چکیده
A recent systematic review and meta-analysis shows that volume-targeted ventilation (VTV) compared with pressurelimited ventilation (PLV) reduce death and bronchopulmonary dysplasia, pneumothorax, hypocarbia and severe cranial ultrasound abnormalities. In this paper, we present published research and our experience with volume guarantee (VG) ventilation, a VTV mode available on the Dräger Babylog 8000plus and VN500 ventilators. The VG algorithm measures the expired tidal volume (VT) for each inflation and adjusts the peak inflating pressure for the next inflation to deliver a VT set by the clinician. The advantage of controlling expired VT is that this is less influenced by endotracheal tube leak than inspired VT. VG ventilation can be used with an endotracheal tube leak up to ~50%. Initial set VT for infants with respiratory distress syndrome should be 4.0 to 5.0 ml kg. The set VT should be adjusted to maintain normocapnoea. Setting the peak inflating pressure limit well above the working pressure is important to enable the ventilator to deliver the set VT, and to avoid frequent alarms. This paper provides a practical guide on how to use VG ventilation.

Perinatal/neonatal case presentation: unexpected severe respiratory insufficiency in a newborn with Holt-Oram Syndrome.
Holt-Oram syndrome is an autosomal dominant condition characterized by skeletal and cardiac defects. Pulmonary malformation is not reported to belong to the spectrum of this condition. We report a second case of a newborn with Holt-Oram syndrome who developed severe respiratory insufficiency shortly after birth. We discuss possible genetic links between abnormal pulmonary morphogenesis and Holt...

Background: Zika virus is a member of the virus family Flaviviridae and the genus Flavivirus, transmitted by daytime-active Aedes mosquitoes, such as A. aegypti and A. albopictus. Studies conducted on other viruses within this family, such as hepatitis C, West Nile and yellow fever virus, show definitively that the virus is heat sensitive, and therefore, inactivated during the Holder Pasteuriza...

Health systems and polices have a critical role in determining the manner in which health services are delivered, utilized and affect health outcomes. 'Health' being a state subject, despite the issuance of the guidelines by the central government, the final prerogative on implementation of the initiatives on newborn care lies with the states. This article briefly describes the public health st...
