Has anybody tried incorporating NAVA into a respiratory severity score (RSS) outcome or something similar? Seems some sites don't record MAP from the vent in their electronic medical records when on NAVA and not as intuitive calculating since PIP and rate vary

I am concerned about how advocates for NIRS in neonatal care (believers) are pushing its use, in spite of recent evidence that does not support its use. I hope some authoritative body issues a statement to promote evidence-based NIRS use (non-use) to counter-balance these forces.

Arguably one of the more important commentaries in the past year for #neoEBM and #NeoTwitter. A reminder that it's not just the evidence, it's how we process it. Consider the following extracts, then see the last two paragraphs of article for some practical mitigation recs.

Among neonates undergoing urgent endotracheal intubation, video laryngoscopy resulted in a greater number of successful intubations on the first attempt than direct laryngoscopy. #PAS2024 #neoEBM #neoTwitter

If you look back at all the research and experience in Neonatology over the past 30 years, what is the main message that emerges? IMO it is “Less is More”. We used to think that more intervention is better, and more aggressive, earlier interventions are better. Instead we have

N. Ambalavanan Am not sure about the title of the talk, the objectives and the audience. But IMO the key high-level problems with BPD to be highlighted are 1. We are continuing to use a definition based on the treatment given, not on the disease pathology or pathophysiology. 2. The certainty
