BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Mechanical ventilation via an endotracheal tube is a risk
factor for bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), one of the most common morbidities of very …

Objectives: Hypocapnia is used in the management of acute brain injury and may be life-
saving in specific circumstances, but it can produce neuronal ischemia and injury, potentially …

Germinal matrix–intraventricular hemorrhage (GMH-IVH) is the most common variety of
neonatal intracranial hemorrhage and is characteristic of the premature infant. This form of …

Covering the evaluation and management of every key disease and condition affecting
newborns, Avery's Diseases of the Newborn, by Drs. Christine A. Gleason and Sandra E …

Objective To investigate whether changes in cardiac function and cerebral blood flow (CBF)
precede the occurrence of peri/intraventricular hemorrhage (P/IVH) in extremely preterm …

Germinal matrix hemorrhage and intraventricular hemorrhages (GMH-IVH) remain a
common and clinically significant problem in preterm infants, particularly extremely preterm …

Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is a noninvasive form of respiratory
assistance that has been used to support spontaneously breathing infants with lung disease …

Cerebral oxygenation is not always reflected by systemic arterial oxygenation. Therefore,
regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rScO2) monitoring with near-infrared spectroscopy …

The survival of preterm infants has steadily improved thanks to advances in perinatal and
neonatal intensive clinical care. The focus is now on finding ways to improve morbidities …

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a noninvasive technique that monitors regional tissue
oxygenation reflecting perfusion status. Near-infrared spectroscopy has the ability to …
