Takatori, et al. investigated the differences between tidal volume and airway pressure measured by a respiratory function monitor and the actual values delivered to the lungs in scenarios involving mask leaks. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/pe… #neotwitter

Haga, et al. reviewed the prevalence and risk factors for severe neurodevelopmental impairment (NDI) in infants born at 22-29 weeks of gestation without severe intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) or periventricular leukomalacia (PVL). sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #neotwitter

Hirata, et al. reported that bubbly/cystic CXR findings and SGA status, key components of the revised Japanese BPD classification, were significantly associated with long-term pulmonary function abnormalities in extremely preterm infants. pediatr-neonatol.com/article/S1875-… #neotwitter

Our NICU team has been invited to attend the 40th anniversary symposium of the Brazilian NICU, and we are very excited to represent our institution and share our expertise with the other attendees. materiais.hospitalmoinhos.org.br/simposio-inter…

Pilot study finds diaphragmatic thickness worsens with intubation in infants born < 28 wks but even > when sedation is given. Pause & consider if sedation is required on the ventilator & ask if non-pharmacological strategies are maximized? pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40365938/ssss #neoTwitter

Ideally, all the abstracts will be accepted, but we will have to verify that they are all appropriate.  We will be able to send a letter or notification by the middle of next month.  If this is not soon enough for you, please let us know. #neotwitter #IPOKRaTES_Japan
