NEONATAL RESPIRATORY TRIALS IN SICK & PRETERM NEWBORN INFANTS With Professor Brett Manley, Consultant Neonatologist Mercy Hospital For Women, Melbourne & Professor of Neonatal Medicine Department of Obstetrics, Gynaecology and Newborn Health, University of Melbourne, Australia youtu.be/NAY_0xBGsrw

Registration for Cool Topics in Neonatology 😎 November 2025 in Melbourne is NOW OPEN! #neosky Anup Katheria! Neena Modi! Richard Martin! TORPIDO 30/60 results! Coconut oil trial (COSI-2) results! AIROplane results (maybe)! t.co/DwpA3rkUCi

The most recent AAP SONPM Journal Club webinar is available - youtu.be/beh82Mgor7Q Dr. Aung (Neonatal-Perinatal Fellow, St. Christopher's Hospital) gave an excellent overview of the PLUSS trial. Thank you to @drbretty.bsky.social and Dr. Watterberg for joining! #neobluesky

There’s a specific reason I have the idk 🤷🏼‍♂️ emoji in my profile It’s because idk 🤷🏼‍♂️ a LOT of stuff, and openly admit that We are playing catch up in neonatology because we have so many established practices that are not strongly based in evidence #neosky

Thrilled to have Prof. Georg Schmölzer @research4babies.bsky.social presenting on resuscitation studies @mercyperinatal.bsky.social #neosky

Caffeine is good for the preterm brain; might more caffeine be even better? One of the pivotal RCTs in neonatology was the CAP study (Schmidt B, et al. Long-term effects of caffeine therapy for apnea of prematurity. N Engl J Med. 2007;357(19):1893–902). We performed that study because there was no…

Does counting ribs on neonatal CXR really work? In 218 babies, we found a weak correlation with CT lung volumes. Time to abandon old dogmas? Lead by Dr Sophia Dahm published in @jama.com pediatrics. @davidtingay1.bsky.social @nhmrc.bsky.social jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

This cross-sectional study investigates if use of diaphragm position relative to posterior ribs on the chest radiograph of neonates reliably estimates aerated lung volume.

One of the pivotal RCTs in neonatology was the CAP study (Schmidt B, et al. Long-term effects of caffeine therapy for apnea of prematurity. N Engl J Med. 2007;357(19):1893–902). We performed that study because there was no data on the long term impacts of caffeine, and there was a worry that blocking adenosine receptors in babies having multiple hypoxic episodes might be a bad idea. Adenosine is an inhibitory neurotransmitter that is produced during hypoxia, and decreases the brain metabolic rate to protect against hypoxic damage. So giving caffeine to babies having a lot of apnoeas could potentially have been a bad idea.
