METHODS: We performed a prospective cohort diagnostic accuracy study between 2015
and 2016 in a tertiary-care academic center. Inborn neonates at≤ 30 weeks' gestation with …

Extremely preterm infants frequently require some form of respiratory assistance to facilitate
the cardiopulmonary transition that occurs in the first hours of life. Current resuscitation …

Routine use of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) to support preterm infants with
respiratory distress is an evidenced based strategy to decrease the incidence of …

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate surfactant production and function in term neonates with transient
tachypnea of the newborn (TTN). STUDY DESIGN: Samples of gastric aspirates collected …

The authors of this study developed the use of attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform
infrared spectroscopy (ATR–FTIR) combined with machine learning as a point-of-care (POC) …

Background Current criteria for surfactant administration assume that hypoxia is a direct
marker of lung-volume de-recruitment. We first introduced an early, non-invasive …

There is mounting evidence that early continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) from birth
is feasible and safe even in very preterm infants. However, many infants will develop …

Aim To evaluate the accuracy of our new rapid point‐of‐care (POC) test for lung maturity.
The method as we describe in an accompanying article was developed with the purpose of …

Objective The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of bedside lung ultrasound
(LUS) and LUS scores in the evaluating and grading of neonatal respiratory distress …

There is mounting evidence that early continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) from birth
