INSIGHT

Safe Cooling for Late Preterms

  • Therapeutic hypothermia appears safe for preterm infants at 34-35 weeks gestation based on short-term outcomes.
  • This suggests potential for expanding cooling protocols, though long-term benefits require further study.

New Device Improves Neonatal Ventilation

  • A new inline respiratory function monitor (Juno) reduces mask leak and improves ventilation quality in neonatal resuscitation training.
  • This simple feedback device offers significant benefits even for experienced neonatal staff, with potential life-saving impacts in clinical settings.
INSIGHT

Rectal vs. Esophageal Cooling Monitoring

  • Rectal temperature monitoring during whole-body hypothermia results in less overcooling and fewer cardiovascular complications than esophageal monitoring.
  • Despite these differences, long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes appear similar between the two monitoring sites.
