Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Annually, approximately 13–26 million newborns worldwide need respiratory support immediately after birth, and another 2–3 million newborns need extensive resuscitation including chest compressions and drug administration. Despite a significant increase in knowledge and enhanced therapy strategies over the past few years, there is still a high incidence of mortality and neurologic morbidity in those patients. Therefore, further research is highly warranted, aiming at supporting or introducing novel therapies or concepts in the area of the stabilization and resuscitation of preterm and term newborns. Current hot topics in the field include initial ventilation strategies, (difficult) airway management, oxygen titration, the timing of umbilical cord clamping, body temperature control, cardio-circulatory support such as chest compressions, vascular access, and emergency medication, and post-resuscitation care. Another crucial topic is neonatal resuscitation education, including simulation-based training, to improve patient safety and clinical outcomes.
Considering the success and popularity of the Special Issues “Stabilization and Resuscitation of Newborns (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/children/special_issues/Stabilization_Resuscitation_Newborns)” and “Stabilization and Resuscitation of Newborns: 2nd Edition (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/children/special_issues/Stabilization_Resuscitation_Newborns_Volume_2)”, previously published in the journal Children, we are now releasing the 3rd Edition, aiming at gathering original research papers and review articles focused on the stabilization and resuscitation of preterm and term infants. In this Special Issue of Children, senior investigators are welcome to invite mentees and colleagues to co-author submissions under their supervision. We look forward to receiving your contributions.
