Preterm neonates present unique challenges to the anesthesiologist due to their immature physiology and anatomy. Many preterm neonates are critically ill and can develop necrotizing enterocolitis, respiratory distress syndrome, intra ventricular hemorrhage, and heart failure or retinopathy of prematurity. Anesthesiologists play a vital role in the management of preterm neonates requiring surgical interventions, by integrating their knowledge of the developmental physiology and pharmacology. The successful conduct of anesthesia in premature neonates requires an understanding of the basic principles of neonatal care.

Therapeutic hypothermia in preterm infants under 36 weeks: Case series on outcomes and brain MRI findings.

Purpose: Perinatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a significant cause of neonatal brain injury. Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) is the standard treatment for term neonates, but its safety and efficacy in neonates < 36 weeks gestational age (GA) remains unclear. This case series aimed to evaluate the outcomes of preterm infants with HIE treated with TH.

The General Movement Assessment (GMA) is a validated evaluation of brain maturation essential to shaping early individual developmental trajectories of preterm infants. To ensure a reliable GMA, preterm infants should be recorded for 30 to 60 min before manually selecting at least three sequences with general movements. This time-consuming task of manually selecting short video sequences from lengthy recordings impedes its implementation within the Neonatal Unit.

Low iron stores at birth may adversely influence child cognitive and motor development. The aims of this study were to assess cord blood iron levels and explore maternal and neonatal factors associated with iron status. Cord blood specimens (=46) were obtained from the BC Children's Hospital BioBank in Vancouver, Canada.

Background: The increasing rate of cesarean delivery (CD) is a significant concern in many societies worldwide. Vaginal delivery (VD) is preferred over CD for subsequent pregnancies after successful VD, for women with no specific obstetrical indications, primarily because of concerns about potential complications arising from the surgical procedure. However, the factors that influence the decision of requesting a CD have not yet been thoroughly investigated.

Purpose: Retroverted uterus affects 15-20% of patients. While typically not a cause for concern, some studies suggest a relationship between a retroverted uterus and subfertility. Study objective was to investigate the association between uterine position and spontaneous conception rates, as well as potential risks for adverse pregnancy outcomes in nulliparous patients.
