ABSTRACT
Introduction: We present the case of a patient with an unexpected postnatal diagnosis of tracheal agenesis, a severe and rare pathology with fewer than 200 cases documented in the literature, typically diagnosed postmortem. In our instance, early diagnosis was achieved through collaborative efforts and teamwork among various professionals. We provide illustrative images and videos to assist colleagues in identifying this congenital anomaly. Case presentation: The patient is a term newborn with prenatal indicators of polyhydramnios and a single umbilical artery. Upon birth, the infant exhibited severe respiratory distress, and orotracheal intubation via direct laryngoscopy was unfeasible. Consequently, an urgent fibrobronchoscopy, conducted by pediatric surgeons, led to the diagnosis of tracheal agenesis with tracheoesophageal fistula and the placement of a directed endotracheal tube. This intervention facilitated temporary ventilation until parental consensus on management was achieved. Following a multidisciplinary consultation, the decision was made to proceed with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Unfortunately, the patient experienced a prolonged refractory cardiorespiratory arrest and died after 7â h of life in his mother's arms. Conclusion: Teamwork in neonatology is indispensable when addressing emergent pathologies. In our experience, multidisciplinary management, including anesthesiologists and pediatric surgeons, should be contemplated in complex scenarios.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Kangaroo care (KC) is an evidence-based best practice that can prevent major health complications in preterm infants. However, there is a lack of evidence on the feasibility and safety of placing extremely preterm infants under 28 weeks gestational age in KC position. AIM: To compare thermal stability 60 min after the first KC session in the lateral versus prone position in extremely preterm infants under 28 weeks gestational age. STUDY DESIGN: This is a single-centre, randomized, non-inferiority, parallel clinical trial. The patients were extremely preterm infants during their first 5 days of life. Infants in the intervention group received KC in the lateral position while those in the control group received KC in the prone position. All infants receiving KC were inside their polyethylene bags but maintained skin-to-skin contact. The primary outcome was the axillary temperature of the infants, and the secondary outcome was the development of intraventricular haemorrhage. RESULTS: Seventy infants were randomized (35 per group). The mean gestational age was 26 +1(1+1) in both groups. In the first KC session, the infant temperature at 60 minutes was 36.79°C (0.43) in lateral KC position, and 36.78°C (0.38) in prone KC position (p = .022). In lateral KC position, 7.69% (2) of the children who, according to the cranial ultrasound performed before the first session, had no haemorrhage presented with intraventricular haemorrhage after the first session. In prone KC position, new haemorrhages appeared after the first session in 29.17% (7) (p = .08). CONCLUSIONS: The lateral KC position is an alternative to the conventional prone KC position and maintains normothermia in infants under 28 weeks gestational age. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: Extremely preterm infants are candidates for KC. Lateral KC position is an evidence-based best practice that can be applied to preterm infants under 28 weeks GA. This evidence is particularly useful in performing umbilical catheterization on these patients.
ABSTRACT
AIM: The architecture of neonatal units plays a key role in developmental strategies and preterm outcomes. The aim was to evaluate the design of Spanish neonatal units and its impact on the participation of parents in neonatal care. METHODS: A web-based survey was sent to all level III Spanish neonatal units, including questions about hospital data, architectural design, facilities and family participation. RESULTS: The study included 63 units. Most units (87%) had part or all the intensive care patients located in open bay units, while 54% had at least one individual patient cubicle. Single family rooms, defined as those including enough space and furniture for family members to stay with the infant without restrictions, were available in 8 units (13%). Eighteen units (29%) had a structured programme of family education. Units with single family rooms were more likely to have parental participation in rounds (p < 0.01), safety protocols (p = 0.02), oxygen management (p < 0.01) and nasogastric tube feeding (p = 0.02), as well as to allow siblings to participate in kangaroo care (p < 0.01). CONCLUSION: Widely variable architectural designs and policies were found in Spanish neonatal units. The presence of single family rooms may have impacted the participation of parents in neonatal care.

AIM: We examined the correlation between how long it took the parents of very low birthweight infants, born weighing up to 1500 g, to provide different kinds of autonomous care in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). METHODS: This prospective observational was conducted in the NICU of a Spanish hospital from 10 January 2020 to 3 May 2022. The unit had 11 beds single-family rooms and provided eight beds in an open bay room. The study examined breastfeeding, patient safety, participation in rounds, pain prevention and cleanliness. RESULTS: We studied 96 patients and their parents and there was no correlation between any type of care and the time it took parents to provide it autonomously. Parents in the single-family room cohort spent a median of 9.5 h per day between them in the NICU, while the parents in the open bay room spent 7.0 h with their infants (p = 0.03). However, parents in the single-family room group were able to recognise pain faster (p = 0.02). CONCLUSION: Parents in single-family rooms spent more time in the NICU and recognised pain faster but did not achieve autonomous care faster than parents in the open bay group.

BACKGROUND: The use of cerebral oximetry monitoring in the care of extremely preterm infants is increasing. However, evidence that its use improves clinical outcomes is lacking. METHODS: In this randomized, phase 3 trial conducted at 70 sites in 17 countries, we assigned extremely preterm infants (gestational age, <28 weeks), within 6 hours after birth, to receive treatment guided by cerebral oximetry monitoring for the first 72 hours after birth or to receive usual care. The primary outcome was a composite of death or severe brain injury on cerebral ultrasonography at 36 weeks' postmenstrual age. Serious adverse events that were assessed were death, severe brain injury, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, retinopathy of prematurity, necrotizing enterocolitis, and late-onset sepsis. RESULTS: A total of 1601 infants underwent randomization and 1579 (98.6%) were evaluated for the primary outcome. At 36 weeks' postmenstrual age, death or severe brain injury had occurred in 272 of 772 infants (35.2%) in the cerebral oximetry group, as compared with 274 of 807 infants (34.0%) in the usual-care group (relative risk with cerebral oximetry, 1.03; 95% confidence interval, 0.90 to 1.18; P = 0.64). The incidence of serious adverse events did not differ between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS: In extremely preterm infants, treatment guided by cerebral oximetry monitoring for the first 72 hours after birth was not associated with a lower incidence of death or severe brain injury at 36 weeks' postmenstrual age than usual care.

Objetivo. Determinar la asociación de la velocidad de crecimiento (VC) intrahospitalaria y la fortificación de leche humana con la somatometría y el riesgo de muerte tras el alta o discapacidad grave a los 2 años de edad corregida (EC). Población y método. Análisis retrospectivo de la VC y evolución posterior. Se incluyeron los recién nacidos del período 1990-2015, con peso al nacer < 1500 g. Se excluyeron neonatos con patología que afectaba al crecimiento. Se estudió una cohorte global y dos subcohortes: los nacidos en 1990-2001 (sin fortificación) y los nacidos en 2002-2015 (fortificada). La VC se calculó según la fórmula de Fenton y se consideró adecuada si resultó > 12 g/kg/día. Resultados. Se reclutaron 1194 pacientes. La VC adecuada se asoció a mayor mediana de peso a los 2 años de EC en la cohorte global (11 400 g [10 300-12 500] versus 11 000 g [10 000-12 140], p = 0,02. La cohorte 2002-2015 alcanzó mayor talla media (86,42 ± 4,03 cm versus 85,56 ± 4,01, p = 0,02) y mayor porcentaje de prematuros que alcanzaron un crecimiento compensatorio (catch-up) a los 2 años de EC en la cohorte global con VC adecuada (62,50 % versus 34,69 %, p < 0,02). No se encontraron diferencias en el riesgo de muerte tras el alta o discapacidad grave a los 2 años de EC con VC adecuada (OR: 0,79; IC95 %: 0,47-1,12) ni al considerarse el análisis por subcohortes. Conclusiones. Una VC adecuada se asoció con mejor crecimiento, pero no con menor riesgo de muerte tras el alta o discapacidad grave. La cohorte fortificada alcanzó mayor talla media a los 2 años de EC.
Objective. To determine the association between intrahospital growth rate (GR) and breast milk fortification and somatometry, and risk for death after discharge or severe disability at 2 years of corrected age (CA). Population and method. Retrospective analysis of GR and subsequent course. Infants born in the 1990-2015 period with a birth weight < 1500 g were included. Infants with diseases affecting growth were excluded. An overall cohort and 2 sub-cohorts were studied: infants born in the 1990-2001 period (without fortification) and 2002-2015 period (with fortification). The GR was estimated and deemed adequate if > 12 g/kg/day. Results. A total of 1194 patients were recruited. An adequate GR was associated with a higher median weight at 2 years of CA in the overall cohort (11 400 g [10 300-12 500] versus 11 000 g [10 000-12 140], p = 0.02). The 2002-2015 cohort reached a higher mean height (86.42 ± 4.03 cm versus 85.56 ± 4.01, p = 0.02). More preterm infants caught-up growth at 2 years of CA in the overall cohort with an adequate GR (62.50 % versus 34.69 %, p < 0.02). No differences were observed in the risk for death after discharge or severe disability at 2 years of CA with an adequate GR (OR: 0.79; 95 % confidence interval: 0.47-1.12). Conclusions. An adequate GR was associated with improved growth, but not with a lower risk for death after discharge or severe disability. The cohort with fortified breast milk reached a higher mean height at 2 years of CA

Objective: To evaluate if the number of admitted extremely preterm (EP) infants (born before 28 weeks of gestational age) differed in the neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) of the SafeBoosC-III consortium during the global lockdown when compared to the corresponding time period in 2019. Design: This is a retrospective, observational study. Forty-six out of 79 NICUs (58%) from 17 countries participated. Principal investigators were asked to report the following information: (1) Total number of EP infant admissions to their NICU in the 3 months where the lockdown restrictions were most rigorous during the first phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, (2) Similar EP infant admissions in the corresponding 3 months of 2019, (3) the level of local restrictions during the lockdown period, and (4) the local impact of the COVID-19 lockdown on the everyday life of a pregnant woman. Results: The number of EP infant admissions during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic was 428 compared to 457 in the corresponding 3 months in 2019 (-6.6%, 95% CI -18.2 to +7.1%, p = 0.33). There were no statistically significant differences within individual geographic regions and no significant association between the level of lockdown restrictions and difference in the number of EP infant admissions. A post-hoc analysis based on data from the 46 NICUs found a decrease of 10.3%in the total number of NICU admissions (n = 7,499 in 2020 vs. n = 8,362 in 2019). Conclusion: This ad hoc study did not confirm previous reports of a major reduction in the number of extremely pretermbirths during the first phase of the COVID-19 pandemic.

ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION: This study aims to assess the efficacy of the modified kangaroo care lateral position on the thermal stability of preterm neonates versus conventional kangaroo care prone position. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A non-inferiority randomized parallel clinical trial. Kangaroo care will be performed in a lateral position for the experimental group and in a prone position for the control group preterm. The study will take place at the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of a University Hospital. The participants will be extremely premature infants (under 28 weeks of gestational age) along the first five days of life, hemodynamically stable, with mother or father willing to do kangaroo care and give their written consent to participate in the study. The sample size calculated was 35 participants in each group. When the premature infant is hemodynamically stable and one of the parents stays in the NICU, the patient will be randomized into two groups: an experimental group or a control group. The primary outcome is premature infant axillary temperature. Neonatal pain level and intraventricular hemorrhage are secondary outcomes. DISCUSSION: There is no scientific evidence on modified kangaroo care lateral position. Furthermore, there is little evidence of increased intraventricular hemorrhage association with the lateral head position necessary in conventional or prone kangaroo care in extremely premature newborns. Kangaroo care is a priority intervention in neonatal units increasing the time of use more and more, making postural changes necessary to optimize comfort and minimize risks with kangaroo care lateral position as an alternative to conventional prone position kangaroo care. Meanwhile, it is essential to ensure that the conventional kangaroo care prone position, which requires the head to lay sideways, is a safe position in terms of preventing intraventricular hemorrhage in the first five days of life of children under 28 weeks of gestational age. Trial registration at clinicaltrials.gov: NCT03990116.

Introducción: Los trastornos del comportamiento y del aprendizaje se describen con frecuencia en < 1.500 g o < 32 semanas (RNMBP/MP). Se dispone de muy poca información en población española. Objetivo: Identificar los problemas psicosociales de los RNMBP/MP mediante la aplicación del test Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) a los 6 años y comparar los resultados con los de una población de referencia. Establecer los puntos de corte para el uso del SDQ como cribado del trastorno por déficit de atención e hiperactividad (TDAH) en RNMBP/MP. Participantes y métodos: Estudio prospectivo observacional en RNMBP/MP evaluados a los 6 años con SDQ. Se recogen variables perinatales, neurodesarrollo y diagnóstico de TDAH mediante DSM-5. Resultados: Se incluyeron 214 niños con el total de las valoraciones. Comparados con la población de referencia obtuvieron puntuaciones significativamente mayores en síntomas emocionales, relaciones con compañeros y en el total del test. La escala de hiperactividad y la puntuación total se identifican como buenos predictores del diagnóstico de TDAH, con un área bajo la curva ROC de 0,83 y 0,87, respectivamente. Las puntuaciones que consiguen una adecuada sensibilidad para el cribado de TDAH son ≥ 6 para la escala de hiperactividad y ≥ 13 para la puntuación total del test, y una puntuación combinada ≥ 5 en hiperactividad junto con un total ≥ 12. Conclusiones: Los RNMBP/MP presentan más frecuentemente problemas emocionales y de relación que sus compañeros nacidos a término. El test SDQ podría utilizarse como una prueba de cribado para el TDAH
Introduction: Behavioural disorders and learning disabilities are often recognised in < 1,500g or < 32 weeks very low birth weight (VLBW) infants. There is very limited data in the Spanish population. Objective: To determine the presence of psychosocial disorders in preterm infants at 6 years of age, as assessed by the strength and difficulties (SDQ) questionnaire, in comparison to a reference population. To set a cut-off value to use SDQ as a screening tool for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in the preterm child. Participants and methods: A prospective observational study was conducted on premature children assessed at 6 years of age using the SDQ. Perinatal variables, neurodevelopment, and diagnosis of ADHD, according to the DSM-5, were collected. Results: A total of 214 children who met all the requirements, were included. When compared with the reference population they had significantly higher scores in emotional symptoms, in peer relationships, and in the total score of the test. The hyperactivity scale and the total test score are good predictors of a diagnosis of ADHD, with an area under the ROC curve of 0.83 (95% CI: 0.76-0.90) for hyperactivity, and 0.87 (95% CI: 0.80-0.93) for the total score. The scores for hyperactivity and the total test, from which the screening for ADHD could be considered positive would be ≥ 6 and ≥ 13 respectively, and a combination of hyperactivity ≥ 5 and total score ≥ 12. Conclusions: Preterm children are at higher risk of emotional and peer relationship problems than those born full term. The SDQ test could be used for ADHD screening

AIM: Validated a model that used bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), brain injuries measured using ultrasound and retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) to predict late death or disability in premature infants at seven years of age. METHODS: A retrospective study was performed at the 12 de Octubre Hospital neonatal unit in Madrid. A logistic model was applied to estimate the independent prognostic contribution of each morbidity, and the effect that the combination of morbidities had on the seven-year outcomes. The analysis was performed on the total cohort from 1991 to 2008 and on two subcohorts from 1991 to 1998 and 1999 to 2008. RESULTS: A total of 1001 children were included with a mean birth weight of 922 ± 208 g. Severe ROP was strongly associated with poor neurodevelopment, with an odds ratio (OR) 3.17 and 95% confidence interval (CI) of 1.56-6.50, and so was BPD (OR 1.52, 95% CI: 1.03-2.2). The combination of two neonatal morbidities increased the risk of a poor outcome (OR 4.44, 95% CI: 1.51-7.86). The model behaved differently in the two subcohorts. CONCLUSION: The prognostic model predicted a poor outcome at seven years of age when the subjects had at least two of the three morbidities.

AIM: This study analysed the changes in growth velocity (GV) of preterm infants weighing <1500 g based on different nutritional practices over a 24-year period. METHODS: A retrospective study with prospectively collected data was performed in a level three Spanish neonatal intensive care unit. Data on birthweight, gestational age (GA) and GV were collected from 1990 to 2013 and breastfeeding data were gathered from 2000. A generalised linear model corrected by GA and small for gestational age was applied. Multiple mean comparisons between the levels of the variables of interest were performed using the Tukey test. RESULTS: We included 1651 children in the study. The average GA in 1990-1991 was 30.48 ± 2.89 and the average GA in 2012-2013 was 28.79 ± 2.58 (p < 0.01). Significant differences were found when we compared the adjusted GV between the first and last study periods. The most important differences appeared between 1990 and 2013, when the GV increased by 3.27 ± 0.5 g/kg/day (p < 0.01). The breastfeeding rate in 2000-2001 was 47.95% and in 2012-2013 it was 73.58% (p = 0.0002). CONCLUSION: Introducing nutritional practices such as the increased use of breastmilk and the breastfeeding rate improved GV over the study period.
