Background: Various painful therapeutic and diagnostic procedures are performed daily for hospitalized infants. These procedures are very effective in their growth and recovery process. This study was conducted to determine "the frequency and pain intensity of painful procedures in premature infants hospitalized in NICU.

Background: The Neonatal Resuscitation Program recommends direct laryngoscopy (DL) as the primary method for neonatal intubation. Video laryngoscopy (VL) is suggested as an option, particularly for training novice operators or for intubating infants with difficult airways. The programme outlines specific steps for intubation, including managing the external environment and techniques for visualising key anatomical landmarks.

Background And Objectives: Advanced neonatal resuscitation interventions (ANRIs) are rarely performed for late preterm and term infants. However, healthcare providers in community hospitals may need to perform ANRIs, while having limited experience and resources. Understanding practice differences between hospitals of different levels of service (LoS) and rural/urban location may inform quality improvement.

Background: Endotracheal intubation (ETI) is a life-saving procedure that must be accurately carried on to guard against complications. Presbyopia leads to difficulty in viewing close objects and may obstacle proper intubation even with the best hands.
Purpose: This study supposed that the use of video-laryngoscope (VL) may provide better intubation conditions for presbyopic anesthetists and targets to evaluate the neonates and infants' intubation success rates (ISR) by anesthetists aged ≥ 45 years using the C-MAC VL compared to the standard laryngoscope (SL).

Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is a form of respiratory support provided primarily to preterm born infants in an effort to avoid any endotracheal intubation or as a weaning step following invasive ventilation. In the context of the respiratory distress syndrome of the newborn, NIV could target and partially reverse specific pathophysiological phenomena, by improving alveolar recruitment and establishing adequate functional residual capacity. It can also assist in minimizing lung injury by avoiding excessive pressure delivery, which can be harmful for the developing lung.
