal Safety Training Network: a dream to improve patient safety culture in Egyptian neonatal intensive care units.

Background: Patient safety is fundamental to upholding the quality of health care. Health-care workers in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) face daily challenges to sustain safe care for their patients and to counteract medical errors.

Aims: The objectives were to develop the Egyptian Neonatal Safety Training Network (ENSTN) to promote safe health care practices in NICUs through training of Health-care workers on PtS and dissemination of a culture for patient safety.
