OBJECTIVE: Early hypoglycaemia at the time of neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission is common in very/extreme preterm infants. This study aimed to determine whether buccal dextrose gel in the delivery room (DR) would improve rates of early hypoglycaemia in this population. DESIGN: Randomised, blinded, placebo-controlled trial. SETTING: Four level-3 and one level-2 neonatal units. PATIENTS: Inborn infants≤32+0 weeks gestational age (GA). INTERVENTIONS: Infants were randomised to 40% dextrose or placebo gel in the DR (≤29+0 GA: 0.5 mL gel, ≥29+1 GA: 1 mL gel). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Hypoglycaemia (<1.8 mmol/L) measured at the time of first intravenous access at NICU admission. RESULTS: Between November 2020 and August 2022, the recruitment rate was slow (impacted by the requirement for antenatal consent). This fact, coupled with finite research resources, led to a decision to end recruitment early. Data analysis of 169 newborns (33% of target sample size) showed no significant difference in the frequency of the primary outcome between dextrose 24/84 (29%) and placebo 25/85 (29%) groups (OR 0.95; 95% CI 0.49 to 1.86; p=0.88). A post-hoc analysis indicated that the trial had a low (47% conditional power) chance of detecting a statistically significant benefit from the intervention (had the target sample been achieved). CONCLUSIONS: This study showed no evidence of benefit of 40% dextrose gel on rates of hypoglycaemia at NICU admission. Management of these vulnerable newborns should continue to focus on vascular access and commencement of dextrose-containing intravenous fluids as early as possible. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT04353713.

OBJECTIVE: Regarding the use of lung ultrasound (LU) in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) across Europe, to assess how widely it is used, for what indications and how its implementation might be improved. DESIGN AND INTERVENTION: International online survey. RESULTS: Replies were received from 560 NICUs in 24 countries between January and May 2023. LU uptake varied considerably (20%-98% of NICUs) between countries. In 428 units (76%), LU was used for clinical indications, while 34 units (6%) only used it for research purposes. One-third of units had <2 years of experience, and only 71 units (13%) had >5 years of experience. LU was mainly performed by neonatologists. LU was most frequently used to diagnose respiratory diseases (68%), to evaluate an infant experiencing acute clinical deterioration (53%) and to guide surfactant treatment (39%). The main pathologies diagnosed by LU were pleural effusion, pneumothorax, transient tachypnoea of the newborn and respiratory distress syndrome. The main barriers for implementation were lack of experience with technical aspects and/or image interpretation. Most units indicated that specific courses and an international guideline on neonatal LU could promote uptake of this technique. CONCLUSIONS: Although LU has been adopted in neonatal care in most European countries, the uptake is highly variable. The main indications are diagnosis of lung disease, evaluation of acute clinical deterioration and guidance of surfactant. Implementation may be improved by developing courses and publishing an international guideline.

IMPORTANCE: Red blood cell (RBC) transfusions are frequently administered to preterm infants born before 32 weeks of gestation in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Two randomized clinical trials (Effects of Transfusion Thresholds on Neurocognitive Outcomes of Extremely Low-Birth-Weight Infants [ETTNO] and Transfusion of Prematures [TOP]) found that liberal RBC transfusion thresholds are nonsuperior to restrictive thresholds, but the extent to which these results have been integrated into clinical practice since publication in 2020 is unknown. OBJECTIVE: To describe neonatal RBC transfusion practice in Europe. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: This international prospective observational cohort study collected data between September 1, 2022, and August 31, 2023, with a 6-week observation period per center, from 64 NICUs in 22 European countries. Participants included 1143 preterm infants born before 32 weeks of gestation. EXPOSURE: Admission to the NICU. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES: Study outcome measures included RBC transfusion prevalence rates, cumulative incidence, indications, pretransfusion hemoglobin (Hb) levels, volumes, and transfusion rates, Hb increment, and adverse effects of RBC transfusion. RESULTS: A total of 1143 preterm infants were included (641 male [56.1%]; median gestational age at birth, 28 weeks plus 2 days [IQR, 26 weeks plus 2 days to 30 weeks plus 2 days]; median birth weight, 1030 [IQR, 780-1350] g), of whom 396 received 1 or more RBC transfusions, totaling 903 transfusions. Overall RBC transfusion prevalence rate during postnatal days 1 to 28 was 3.4 transfusion days per 100 admission days, with considerable variation across countries, only partly explained by patient mix. By day 28, 36.5% (95% CI, 31.6%-41.5%) of infants had received at least 1 transfusion. Most transfusions were given based on a defined Hb threshold (748 [82.8%]). Hemoglobin levels before transfusions indicated for threshold were below the restrictive thresholds set by ETTNO in 324 of 729 transfusions (44.4%) and TOP in 265 of 729 (36.4%). Conversely, they were between restrictive and liberal thresholds in 352 (48.3%) and 409 (56.1%) transfusions, respectively, and above liberal thresholds in 53 (7.3%) and 55 (7.5%) transfusions, respectively. Most transfusions given based on threshold had volumes of 15 mL/kg (470 of 738 [63.7%]) and were administered over 3 hours (400 of 738 [54.2%]), but there was substantial variation in dose and duration. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: In this cohort study of very preterm infants, most transfusions indicated for threshold were given for pretransfusion Hb levels above restrictive transfusion thresholds evaluated in recent trials. These results underline the need to optimize practices and for implementation research to support uptake of evidence.

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to evaluate the performance of the fabian-Predictive-Intelligent-Control-of-Oxygenation (PRICO) system for automated control of the fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2). DESIGN: Multicentre randomised cross-over study. SETTING: Five neonatal intensive care units experienced with automated control of FiO2 and the fabian ventilator. PATIENTS: 39 infants: median gestational age of 27 weeks (IQR: 26-30), postnatal age 7 days (IQR: 2-17), weight 1120 g (IQR: 915-1588), FiO2 0.32 (IQR: 0.22-0.43) receiving both non-invasive (27) and invasive (12) respiratory support. INTERVENTION: Randomised sequential 24-hour periods of automated and manual FiO2 control. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Proportion (%) of time in normoxaemia (90%-95% with FiO2>0.21 and 90%-100% when FiO2=0.21) was the primary endpoint. Secondary endpoints were severe hypoxaemia (<80%) and severe hyperoxaemia (>98% with FiO2>0.21) and prevalence of episodes ≥60 s at these two SpO2 extremes. RESULTS: During automated control, subjects spent more time in normoxaemia (74%±22% vs 51%±22%, p<0.001) with less time above and below (<90% (9%±8% vs 12%±11%, p<0.001) and >95% with FiO2>0.21 (16%±19% vs 35%±24%) p<0.001). They spent less time in severe hyperoxaemia (1% (0%-3.5%) vs 5% (1%-10%), p<0.001) but exposure to severe hypoxaemia was low in both arms and not different. The differences in prolonged episodes of SpO2 were consistent with the times at extremes. CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates the ability of the PRICO automated oxygen control algorithm to improve the maintenance of SpO2 in normoxaemia and to avoid hyperoxaemia without increasing hypoxaemia.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy of automatic oxygen control (A-FiO2) in reducing the extremes of oxygen saturations (SpO2<80% and SpO2>98%) in preterm infants on high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) respiratory support using Vapotherm Precision Flow. DESIGN: A parallel-arm randomised controlled trial. SETTING: A level-III neonatal intensive care unit. PATIENTS: Preterm infants born <33 (23+0 to 32+6) weeks receiving HFNC as respiratory support. INTERVENTIONS: A-FiO2 versus manual (M-FiO2) oxygen control during the full course of HFNC support. OUTCOMES: The primary outcome of this study is percentage of time spent in extreme oxygen saturations (<80% and >98%) in preterm infants when receiving HFNC as respiratory support. Secondary outcomes were time with SpO2 between 90% and 95% plus time >95% without supplemental oxygen. RESULTS: 60 infants were randomised equally to either A-FiO2 or M-FiO2 arm. Their baseline characteristics were comparable. They spent a median of 5.3 (IQR: 2.0-8.4) and 6.5 (IQR: 2.9-13.7) days in the study, A-FiO2 and M-FiO2, respectively. The percentage of time spent in SpO2<80% (median of 0.4% (0.1%-0.8%) vs 1.6% (0.6%-2.6%), p=0.002) and >98% (median 0.2% (0.1%-0.9%) vs 1.9% (0.7%-4%), p<0.001) were significantly lower in A-FiO2 compared with M-FiO2. The difference in median percentage of time in target range between the two arms was 26% (81% (74%-93%) in A-FiO2 vs 55% (48%-72%) in M-FiO2). CONCLUSION: A-FiO2 was associated with statistically significant reduction in the percentage of time spent in extremes of saturation when compared with M-FiO2 in preterm infants receiving HFNC.

BACKGROUND: The SafeBoosC project aims to test the clinical value of non-invasive cerebral oximetry by near-infrared spectroscopy in newborn infants. The purpose is to establish whether cerebral oximetry can be used to save newborn infants' lives and brains or not. Newborns contribute heavily to total childhood mortality and neonatal brain damage is the cause of a large part of handicaps such as cerebral palsy. The objective of the SafeBoosC-IIIv trial is to evaluate the benefits and harms of cerebral oximetry added to usual care versus usual care in mechanically ventilated newborns. METHODS/DESIGN: SafeBoosC-IIIv is an investigator-initiated, multinational, randomised, pragmatic phase-III clinical trial. The inclusion criteria will be newborns with a gestational age more than 28 + 0 weeks, postnatal age less than 28 days, predicted to require mechanical ventilation for at least 24 h, and prior informed consent from the parents or deferred consent or absence of opt-out. The exclusion criteria will be no available cerebral oximeter, suspicion of or confirmed brain injury or disorder, or congenital heart disease likely to require surgery. A total of 3000 participants will be randomised in 60 neonatal intensive care units from 16 countries, in a 1:1 allocation ratio to cerebral oximetry versus usual care. Participants in the cerebral oximetry group will undergo cerebral oximetry monitoring during mechanical ventilation in the neonatal intensive care unit for as long as deemed useful by the treating physician or until 28 days of life. The participants in the cerebral oximetry group will be treated according to the SafeBoosC treatment guideline. Participants in the usual care group will not receive cerebral oximetry and will receive usual care. We use two co-primary outcomes: (1) a composite of death from any cause or moderate to severe neurodevelopmental disability at 2 years of corrected age and (2) the non-verbal cognitive score of the Parent Report of Children's Abilities-Revised (PARCA-R) at 2 years of corrected age. DISCUSSION: There is need for a randomised clinical trial to evaluate cerebral oximetry added to usual care versus usual care in mechanically ventilated newborns. TRIAL REGISTRATION: The protocol is registered at www. CLINICALTRIALS: gov (NCT05907317; registered 18 June 2023).

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to compare two different modes of ventilation in maintaining oxygen saturation (SpO2) in target range (90%-95%) in ventilated preterm infants cared for with automatic control of oxygen delivery (A-FiO2). DESIGN: A single-centre randomised crossover study. SETTINGS: A level III neonatal intensive care unit. PATIENTS: Preterm infants receiving mechanical ventilation and oxygen requirement >21%. INTERVENTIONS: Volume guarantee (VG) vs volume controlled ventilation (VCV) modes with automatic oxygen control (A-FiO2). OUTCOMES: The primary outcome of this study was the proportion of time spent with oxygen saturations in the target range (90%-95%) . RESULTS: Nineteen preterm infants with a median gestation age 25 weeks (IQR: 24-28) and birth weight 685 g (IQR: 595-980) were enrolled in the study. There was no significant difference in primary outcome of median proportion of time spent in target saturation between the two arms (72% (57-81) in VG vs 75% (58-83) in VCV; p=0.98). There was no significant difference in the secondary outcomes of time spent in SpO2 <80% (0.03% vs 0.14%; p=0.51), time spent in SpO2 >98% (0.50% vs 0.08%; p=0.54), the median FiO2 (31% vs 29%; p=0.51) or manual adjustments carried out between VG and VCV, respectively. The number of episodes of prolonged hypoxaemia and hyperoxaemia were similar in the two groups. CONCLUSION: There was no significant difference in time spent in target SpO2 range between VG and VCV when A-FiO2 was used as the FiO2 controller in this crossover randomised control study.

BACKGROUND: It has still to be ascertained whether severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection in pregnancy is associated with worse maternal and fetal outcomes compared to low risk gestations. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate maternal and perinatal outcomes in high- and low-risk pregnancies complicated by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection. STUDY DESIGN: This was a multinational retrospective cohort study involving women with laboratory-confirmed severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection from 76 centers from 25 countries in Europe, the United States, South America, Asia, and Australia from April 4, 2020, to October 28, 2020. The primary outcome was a composite measure of maternal mortality and morbidity, including admission to the intensive care unit, use of mechanical ventilation, or death. The secondary outcome was a composite measure of adverse perinatal outcome, including miscarriage, fetal loss, neonatal and perinatal death, and admission to the neonatal intensive care unit. All outcomes were assessed in high- and low-risk pregnancies. Pregnancies were considered high risk in case of either preexisting chronic medical conditions in pregnancy or obstetrical disorders occurring in pregnancy. The Fisher exact test and logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the data. RESULTS: A total of 887 singleton pregnancies who tested positive for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction of nasal and pharyngeal swab specimens were included in the study. The risk of composite adverse maternal outcomes was higher in high-risk pregnancies than in low-risk pregnancies (odds ratio, 1.52; 95% confidence interval, 1.03-2.24; P=.035). In addition, women carrying high-risk pregnancies were at higher risk of hospital admission (odds ratio, 1.48; 95% confidence interval, 1.07-2.04; P=.002), presence of severe respiratory symptoms (odds ratio, 2.13; 95% confidence interval, 0.41-3.21; P=.001), admission to the intensive care unit (odds ratio, 2.63; 95% confidence interval, 1.42-4.88), and invasive mechanical ventilation (odds ratio, 2.65; 95% confidence interval, 1.19-5.94; P=.002). When exploring perinatal outcomes, high-risk pregnancies were at high risk of adverse perinatal outcomes (odds ratio, 1.78; 95% confidence interval, 0.15-2.72; P=.009). However, such association was mainly because of the higher incidence of miscarriage in high-risk pregnancies compared with that in low-risk pregnancies (5.3% vs 1.6%, P=.008); furthermore, there was no difference in other explored outcomes between the 2 study groups. At logistic regression analysis, maternal age (odds ratio, 1.12; 95% confidence interval, 1.02-1.22; P=.023) and high-risk pregnancy (odds ratio, 4.21; 95% confidence interval, 3.90-5.11; P<.001) were independently associated with adverse maternal outcomes. CONCLUSION: High-risk pregnancies complicated by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection were at higher risk of adverse maternal outcomes than low-risk pregnancies complicated by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection.

Necrotising enterocolitis (NEC) is a devastating condition with high morbidity and mortality seen predominately in preterm infants. Multiple factors are associated with the pathogenesis of NEC. The widespread use of antibiotics in the neonatal intensive care unit might play a role in the pathogenesis of NEC in preterm infants. This review provides a summary on the intestinal microbiota in preterm infants with a focus on how antibiotic exposure may reduce the biodiversity of the intestinal microbiota and may predispose preterm infants to NEC. CONCLUSION: Prolonged antibiotic therapy has been suggested as a risk factor for the development of NEC in preterm infants.

BACKGROUND: Continuous monitoring of SpO2 in the neonatal ICU is the standard of care. Changes in SpO2 exposure have been shown to markedly impact outcome, but limiting extreme episodes is an arduous task. Much more complicated than setting alarm policy, it is fraught with balancing alarm fatigue and compliance. Information on optimum strategies is limited. METHODS: This is a retrospective observational study intended to describe the relative chance of normoxemia, and risks of hypoxemia and hyperoxemia at relevant SpO2 levels in the neonatal ICU. The data, paired SpO2-PaO2 and post-menstrual age, are from a single tertiary care unit. They reflect all infants receiving supplemental oxygen and mechanical ventilation during a 3-year period. The primary measures were the chance of normoxemia (PaO2 50-80 mmHg), risks of severe hypoxemia (PaO2 ≤ 40 mmHg), and of severe hyperoxemia (PaO2 ≥ 100 mmHg) at relevant SpO2 levels. RESULTS: Neonates were categorized by postmenstrual age: < 33 (n = 155), 33-36 (n = 192) and > 36 (n = 1031) weeks. From these infants, 26,162 SpO2-PaO2 pairs were evaluated. The post-menstrual weeks (median and IQR) of the three groups were: 26 (24-28) n = 2603; 34 (33-35) n = 2501; and 38 (37-39) n = 21,058. The chance of normoxemia (65, 95%-CI 64-67%) was similar across the SpO2 range of 88-95%, and independent of PMA. The increasing risk of severe hypoxemia became marked at a SpO2 of 85% (25, 95%-CI 21-29%), and was independent of PMA. The risk of severe hyperoxemia was dependent on PMA. For infants < 33 weeks it was marked at 98% SpO2 (25, 95%-CI 18-33%), for infants 33-36 weeks at 97% SpO2 (24, 95%-CI 14-25%) and for those > 36 weeks at 96% SpO2 (20, 95%-CI 17-22%). CONCLUSIONS: The risk of hyperoxemia and hypoxemia increases exponentially as SpO2 moves towards extremes. Postmenstrual age influences the threshold at which the risk of hyperoxemia became pronounced, but not the thresholds of hypoxemia or normoxemia. The thresholds at which a marked change in the risk of hyperoxemia and hypoxemia occur can be used to guide the setting of alarm thresholds. Optimal management of neonatal oxygen saturation must take into account concerns of alarm fatigue, staffing levels, and FiO2 titration practices.
