Background: The establishment of an epidemiological overview provides valuable insights needed for the (future) dissemination of infection-prevention initiatives.
Aim: To describe the nationwide epidemiology of central-line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) among Dutch Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs).
Methods: Data from 2935 neonates born at <32 weeks' gestation and/or with a birth weight <1500 g admitted to all nine Dutch NICUs over a two-year surveillance period (2019-2020) were analysed.
Maintaining an optimal acid base is important for the patient. The theory underlying acid-base balance can be challenging for clinicians and educators. These considerations justify creating simulations that include realistic changes to the partial pressure of carbon dioxide, pH, and bicarbonate ion concentration in a range of conditions.

- The maternal cardiovascular system adapts during pregnancy to support the fetus, but improper adjustments can lead to hypertension.
- A new mathematical model for renal autoregulation was developed to integrate with existing cardiovascular models for better understanding of pregnancy-related circulatory changes.
- The model successfully matched empirical data, demonstrating the accuracy of autoregulatory responses; future research should add more regulatory aspects to explore hemodynamic changes during pregnancy complications.
Introduction: The Newborn Life Support (NLS) guideline aims to provide healthcare professionals a consistent approach during neonatal resuscitation. Adherence to this and analogous guidelines has repetitively been proven to be difficult.This study evaluates adherence to guideline using a novel augmented reality (Microsoft HoloLens) electronic decision support tool during standardized simulated neonatal resuscitation compared with subjects working from memory alone.
