Too much antibiotics, part 1.

An important multi-centre observational study examines how many newborn infants, term or late-preterm are receiving antibiotics, for how long, and the responses to negative cultures. Centres from E…

Long-term outcomes after preterm birth; the next step neonatalresearch.org/2024/10…

Long-term outcomes after preterm birth; the next step

I usually try to avoid buzz-words and phrases like “paradigm shift” but it applies well, I think, to what is happening in the world of neonatal follow-up, and more broadly, I hope, to n…

What should saturation targets be in established chronic lung disease with pulmonary hypertension? neonatalresearch.org/2024/10…

What should saturation targets be in established chronic lung disease with pulmonary hypertension?

This question has been puzzling me recently, as we are trying to evaluate our current approach, and whether it needs to be changed. My bias has been that oxygen is toxic, and we should only give th…

Nosocomial infections, “Hospital-Acquired Infections”, and now “Hospital-Onset Bacteremia”
