To determine whether 2006 Australian national guidance to delay elective caesarean section until 39 weeks' gestation would reduce the need for neonatal retrieval for respiratory compromise following elective caesarean.

Impact of elective caesarean section on neonatal retrieval in Western Australia during a 12-year period.

C-reactive protein (CRP) is used to assist the diagnosis and monitoring of newborn infection. Little is known about CRP activity after birth in the absence of infection.

Serial C-Reactive Protein Measurements in Newborn Infants without Evidence of Early-Onset Infection.

In neonatal intensive care, coagulase-negative  species can be both blood culture contaminants and pathogens. False-positive cultures can result in clinical uncertainty and unnecessary antibiotic use.

A Sterile Collection Bundle Intervention Reduces the Recovery of Bacteria from Neonatal Blood Culture.

Bubble CPAP may be used in infants with suspected or confirmed COVID-19. Electrostatic filters may reduce cross infection. This study aims to determine if including a filter in the bubble CPAP circuit impacts stability of pressure delivery.

Electrostatic Filters to Reduce COVID-19 Spread in Bubble CPAP: An in vitro Study of Safety and Efficacy.

An extremely preterm infant is one born at less than 27 weeks' gestation. Over time, survival rates in this population have improved. This cohort remains at high risk of mortality and life-long morbidity. The birth of extremely preterm infants is an important public health issue and one which concerns neonatologists, paediatricians, general practitioners and parents alike. This paper aims to provide guidance for the antenatal discussion between clinicians and expectant families and may serve as a template to facilitate open communication.

Fifteen-minute consultation: Outcomes of the extremely preterm infant (<27 weeks): what to tell the parents.

The extent of lung hypoplasia impacts the survival and severity of morbidities associated with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). The alveoli of CDH infants and in experimental models of CDH have thickened septa with fewer type II pneumocytes and capillaries. Fetal treatments of CDH-risk preterm birth. Therefore, treatments must aim to balance the need for increased gas exchange surface area with the restoration of pulmonary epithelial type II cells and the long-term respiratory and neurodevelopmental consequences of prematurity. Achievement of sufficient lung development in utero for successful postnatal transition requires adequate intra-thoracic space for lung growth, maintenance of sufficient volume and appropriate composition of fetal lung fluid, regular fetal breathing movements, appropriate gas exchange area, and ample surfactant production. The review aims to examine the rationale for current and future therapeutic strategies to improve postnatal outcomes of infants with CDH.

Impact of fetal treatments for congenital diaphragmatic hernia on lung development.

We compared mortality and morbidity of inborn versus outborn very preterm infants <32 weeks' gestation in Western Australia (WA) between 2005 and 2018.
