Point-of-care lung ultrasound (LUS) is increasingly applied in the neonatal intensive care
unit (NICU). Diagnostic applications for LUS in the NICU contain the diagnosis of many …

Objective To systematically review: 1) peri-extubation settings; and 2) association between
peri-extubation settings and outcomes in preterm neonates. Study Design In this systematic …

Objective Chest ultrasound has emerged as a promising tool in predicting extubation
readiness in adults and children, yet its utility in preterm infants is lacking. Our aim was to …

Objective To describe the timing of first extubation in extremely preterm infants and explore
the relationship between age at first extubation, extubation outcome, and death or …

Background In premature infants, extubation failure is common and difficult to predict. Heart
rate variability (HRV) is a marker of autonomic tone. Our aim is to test the hypothesis that …

Background Very preterm infants often require mechanical ventilation. However, objective
criteria to predict the outcomes of extubation in very premature neonates remain lacking …

Objective To explore the association between time from first extubation to reintubation and
moderate-to-severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) or death in very low birth weight …

Objective This study aimed to evaluate whether the initial pressure level on high continuous
positive airway pressure (CPAP;≥ 9 cm H 2 O), in relation to preextubation mean airway …

Mechanical ventilation (MV) is crucial for the survival of nearly all extremely premature (EP)
infants born before 26 weeks of gestational age (GA). However, prolonged MV can lead to …
