In this RCT of 142 infants (≥30 wks) with RDS, NHFOV was reported non-inferior to nCPAP for treatment failure (4.2% vs 4.2%; RD 0.00). However, the 20% margin is very wide, limiting confidence that meaningful harm is excluded.

New national recommendations from the Swedish State Medical Ethics Council suggest a more restrictive stance on resuscitating infants at the limit of viability, advising against intervention at 22W GA. While most Level 4 units support the shift, as expected Uppsala dissents. #Neosky #Neonatalsky
In addition to the VLBW Database, VON also offers an Expanded Database that includes all infants admitted to center’s NICU within the first 28 days of life. By learning from every baby, NICUs can make improvements that touch the lives of all families. #neosky bit.ly/4e9AOjR
In the NICU, better outcomes come from measurement, teamwork, and testing change-not a four-leaf clover. Today we honor recipients of the VON Award for Excellence in Quality Improvement, whose projects demonstrate how intentional improvement can transform care in the NICU. #neosky bit.ly/49lEOyz
