Objective: This study reports on patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) therapy trends across the Children's Hospital Neonatal Consortium.

Study Design: We performed a 12-year (2011-2022) retrospective study of premature infants (< 33 weeks) with a PDA. We utilized descriptive statistics to compare demographic, inpatient, and discharge characteristics in 3-year epochs.

Objective: Characterize the impact of milrinone on arterial pressure of neonates with persistent hypoxemic respiratory failure (HRF) and hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) treated with inhaled nitric oxide and therapeutic hypothermia (TH).

Study Design: Retrospective cohort study. Arterial pressure was assessed hourly for 24 h.

Opioids are potent analgesics used to manage pain in both young and old, but the increased use in the pregnant population has significant individual and societal implications. Infants dependent on opioids, either through maternal or iatrogenic exposure, undergo neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome (NOWS), where they may experience withdrawal symptoms ranging from mild to severe. We present a detailed and original review of NOWS caused by maternal opioid exposure (mNOWS) and iatrogenic opioid intake (iNOWS).

Glucose is the primary substrate for energy metabolism in the brain and although the brain is dependent on a constant glucose supply for normal function, both local energy stores and the supply of alternate substrates are limited. In utero, the placenta provides a continuous supply of glucose to the fetus while transition to extrauterine life marks an abrupt change in substrate delivery and a major change in glucose metabolism where insufficiencies and disruptions can occur. Hypoglycemia is one of the most common biochemical disturbances in the neonatal period, affecting a wide range of neonates.

Article Synopsis
  • Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) can impact various systems in newborns, including neurological, renal, cardiac, hepatic, and hematologic functions, leading to both short-term and long-term effects.
  • The condition, along with treatment methods like therapeutic hypothermia, can cause instability in blood flow and pressure, necessitating careful management of these infants.
  • The article delves into the causes of hemodynamic instability following perinatal asphyxia, outlines recognition of hemodynamic issues, and discusses management approaches to enhance blood circulation and improve health outcomes for affected newborns.

Purpose: The National Consensus Project (NCP) published a set of standards for quality palliative care delivery. A key step before applying these guidelines to pediatric oncology is to evaluate how much families and clinicians value these standards. We aimed to determine which elements of palliative care are considered important according to bereaved parents and pediatric oncology clinicians and to determine accessibility of these elements.
