Article Synopsis
  • Less invasive surfactant administration (LISA) using video-laryngoscopy (VL) shows improved outcomes in premature infants compared to traditional InSurE methods.
  • A study comparing 67 infants receiving VL-assisted LISA to 52 receiving InSurE found shorter non-invasive ventilation times, lower oxygen therapy duration, and fewer overall hospital costs in the VL group.
  • The results suggest that VL-assisted LISA is not only safer with a high success rate in tracheal catheter placement but also leads to better resource efficiency in neonatal care for infants ≥29 weeks gestational age.

Children with sickle cell disease (SCD) often suffer from growth deficits and impaired immunity. However, the association between mild to moderate malnutrition and in vitro lymphocyte function has not been well studied. The goal of this study was to investigate the effects of undernutrition on lymphocyte functions in children with SCD.

Introduction: Reliable predictors of extubation readiness are needed and may reduce morbidity related to extubation failure. We aimed to examine the relationship between changes in pre-extubation near-infrared spectroscopy measurements from baseline and extubation outcomes after neonatal cardiac surgery.

Materials And Methods: In this retrospective cross-sectional multi-centre study, a secondary analysis of prospectively collected data from neonates who underwent cardiac surgery at seven tertiary-care children's hospitals in 2015 was performed.
