The Centre for the Studies of Asphyxia and Resuscitation

Why this study matters During advanced neonatal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), clinicians often face a critical question: should volume be given early to support circulation, or is pharmacologic support with epinephrine superior? While volume expansion is recommended when hypovolemia is suspected, evidence supporting its use during CPR in euvolemic newborns remains limited. This experimental study used a near-term lamb model of severe asphyxia to directly compare rapid

We would like to congratulate all sites for recruiting 1100 of 1200 patients. Congratulations, what an achievement! Thank you to everyone involved and being part of the HiLo-journey and thanks to all the parents who have consented for their babies to be part of this trial. Oxygen is a vital element in the care of preterm infants and has been given more often than any other drug over the past 80 years. Despite this, we know very little about how much or how little oxygen is sa
