Filter by:Until recently, bulb or catheter oronasopharyngeal suctioning (ONPS) of all the infants, including vigorous infants in the delivery room, has been featured as a standard of newborn care. The 5th edition of the Newborn Resuscitation Program (NRP) has minimized the recommendation for routine suctioning of infants following delivery, provided they are not depressed or in need of immediate resuscitation. However, this new alternative recommendation was based on a small randomized trial and other lower level evidence rather than evidence from larger trials. The NRP Textbook cautions against vigorous suctioning because of the resultant apnea or bradycardia. Furthermore, suctioning may delay other more important steps of resuscitation. Thus, it is necessary to compare the alternative recommended practice, i.e. simple wiping of the mouth, to determine if it has equivalent efficacy and a favorable side effect profile compared to suctioning.
The purpose of this study is to test the possible neuroprotective effect of early high dose erythropoietin alpha after out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA).
International CPR guidelines recommend the cannulation of a peripheral vein (antecubital or external jugular) during resuscitation. One reason for preferring the external jugular vein over more peripheral veins is the faster circulation time of drugs during CPR. The differences in circulation time may be over 90 seconds between peripheral and central (internal jugular) veins. However, cannulation of the external jugular vein may be more difficult and time consuming than cannulating cubital veins. There are no studies on the success rate, cannulation time and reliability of venous access comparing central and peripheral cannulation sites. We hypothesized that cannulation of the external jugular vein (by paramedics and is a demanding procedure in an emergency situation and should not be recommended during resuscitation. The aims of this study are to compare the feasibility of cannulating the external jugular vein compared to the cubital vein in terms of attempts, cannulation time and reliability of venous access.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether an online automatic feedback improved CPR quality (No-flow time, compression depth, short-term survival and one year follow up) in this prospective randomised study of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest
A multicenter cross-over cluster randomized controlled trial protocol study in newborn infants ≥ 26 weeks gestational age requiring assisted ventilation (positive pressure ventilation [PPV]) for resuscitation in the delivery room comparing a T-piece resuscitator device versus resuscitation bag.
