    Abstract Unintended endobronchial placement is a common complication of neonatal tracheal intubation and a threat to patient safety, but it has received little attention towards decreasing its incidence and mitigating associated harms. We report on the key aspects of a long-term project in which we applied principles of patient safety to design and implement safeguards and establish a safety culture, aiming to decrease the rate of deep intubation (beyond T3) in neonates to <10%. Results from 5745 consecutive intubations revealed a 47% incidence of deep tube placement at baseline, which decreased to 10-15% after initial interventions and remained in the 9-20% range for the past 15 years; concurrently, rates of deep intubation at referring institutions have remained high. Root cause analyses revealed multiple contributing factors, so countermeasures specifically aimed at improving intubation safety should be applied before, during, and immediately after tube insertion. Extensive literature review, concordant with our experience, suggests that pre-specifying the expected tube depth before intubation is the most effective and simple intervention, although further research is needed to establish accurate and accepted standards for estimating the expected depth. Presently, team training on intubation safety, plus possible technological advances, offer additional options for safer neonatal intubations.

    Abstract Background: Data on neonatal tracheal length are needed to inform the standardization of safety features for endotracheal tubes (ETTs) such as glottic depth markings. Laryngotracheal airway measurements are available from digital imaging in infants and children but not in neonates. We aimed to determine the tracheal length (TL) of intubated preterm and term neonates.
    Methods: An observational study was performed on 57 neonates of 22-42 weeks' gestation and <1 week of age. Two clinicians independently reviewed 153 digital chest radiographs to determine the carina position and TL. TL was measured from carina to mid-C4 (cricoid level). We analyzed interrater agreement (within 0.5 vertebral levels) on the position of the carina and TL. TL was plotted as a function of gestational age and weight, using graphical and regression analyses.
    Results: Carina position ranged from T3 to T5.5, with an interrater agreement of 95%. On image pairs concordant for carina position, TL determinations were virtually identical between readers (mean difference 0.1 mm, 95% CI -0.5-0.6 mm). Average mid-tracheal length overlies the body of T1. In infants aged less than 32 weeks' gestation, the mid-trachea lies <20 mm from the carina or the larynx. TL linearly correlates with gestational age, but correlation with birthweight best fits a segmented regression with a node at 1 kg.
    Conclusions: The functional length of the laryngotracheal airway can be reliably measured in sick neonates. It correlates well with gestational age and birthweight, and this information can inform the redesign of ETT markings to promote the safer use of these devices.

    Abstract Positive pressure ventilation (PPV) is crucial to neonatal cardiopulmonary resuscitation because respiratory failure precedes cardiac failure in newborns affected by perinatal asphyxia. Prolonged ineffective PPV could lead to a need for advanced resuscitation such as intubation, chest compression, and epinephrine. Every 30 s delay in initiation of PPV increased the risk of death or morbidity by 16%. The most effective interface for providing PPV in the early phases of resuscitation is still unclear. Laryngeal masks (LMs) are supraglottic airway devices that provide less invasive and relatively stable airway access without the need for laryngoscopy which have been studied as an alternative to face masks and endotracheal tubes in the initial stages of neonatal resuscitation. A meta-analysis found that LM is a safe and more effective alternative to face mask ventilation in neonatal resuscitation. LM is recommended as an alternative secondary airway device for the resuscitation of infants > 34 weeks by the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation. It is adopted by various national neonatal resuscitation guidelines across the globe. Recent good-quality randomized trials have enhanced our understanding of the utility of laryngeal masks in low-resource settings. Nevertheless, LM is underutilized due to its variable availability in delivery rooms, providers’ limited experience, insufficient training, preference for endotracheal tube, and lack of awareness.

    Abstract Objective: To evaluate the possible noninferiority of surfactant administration via laryngeal mask airway (LMA) vs endotracheal tube (ETT) in avoiding the requirement for mechanical ventilation in preterm neonates with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS).
    Study design: This was a randomized controlled trial including infants born at 27 to 36 weeks of gestation, >800 g, diagnosed with RDS and receiving fraction of inspired oxygen 0.30-0.60 via noninvasive respiratory support. Infants were randomized to surfactant via LMA (with atropine premedication) or ETT (InSuRE approach with atropine and remifentanil premedication). Primary outcome was failure of surfactant treatment to prevent the need for mechanical ventilation.
    Results: Patients were randomized, 51 to LMA and 42 to the ETT group. Both groups had similar baseline characteristics, with birth weights ranging from 810 to 3560 g. Failure rate was 29% in the ETT group and 20% in the LMA group (P = .311). This difference was due to early failures (within 1 hour), with 12.5% in the ETT group and 2% in the LMA group (P = .044). Surfactant therapy via LMA was non-inferior to administration via ETT; failure risk difference -9.0% (CI -∞ to 5.7%). Efficacy in decreasing fraction of inspired oxygen, number of surfactant doses administered, time to wean off all respiratory support, rates of adverse events, and outcomes including pneumothorax and BPD diagnosis did not differ between groups.
    Conclusions: Surfactant therapy via LMA was noninferior to administration via ETT and it decreased early failures, possibly by avoiding adverse effects of premedication, laryngoscopy, and intubation. These characteristics make LMA a desirable conduit for surfactant administration.

    Abstract Background: Unplanned extubations (UEs) occur frequently in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). These events can be associated with serious short-term and long-term morbidities and increased healthcare costs. Most quality improvement (QI) initiatives focused on UE prevention have concentrated efforts within individual NICUs.
    Methods: We formed a regional QI collaborative involving the four regional perinatal center (RPC) NICUs in upstate New York to reduce UEs. The collaborative promoted shared learning and targeted interventions specific to UE classification at each center.
    Results: There were 1167 UEs overall during the four-year project. Following implementation of one or more PDSA cycles, the combined UE rate decreased by 32% from 3.7 to 2.5 per 100 ventilator days across the collaborative. A special cause variation was observed for the subtype of UEs involving removed endotracheal tubes (rETTs), but not for dislodged endotracheal tubes (dETTs). The center-specific UE rates varied; only two centers observed significant improvement.
    Conclusions: A collaborative approach promoted knowledge sharing and fostered an overall improvement, although the individual centers' successes varied. Frequent communication and shared learning experiences benefited all the participants, but local care practices and varying degrees of QI experience affected each center's ability to successfully implement potentially better practices to prevent UEs.

    Abstract Background: Research on the effects of maternal obesity on neonates has focused on clinical outcomes. Despite growing interest in obesity as a driver of healthcare expenditure, the financial impact of maternal obesity in the neonatal setting is little understood.
    Objective: To determine if maternal obesity is associated with higher incurred costs in NICU and full-term nursery.
    Methods: Data for all live births (1/1/14-12/31/19) at our academic medical center was obtained from the New York State Perinatal Data System for infants >23 weeks gestational age. Financial data was obtained from the hospital's cos
    Results: Of the 11,610 pregnancies in this retrospective study, obese mothers more frequently had other risk factors (smoke, pre-pregnancy and gestational diabetes, and pre-pregnancy and gestational hypertension). Infants born to obese mothers were more often preterm, had Cesarean delivery, lower APGAR scores, required assisted ventilation in the delivery room, and required NICU admission. Adjusting for maternal risk factors, infants born to obese mothers were less frequently preterm (OR 0.82 [0.74-0.91],
    Conclusions: Maternal obesity correlates with other risk factors. Prolonged maternal stay may explain increased LOS and costs in the full-term nursery for infants born to obese mothers, as infants wait to be discharged with mothers.

    Abstract Continuous improvement in the clinical performance of neonatal intensive care units (NICU) depends on the use of locally relevant, reliable data. However, neonatal databases with these characteristics are typically unavailable in NICUs using paper-based records, while in those using electronic records, the inaccuracy of data and the inability to customize commercial data systems limit their usability for quality improvement or research purposes. We describe the characteristics and uses of a simple, neonatologist-centered data system that has been successfully maintained for 30 years, with minimal resources and serving multiple purposes, including quality improvement, administrative, research support and educational functions. Structurally, our system comprises customized paper and electronic components, while key functional aspects include the attending-based recording of diagnoses, integration into clinical workflows, multilevel data accuracy and validation checks, and periodic reporting on both data quality and NICU performance results. We provide examples of data validation methods and trends observed over three decades, and discuss essential elements for the successful implementation of this system. This database is reliable and easily maintained; it can be developed from simple paper-based forms or used to supplement the functionality and end-user customizability of existing electronic medical records. This system should be readily adaptable to NICUs in either high- or limited-resource environments.
