Twenty four preterm infants (< 27 weeks gestation) were randomised to resuscitation with an anaesthetic rebreathing circuit or a ventilator with volume guarantee. There was no difference in weight or gestation between the groups. End expiratory pressures were higher and less variable with the ventilator. This pilot study shows that very preterm infants can be safely and effectively resuscitated using a ventilator.

Suckling Rat Pup Model: Do Caprine Milk Lactoferrin and Immunoglobulins Have Different Digestion and Absorption Properties from That of Human and Bovine Species?

This study aimed to investigate the digestion and absorption properties of caprine milk serum proteins in comparison to human and bovine species by using rat pups to mimic preterm infants. The results indicate that caprine lactoferrin (LTF) had a shorter retention time in the intestine and released a greater number of fragments, resembling human milk LTF more closely. In contrast, caprine immunoglobulins (Igs) were similar to bovine Igs and both exhibited a longer retention time in the intestine.

Objective: To systematically evaluate the effect of cue-based feeding (CBF) on feeding outcomes in preterm infants.
Methods: Databases including CNKI, Wanfang, PubMed, Embase, CINAHL and Cochrane Library were searched from the database's inception to November 2023. The literature screening and quality assessment were conducted by two researchers independently, and a meta-analysis was performed using Review Manager (RevMan) 5.
Extreme Prematurity: A Case Report on the Importance of Multidisciplinary Consultations Before and After Maternity Ward Discharge.

Pediatrics, Carol Davila University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Bucharest, ROU.
Extreme prematurity involves a series of complications that a multidisciplinary team should manage. Taking into account the risks related to premature newborns, such as maternal-fetal infections, intrauterine growth restriction, and certain comorbidities associated with young gestational age, our objective is to highlight the importance of a multidisciplinary team in approaching cases with an unfavorable prognosis. This is a case report of an extremely preterm newborn who came from a high-risk pregnancy and needed long-term hospitalization in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and mechanical ventilation.

Background: Extremely preterm infants (EPIs) often require advanced respiratory support to survive, and one such intervention is the heated, humidified, high-flow nasal cannula (HHHFNC). While the use of this cannula in EPIs has been studied, the relationship between its use and the length of hospital stay is an important yet unexplored research area that we aim to investigate in this study.
Methods: In a quantitative retrospective cohort study, data were extracted from an electronic database.
Severe Neonatal Asphyxia Associated with Ureaplasma urealyticum Infection: A Case Report.

BACKGROUND Ureaplasma urealyticum (UU) is a common microorganism that has been associated with a variety of obstetric and neonatal complications, such as infertility, stillbirth, histologic chorioamnionitis, neonatal sepsis, respiratory infections, and central nervous system infections. However, it is rare for it to cause severe neonatal asphyxia. This rarity is the focus of our case report, which aims to highlight the potential severity of UU infections in newborns.
