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.

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.

This study analyzed data from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (2010–2023) using disproportionality analysis (ROR and BCPNN) to assess pregnancy and offspring toxicity resulting from maternal exposure to antiseizure medications (ASMs). The analysis identified signals for malformation, adverse perinatal outcomes, and dysplasia associated with both traditional (VPA, CBZ) and newer ASMs (LEV, LTG, TPM), highlighting specific risks and urging heightened attention to combination therapies due to potential risks associated with LEV and LTG.
