How should we evaluate heart rate during neonatal resuscitation?
Many babies receive some sort of “resuscitation” during their transition from intra-uterine to extra-uterine life. How do we decide when a baby needs intervention? A baby who is active and breathing is usually left alone, a baby who is neither … Continue reading
PAS 2018 No1: SAIL away (and another mention by a science journalist).
For some reason there is a small epidemic (n=2, that’s a pico-epidemic) of articles about probiotics and necrotising enterocolitis this year in the mainstream press. I was interviewed, and I am mentioned again, in this article on the NOVA “next” … Continue reading

Does tactile stimulation in the delivery room actually do anything?

I mentioned the second trial I wanted to discuss at the beginning of part 1. Duley L, et al. Randomised trial of cord clamping and initial stabilisation at very preterm birth. Archives of disease in childhood Fetal and neonatal edition. … Continue reading

New Publication
Just arrived on-line: a systematic review and meta-analysis (I can imagine Annie’s eyes glazing over right now as she reads those words) of neonatal resuscitation programs. Pammi M, et al. Newborn Resuscitation Training Programmes Reduce Early Neonatal Mortality. Neonatology. 2016;110(3):210-24. Available free … Continue reading
A step forward in neonatal resuscitation. And Oh So Simple.
When you are resuscitating a baby, and you ask, how is the heart rate? What kind of answer do you get? “It’s good” “pulse is a bit slow” “I think its around 80”? As Lou Halamek and his team recount … Continue reading
