OBJECTIVE Obtaining informed consent for resuscitation research, especially in the newborn, is problematic. This study aimed to evaluate parental preferences for hypothetical consent procedures in neonatal resuscitation research. DESIGN Mail-out survey questionnaire. SETTING/ PARTICIPANTS Randomly selected parents who had received obstetrical or neonatal care at a tertiary perinatal centre....

Pulse oximetry may be useful during neonatal resuscitation. A randomised crossover study was performed to determine the most efficient method of applying the sensor. Applying it to the infant before connecting to the oximeter resulted in quickest acquisition of accurate heart rate. This technique should be preferred during resuscitation.

We present the revised guidelines for newborn and paediatric resuscitation for Singapore. The 2010 International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation consensus on science as well as the main recommendations from the European Resuscitation Council and American Heart Association were debated and discussed. The final recommendations for the Singapore National Resuscitation Council were derived after...

This study evaluated the interrater reliability and perceived importance of components of a developed neonatal adaption score, Neonatal Resuscitation Adaptation Score (NRAS), for evaluation of resuscitation need in the delivery room for extremely premature to term infants. Similar to the Apgar, the NRAS highest score was 10, but greater weight was given to respiratory and cardiovascular paramet...

One hundred and five infants treated with adrenaline or atropine, or both, as part of resuscitation on 124 occasions were studied retrospectively. Adrenaline was administered to 98 infants, in 40 of whom it was in combination with atropine, and seven infants received atropine alone. Twenty infants were treated solely on the delivery unit, 81 on the neonatal medical unit, and four in both places...

BACKGROUND The issue of whether 21% O(2) is more effective than 100% O(2) for resuscitation of newborn infants remains controversial. OBJECTIVES We have updated the systematic review and meta-analysis including all studies reporting resuscitation of newborn infants with 21 or 100% O(2). METHODS Randomized or quasi-randomized studies of depressed newborn infants resuscitated with 21 or 100% ...

The following guidelines are an interpretation of the evidence presented in the 2010 International Consensus on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care Science With Treatment Recommendations1). They apply primarily to newly born infants undergoing transition from intrauterine to extrauterine life, but the recommendations are also applicable to neonates who have completed...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to determine the attitude of neonatal providers toward delivery room resuscitation of an infant with confirmed trisomy 18 with known congenital heart disease at >/=36 weeks of gestation. METHODS A multiple-choice questionnaire listing this clinical scenario was completed by neonatologists and fellows staffing level III NICUs. Potential factors influen...
