Teleneonatal or routine resuscitation in extremely preterm infants: a randomized simulation trial.

Objective: Teleneonatology, the use of telemedicine for newborn resuscitation and care, can connect experienced care providers with high-risk deliveries. In a simulated resuscitation, we hypothesized that teleneonatal resuscitation, compared to usual resuscitation, would reduce the no-flow fraction.

Study Design: This was a single-center, randomized simulation trial in which pediatric residents were randomized to teleneonatal or routine resuscitation.

Health Insurance and Differences in Infant Mortality Rates in the US.

Importance: Health insurance status is associated with differences in access to health care and health outcomes. Therefore, maternal health insurance type may be associated with differences in infant outcomes in the US.

Objective: To determine whether, among infants born in the US, maternal private insurance compared with public Medicaid insurance is associated with a lower infant mortality rate (IMR).
