Frequent early-life apnoeas and periodic breathing may contribute to differences in neurodevelopmental outcomes between healthy moderate-late preterm and term infants.
This recently published cohort study analysed temporal trends in oximetry indices. Results showed increased intermittent hypoxaemia frequency and severity in moderate-late preterm infants (born between 32+0 weeks and 36+6 weeks) compared with term infants during the first five postnatal weeks. Despite comparable mean oxygen saturations, moderate-late preterm infants’ more frequent and severe desaturations suggest an under-recognition of respiratory instability if relying solely on mean saturations.

ALT Box and Whisker plots comparing (A) mean saturations, (B) mean nadir SpO2>3%, (C) ODI3, (D) ODI4, and (E) ODI10 across weeks and between groups. ‘Boxes’ show the 25th centile and 75th centile for each measure, and ‘Whisker(s)’ show no more than 1.5 times the IQR from the box edges with outliers indicated by an ‘x’. GA, gestational age; MLPT, moderate-late preterm; ODI, Oxygen Desaturation Index; SpO2, mean peripheral oxygen saturation.

Comparison of functional features and user experience with different types of video laryngoscopes when used on neonatal manikins...
No single device is likely to be perfect for all clinical scenarios. The key to successful implementation lies in selecting a suitable device and investing in ongoing training. This study provides valuable insights to support purchasing decisions, highlights practical user experience and offers constructive feedback that can inform future improvements in device design by manufacturers.

ALT Physical measurements of neonatal video laryngoscope blades (size 0). Shown are C-MAC, GlideScope, InfantView and NeoView and a conventional Miller blade. All blades assessed were straight, Miller-type neonatal blades. Measurements included: (A) working blade length measured from the mounting point; (B) blade angle (degrees); (C) distance from camera to distal blade tip; (D) full blade length and (E) blade width. All measurements were recorded in millimetres unless otherwise stated.

Connection study published. Probiotics associated with a reduction in mortality (6.2% vs 8.3%, p = 0.036).
But is this any safer (or more effective) than other products already in use in many countries with robust effectiveness data? #neotwitter #neoEBM
