Non-invasive ventilatory support (NIV) is considered the gold standard in the care of preterm
infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). NIV from birth is superior to mechanical …

Lung immaturity and acute respiratory failure are the major problems in the care of extremely
preterm infants. Most infants with gestational age (GA) 22–24 weeks will need mechanical …

Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) care pathways evolve slowly as new evidence
emerges. We report the sixth version of “European Guidelines for the Management of RDS” …

Importance Preterm newborns at risk of respiratory distress syndrome are supported with
continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). Many newborns worsen despite CPAP and are …

Rationale Lung recruitment and continuous distending pressure (CDP) titration are critical
for assuring the efficacy of high-frequency ventilation (HFOV) in preterm infants. The …

Opportunities to learn and maintain competence in neonatal intubation have decreased. As
many clinicians providing care to the newborn infant are not skilled in intubation, alternative …

Background Most preterm infants breathe spontaneously at birth. Despite this, the majority
have a face mask immediately applied for breathing support. Face mask application may …

Background Providing appropriate care at birth remains a crucial strategy for reducing
neonatal mortality and morbidity. We aimed to evaluate the consistency of practice and the …

Survival rates for extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants have improved over the recent
years, yet morbidity remains high. This review explores respiratory management strategies …

Aim To describe the effect of resuscitation with bubble CPAP (bCPAP) versus T‐piece
device at birth on early clinical parameters and hospital outcomes in infants born< 32 weeks …
