Lung function has never been assessed during kangaroo mother care (KMC) in preterm
infants. We measured lung (rSO2L) and cerebral (rSO2C) oxygenation by near-infrared …

The use of lung ultrasound (LU) and targeted neonatal echocardiography (TNE), performed
by trained neonatologists as part of routine clinical care, has become a standard in some …

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a chronic lung disease, associated with premature
birth, that arises during the infantile period. In 1967, Northway and colleagues 1 first …

Objective Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is the most common late morbidity for
premature infants. Continuous neuromuscular blockade (CNMB) is suggested for the most …

Introduction It has recently been reported that it is possible to monitor lung oxygenation
(rSO2L) by near‐infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in preterm infants with respiratory distress …

Objective To elucidate the characteristics of lymphocyte subsets in bronchopulmonary
dysplasia (BPD) diagnosis following Jensen's criterion to understand the spectrum of …

Very preterm birth (< 32 weeks of gestation) is associated with an increased risk of
respiratory symptoms, hospital admissions, and reduced lung function in childhood and …

Approximately 10% of all children worldwide are born preterm and respiratory
consequences are amongst the most common sequelae of preterm birth. Except for a higher …

Background Echocardiography has poor accuracy in grading the severity of pulmonary
hypertension (PH) compared to cardiac catheterization. However, the relationship between …

Rationale Pulmonary hypertension associated with bronchopulmonary dysplasia is a severe
complication of preterm birth resulting in high mortality of up to 50% within the first 2 years of …
