The transition to life after birth is characterized by major physiological changes in respiratory
and hemodynamic function, which are predominantly initiated by breathing at birth and …

The newborn's transition from fetal to neonatal life includes aeration of the lungs,
establishment of pulmonary gas exchange and changing the fetal circulation into the adult …

Aim To determine whether the use of a respiratory function monitor (RFM) during PPV of
extremely preterm infants at birth, compared with no RFM, leads to an increase in …

Rationale: The transition to air breathing at birth is a seminal respiratory event common to all
humans, but the intrathoracic processes remain poorly understood. Objectives: The …

Objective Umbilical cord milking (UCM) at birth may benefit preterm infants, but the
physiological effects of UCM are unknown. We compared the physiological effects of two …

Objective Lung ultrasound (LUS) has shown promise as a diagnostic tool for the evaluation
of the newborn with respiratory distress. No study has described LUS during …

Introduction Over five percent of infants born worldwide will need help breathing after birth.
Delayed cord clamping (DCC) has become the standard of care for vigorous infants. DCC in …

Lung aeration is the critical first step that triggers the transition from fetal to postnatal
cardiopulmonary physiology after birth. When an infant is apneic or does not breathe …

The transition to newborn life critically depends upon lung aeration and the onset of air-
breathing, which triggers major cardiovascular changes required for postnatal life, including …

Neonatal resuscitation is one of the most frequently performed procedures, and it is often
successful if the ventilation applied is adequate. Over the last decade, interest in seeking …
