New study by Glenda McLean shows cranial ultrasound at TEA significantly improved the detection of potential brain injuries compared with 6 wk PNA imaging.

Larger studies required.

Does Routine Intensive Care Provision at 22–23 Weeks’ Gestation Improve Outcomes of Infants Born between 24 and 27 Weeks?

Difference is probably in practices in JAPAN Nicu, but nice collaboration on comparative study with @nambaf1107.bsky.social

A world-first trial has shown that using a nasal mask instead of a traditional face mask to support very #Premature #Babies at #Birth can greatly reduce the need for rescue breathing and intensive care. 😮‍💨 🚼

FONDUE trial led by Doug Blank out in @lancetchildadol.bsky.social

In very preterm infants, compared with fCPAP, initial use of nCPAP at birth was more likely to result in CPAP success, avoiding need for PPV.

More isn’t always better!

Adding systemic hydrocortisone to intrapulmonary budesonide in preterm ventilation didn’t boost lung outcomes—in fact, it blunted the benefits & triggered early brain inflammation
