A tiny baby intubation team improves endotracheal intubation success rate but decreases residents' training opportunities.

Objective: To assess the educational and clinical impact of a tiny baby intubation team (TBIT).

Study Design: Retrospective study comparing endotracheal intubation (ETI) performed: pre-implementation of a TBIT (T1), 6 months post-implementation (T2), and 4 years post-implementation (T3).

Results: Post-implementation (T2), first-attempt success rate in tiny babies increased (44% T1; 59% T2, p = 0.

Techniques to Communicate Better With Parents During End-of-Life Scenarios in Neonatology.

Background And Objectives: Clinicians are urged to optimize communication with families, generally without empirical practical recommendations. The objective of this study was to identify core behaviors associated with good communication during and after an unsuccessful resuscitation, including parental perspectives.

Methods: Clinicians from different backgrounds participated in a standardized, videotaped, simulated neonatal resuscitation in the presence of parent actors.

Fluid restriction for treatment of preterm infants with chronic lung disease.

Background: Fluid restriction is often recommended as part of the management of infants with early or established bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD).

Objectives: To determine whether fluid restriction as part of the therapeutic intervention for early or established BPD improves clinical outcomes.

Search Methods: We used the standard search strategy of Cochrane Neonatal to search the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL; 2016, Issue 1) in the Cochrane Library (searched 16 February 2016), MEDLINE via PubMed (1966 to 16 February 2016), Embase (1980 to 16 February 2016), and CINAHL (1982 to 16 February 2016).

Nitric oxide for respiratory failure in infants born at or near term.

Background: Nitric oxide (NO) is a major endogenous regulator of vascular tone. Inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) gas has been investigated as treatment for persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn.

Objectives: To determine whether treatment of hypoxaemic term and near-term newborn infants with iNO improves oxygenation and reduces rate of death and use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), or affects long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes.
