        Contemporary models of NICU care emphasize the critical role of parents in supporting their infant's development. Fathers play an important, but underutilized, role throughout their infant's NICU journey. This narrative review describes the main direct and indirect mechanisms through which fathers support the development of their NICU infant, and the barriers and facilitators to this support as described in current research. ...

        Epidemiology and Outcomes of Neonatal Sepsis: Experience from a Tertiary Australian NICU

        Neonatal sepsis is associated with significant mortality and morbidity. Low-middle-income countries are disproportionately affected, but late-onset sepsis still occurs in up to 20% of infants <28 weeks in high-income countries. Understanding site-specific data is vital to guide management.  ...

        The Physicochemical Compatibility of Sildenafil Injection with Parenteral Medications Used in Neonatal Intensive Care Settings

        Sildenafil is used to treat pulmonary hypertension in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) settings. As multiple intravenous (IV) medications are co-administered in NICU settings, we sought to investigate the physicochemical compatibility of sildenafil with a range of IV drugs. ...

        Early versus late parenteral nutrition in term and late preterm infants: study protocol for a randomised controlled trial

        Despite the wide use of parenteral nutrition (PN) in neonatal intensive care units (NICU), there is limited evidence regarding the optimal time to commence PN in term and late preterm infants. ...

        Neonatal Staphylococcus Aureus Sepsis: a 20-year Western Australian experience

        The purpose of this study was to characterise neonatal Staphylococcus aureus (SA) sepsis in Western Australia (WA) between 2001 and 2020 at the sole tertiary neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), examine risk factors for sepsis in the cohort, and compare short- and long-term outcomes to control infants without any sepsis. ...

        Parenteral nutrition (PN) for preterm and term infants

        When to start and how much parenteral (intravenous nutrition) is best for the health, growth and development of very preterm, late preterm and sick term infants is being determined. These infants are unable to feed orally due to severe illness or ...

        Respiratory syncytial virus is present in the neonatal intensive care unit

        The results suggest that though the risk for RSV in the NICU remains low, personnel clothing are contaminated with RSV-RNA and may have a role in transmission ...

        The relationship between pitch contours in infant-directed speech and early signs of autism in infancy

        Mother-infant interactions during the first year of life are crucial to healthy infant development. The infant-directed speech (IDS), and specifically pitch contours, used by mothers during interactions are associated with infant language and social development. ...

        Health service utilisation for acute respiratory infections in infants graduating from the neonatal intensive care unit: a population-based cohort study

        Despite advances in neonatal intensive care, babies admitted to Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU) suffer from adverse outcomes. We aim to describe the longer-term respiratory infectious morbidity of infants discharged from NICU using state-wide population-based linked data in Western Australia. ...
