Pneumothorax in the newborn: clinical presentation, risk factors and outcomes.
J Matern Fetal Neonatal Med
March 2014
Department of Neonatology, The George Washington University and the Children's National Medical Center, Washington, DC , USA.
Objective: We aimed to compare clinical presentation and risk factors associated with the development of pneumothorax among newborns of different birth weight (BW) categories.
Methods: We collected clinical and respiratory data on all newborns diagnosed with pneumothorax over a 10-year period. Infants were classified into two groups with BW ≥ 2500 g and <2500 g.
Is mechanical ventilation associated with intraventricular hemorrhage in preterm infants?
Brain Dev
March 2012
Department of Newborn Services, The George Washington University and the Children's National Medical Center, Washington, DC, United States.
Background: The impact of mechanical ventilation on the incidence of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in very low birth weight (VLBW) infants is unknown, simply because the vast majority of these infants have been routinely intubated and mechanically ventilated. There is a growing interest in the use of early nasal continuous positive airway pressure (ENCPAP) and avoiding mechanical ventilation.
Objectives: To examine the role of mechanical ventilation since delivery room in determining severe IVH in VLBW infants in two neonatal units that follow the same strategy of respiratory management using ENCPAP.
