Acupuncture in the neonatal intensive care unit-using ancient medicine to help today's babies: a
The first publication form the MAGNIFIC- Project (MAGNIFIC - Magnetic Non-Invasive Acupuncture For Infant Comfort) Acupuncture has been used for thousands of years in Eastern medicine for a variety of conditions and illnesses, including pain. Neonatal intensive care, on the other hand, is a relatively new branch of medicine that has emerged as the pivotal influence in increasing survival of critically ill newborn infants only within the last 50 years. Unfortunately, pain is a
A Novel Prototype Neonatal Resuscitator That Controls Tidal Volume and Ventilation Rate: A Comparati
The objective of this randomized controlled manikin trial was to examine tidal volume (VT) delivery and ventilation rate during mask positive pressure ventilation (PPV) with five different devices, including a volume-controlled prototype Next Step™ device for neonatal resuscitation. We hypothesized that VT and rate would be closest to target with the Next Step™. Twenty-five Neonatal Resuscitation Program providers provided mask PPV to a newborn manikin (simulated weight 1 kg)
Oxygen Saturation and Heart Rate Ranges in Very Preterm Infants Requiring Respiratory Support at Bir
One of our Summer students published there 2nd original manuscript in JPeds: Phillipos E, Solevåg AL, Aziz K, van Os S, Pichler G, O'Reilly M, Cheung PY, Schmölzer GM. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the changes in preductal oxygen saturation (SpO2) and heart rate in preterm infants receiving continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and/or positive-pressure ventilation (PPV) at birth. STUDY DESIGN: A prospective observational study at birth of infants aged <32 weeks separated into 2
