This literature review explores factors influencing neonatal ICU intubation success, compares outcomes across settings, and identifies strategies to improve outcomes in this vulnerable population. Findings show that nearly half of all neonatal tracheal intubations are unsuccessful and that first-pass success rates correlate with provider experience. The paper emphasizes the need for standardized protocols, improved simulation-based training, and multidisciplinary strategies to reduce complications.
This research article evaluates the clinical characteristics and treatment options for neonates requiring prolonged hospitalization due to persistent hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia (HH). The study, which includes infants diagnosed between 2018 and 2021, analyzes baseline characteristics, treatment options (including diazoxide resistance), and genetic mutation analysis in both transient HH and congenital hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia (CHI) cases.
A volume focusing on controversial issues and clinical questions in Neonatology, specifically covering detailed management, diagnosis, and treatment protocols for infectious diseases (including sepsis, CMV, HSV, and fungal infections), immunology, pharmacology, and current practices in antibiotic stewardship within the NICU.
Comprehensive lecture notes covering essential topics in Neonatology, including history taking, physical examination, screening, resuscitation, classification of newborns, management of prematurity, hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), jaundice, respiratory distress, infections, and birth injuries. This content is designed for undergraduate and postgraduate medical students.
A comprehensive guide published by the American Academy of Pediatrics for parents of premature infants and other newborns requiring care in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). It provides essential information, advice, and support regarding the health and well-being of hospitalized newborns.
A monthly journal issue focusing on current topics in neonatal medicine, including optimal nutrition for very low birthweight infants (VLBW), prenatal diagnosis and management of fetal cardiac disease, diagnosis of intestinal atresia, and various clinical case studies covering complex issues like respiratory distress, hydrocephalus, hypoglycemia, jaundice, and the neonatal implications of antiphospholipid syndrome.
A comprehensive review providing a summary of the current understanding of pulmonary hypertension (PH) in congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), outlining the underlying pathophysiologic mechanisms (including the "2-hit theory"), methods for assessing PH severity, optimal management strategies (including ventilation and use of vasodilators/inotropes), and prognostic implications for affected infants.
A comprehensive text examining the current questions and controversies surrounding the diagnosis and management of renal, fluid, and electrolyte disorders in neonatal patients. This is the fourth edition in the Neonatology Questions and Controversies Series.
This manuscript addresses the ethical and clinical challenges of extreme preterm births (20–25 weeks’ gestation). It advocates for mandatory neonatology attendance starting at 20 weeks to ensure accurate gestational age assessment, immediate intervention, and informed decision-making, aiming to optimize survival and outcomes for these high-risk infants while addressing concerns regarding resource allocation and ethical guidelines.
This systematic review and individual participant data meta-analysis compares the effectiveness of deferred cord clamping, umbilical cord milking, and immediate cord clamping in reducing neonatal mortality and morbidity at preterm birth. The study found high-certainty evidence that deferred cord clamping, compared with immediate cord clamping, reduced death before hospital discharge.
A comprehensive guide covering the management, procedures, on-call problems, diseases, and drugs used in neonatology. The content includes specific details on emergency medications, dosages, and indications for critical neonatal therapy such as anticonvulsants, volume expansion, and respiratory depression reversal.
A comprehensive textbook detailing the foundational basic sciences required for clinical ophthalmology, including ocular anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, and genetics. This edition is tailored to prepare residents and medical students for understanding disease mechanisms and applying evidence-based practice.

Comprehensive notes detailing the clinical workup of a strabismus case, including history taking, ocular and orthoptic examination (motor and sensory tests), and detailed differential diagnosis tables for eso-deviations and exo-deviations (comitant vs. incomitant, paralytic vs. restrictive). Includes special considerations for informed consent for infantile ET surgery, designed for FRCS/FRCOphth final exams.
An evidence-based summary detailing the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment protocols for pneumothorax and hemothorax, including guidance on needle decompression, chest tube insertion techniques, and surgical intervention thresholds for massive or persistent retained hemothorax.
A comprehensive analysis of Giant Cell Arteritis (GCA), focusing on its manifestation in the eye. The text covers the definition of this systemic granulomatous vasculitis, its incidence, etiology, pathogenesis, clinical presentation, complications (especially visual loss), differential diagnosis, and detailed investigations including ocular techniques (FFA, OCT-A, UBM) and non-ocular diagnostics (ESR, CRP, Doppler U/S, MRI, PET scan, and temporal artery biopsy). The work emphasizes GCA as a critical ophthalmic medical emergency and outlines treatment and follow-up protocols, incorporating the 2022 ACR/EULAR classification criteria.
