International Expert Consensus and Recommendations for Neonatal Pneumothorax Ultrasound Diagnosis and Ultrasound-guided Thoracentesis Procedure

Pneumothorax (PTX) represents accumulation of the air in the pleural space. A large or tension pneumothorax can collapse the lung and cause hemodynamic ...

A precise balance exists between the actions of endogenous glucocorticoids (GC) and retinoids to promote normal lung development, in particular during alveolarization. The mechanisms controlling this balance are largely unknown, but recent evidence suggests that midkine (MK), a retinoic acid-regulated, pro-angiogenic growth factor, may function as a critical regulator. The purpose of this study was to examine regulation of MK by GC and RA during postnatal alveolar formation in rats.

The angiogenic factor midkine is regulated by dexamethasone and retinoic acid during alveolarization and in alveolar epithelial cells.

Tracheobronchomalacia is a common comorbidity in neonates with bronchopulmonary dysplasia. However, the effect of tracheobronchomalacia on the clinical course of bronchopulmonary dysplasia is not well-understood.

Tracheobronchomalacia Is Associated with Increased Morbidity in Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia.

Immunizations provide important protection from serious childhood illnesses. Infant chronic lung disease (CLD) is a serious complication of prematurity and predisposes premature infants to respiratory morbidity, rehospitalization, and mortality. This high-risk group is especially vulnerable to infections, such as invasive pneumococcal disease, influenza, and bronchiolitis. Our purpose for this project was to increase 2-, 4-, and 6-month immunization rates in eligible infants with CLD in the NICU by 30% through December 2016.

Increasing Immunization Rates in Infants with Severe Chronic Lung Disease: A Quality Improvement Initiative.

Despite the advance in neonatal care over the past few decades, preventing preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome progress to bronchopulmonary dysplasia remained challenging. In this review, we will discuss the respiratory support strategies in preterm infants with RDS evolving into BPD based on the changes in pulmonary mechanics and pathophysiology as well as currently available evidence.
