Background Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is the result of a complex process in which
several prenatal and/or postnatal factors interfere with lower respiratory tract development …

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is the most common chronic lung disease in infants and
is associated with increased mortality, respiratory morbidity, neurodevelopmental …

Despite recent advances in the perinatal management of neonatal respiratory distress
syndrome (RDS), controversies still exist. We report the updated recommendations of a …

Abstract “Golden Hour” of neonatal life is defined as the first hour of post-natal life in both
preterm and term neonates. This concept in neonatology has been adopted from adult …

Background: Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is associated with perinatal inflammatory
triggers. Methods targeting bacterial rRNA may improve detection of microbial colonization …

Background While survival rates of extremely preterm infants have improved over the last
decades, the incidence of neurodevelopmental disability (ND) in survivors remains high …

There is no consensus on the optimal pCO2 levels in the newborn. We reviewed the effects
of hypercapnia and hypocapnia and existing carbon dioxide thresholds in neonates. A …

Background Tolerating higher partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO 2) in mechanically
ventilated, extremely low birthweight infants might reduce ventilator-induced lung injury and …

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 …

This review article focuses on neonatal respiratory physiology, mechanical ventilation of the
neonate and changes induced by anesthesia and surgery. Optimal ventilation techniques for …
