The magnitude of inflating pressure necessary for effective resuscitation was examined in 70
preterm infants. The median pressure to cause adequate chest wall expansion was 22.8 …

We assessed the effect of albumin infusion on weight loss and ventilation requirement in
sick premature infants. Thirty infants, median gestational age 29 weeks, were entered into a …

The occurrence of congenital and nosocomial bacterial septicaemia has been documented
by identifying the number of positive blood cultures by reviewing the laboratory and clinical …

The efficacy of two triggering systems was compared during neonatal patient triggered
ventilation: the Graseby MR10 respiration monitor and airway pressure changes. Ten …

Functional residual capacity (FRC) can be assessed reliably in young children using a
helium gas dilution technique. The aim of the present study was to determine if differences in …

Background: It is usually recommended that neonates with antenatally diagnosed
hydronephrosis are put on prophylactic antibiotics and undergo the following investigations …

The role of patient triggered ventilation (PTV) for the newborn was assessed using a new
patient triggered ventilator, the Draeger Bablylog 8000, which incorporates significant …

Patient triggered ventilation (PTV) has been available for neonatal use since 1986 [10].
Initially a conventional newborn ventilator (the SLE newborn) modified to be patient …

The optimum level of positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) was determined in 16 infants
with respiratory distress syndrome (median gestational age 29 weeks, median postnatal age …

The pathophysiology of startle disease (hyperekplexia) is unknown. Hyperactivity of the
brainstem reticular formation has been suggested as a cause. We report a newborn infant …
