Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Neonatal resuscitation and intensive care are essential for preventing neonatal death and adverse long-term neurodevelopmental impairments. Approximately 85% of full-term neonates initiate spontaneous respirations; <10% require advanced resuscitation measures such as positive-pressure ventilation, intubation and chest compression with or without adrenaline to initiate and support breathing and transition to the extrauterine life. Over the past decades, significant advances in all aspects of neonatal care have led to the improved survival of nonates, especially those born before 28 weeks gestation. There has also been a paradigm shift toward providing active care to neonates born at or below 23 weeks gestation. However, inspite of these advances, clinicians face many challenges when caring for unwell neonates right from resuscitation to hospital admission and follow-up care after discharge.
This Special Issue aims to describe the current advances in research on neonatal resuscitation and intensive care for preterm and full-term neonates. We are inviting research from various backgrounds such as animal studies, bench studies and human research that can contribute to advancing knowledge and/clinical care around neonatal resuscitation and intensive care.
