Introduction: Time of medication delivery from the onset of illness is one factor that determines disease outcomes. In this study, we aimed to reduce the average time from admission to the first dose of antibiotic by at least 30% and increase the per

Background: Neonates exposed to mechanical ventilation may develop bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). BPD neonates exhibit a 25–30% increase in energy expenditure which may decrease the rate of growth and development. Heliox has been shown to improv

Heliox (Hx) gas has been shown to improve pulmonary function in infants, but methods for its delivery are invasive and problematic. To this end, we modified an Isolette (Hill-Rom Air-Shields) infant incubator (Hxl) to deliver Hx respiratory gas mixtu

Background: Structural changes in the developing conducting airway impact the rigidity of the airway, altering the airway’s ability to sustain its shape during ventilation. The developmental changes in airway compliance oppose the changes in compli

Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)/tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase (TIMP) expression in tracheal aspirates (TA) is commonly assayed to represent the protein profile in the lung. This study tests the hypothesis that the profile of MMPs 2, 7,

Although a wide array of respiratory care modalities has been employed to manage neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), the recent focus has emphasized strategies that correct lung pathophysiology while protecting the lung from further insult.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the patterns of hospitalization of term infants in 3 major metropolitan areas. We hypothesized that regional practice variation occurred in the care of term infants and that these differences would be refle

Lung disease has been a leading cause of significant morbidity and mortality since neonates first drew breath. Over the past few decades, many treatment options have evolved to aid us in our ability to support neonatal breathing. The history of neona
