NEW PAPER
Compromised cardiopulmonary transition in fetal growth restricted and small for gestational age neonates
Suboptimal fetal growth → altered cardiac structure/function → higher risk of impaired adaptation at birth, respiratory morbidity, and long-term CV risk.

New publication from our group covering aspects of the talk I will be giving at Neonatal Update in London later this year.

More isn’t always better!
Adding systemic hydrocortisone to intrapulmonary budesonide in preterm ventilation didn’t boost lung outcomes—in fact, it blunted the benefits & triggered early brain inflammation

When we see parents doing kangaroo care, we should sincerely thank them as this simple act is saving lives!

Thrilled to share our latest article spotlighting the emerging power of umbilical cord blood cells in treating neonatal diseases!
A great read and a promising start for UCBC applications

“There was no significant difference between the
eCPAP and dCPAP groups with regards to the time to first feed or full feeds, occurrence
of BPD as defined by Jobe and Bancalari (7.4%vs 6.5%), or discharge PMA between
the groups.”
Lungs need pressure to grow!
RCT demonstrates extended CPAP promotes lung growth and gas exchange

Wow
All feeds by D1-2 is amazing in 28 w plus above cohort
Donors milk (if EBM not much) I presume?
Until what age you have provisions for donor milk?
What’s your NEC rates in >28w cohort?
Welcome Ted - glad to have you here. See you soon.
Yes looking forward to see it
I’m assuming they will show the data at PAS
Just help me understand this - do you mean you have been practicing this already in DK for >28 week GA babies
Yes that’s what happens most places but this small RCT demonstrates babies 30-33w could be all feeds enterally from day 1
Saves lot of money and costs
Of course need big trial to demonstrate safety as well - FEED1 trial has completed recruitment analysis on way
We could feed 30-33 week babies exclusively enterally from day 1 with no TPN or IV fluids which results in many gains including shorter hospital stay by almost 1 week as demonstrated in this RCT
