Background: Penetrating cardiac trauma is an entity with high pre and intrahospital mortality due to complications such as cardiac tamponade and massive hemothorax. A ventricular septal defect (VSD) occurs in 1-5% of cases and can present early or late. The management strategy for VSD resulting from penetrating cardiac trauma is uncertain.

Background: Physiological-based cord clamping (PBCC) in preterm infants is beneficial for cardiovascular transition at birth and may optimize placental transfusion. Whether PBCC can improve clinical outcomes is unknown. The aim of the Aeration, Breathing, Clamping (ABC3) trial was to test whether PBCC results in improved intact survival in very preterm infants.

Background: The impact and/or significance of gasping or apnea on cardio-respiratory status at birth remains unclear.
Objectives: The study objectives were to determine in infants presenting with gasping or apnea in the delivery room, initial heart rate (HR), responses to positive pressure ventilation (PPV), time to onset of spontaneous respirations, and the relationship of these responses to 24-hour outcome (death/survival) METHODS: Observation study undertaken in a rural setting involving late preterm and term newborns who gasped (n=126) or were apneic (n=105) at birth and received PPV had HR and respiratory parameters continuously measured and were video recorded.
Results: Apneic (12.

It is not uncommon for a patient to experience hemodynamic instability following birth. This is due to the fact that the transitional period requires dramatic cardiorespiratory changes. When it goes well, improved lung compliance and successful transition to the postnatal circulation is seen.

Background: Discomfort can be the cause of noninvasive respiratory support (NRS) failure in up to 50% of treated patients. Several studies have shown how analgosedation during NRS can reduce the rate of delirium, endotracheal intubation, and hospital length of stay in patients with acute respiratory failure. The purpose of this project was to explore consensus on which medications are currently available as analgosedatives during NRS, which types of patients may benefit from analgosedation while on NRS, and which clinical settings might be appropriate for the implementation of analgosedation during NRS.
