Randomized Controlled Trial
Immediate skin-to-skin contact versus care under radiant warmer at birth in moderate to late preterm neonates- A randomized controlled trial.
To compare the effect of immediate care at birth in skin-to-skin contact (SSC) or under a radiant warmer on cardiorespiratory stability at 60 minutes of age in moderate-to-late preterm neonates. ⋯ It was feasible to provide immediate care at birth in moderate and late preterm neonates while being positioned in SSC with the mother. However, in comparison to care under a radiant warmer, this did not lead to better cardiorespiratory stability at 60 minutes of age.

Observational Study
Association between the relationship of bystander and neurologic recovery in pediatric out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
This study aimed to evaluate whether the relationship between bystanders and victims is associated with neurological outcomes in paediatric out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). ⋯ Paediatric OHCAs had no significant difference between good neurological recovery and the relationship of bystander.

Observational Study
Influence of donor capnometry on renal graft evolution in uncontrolled donation after circulatory death.
To analyse the association between donor capnometry data and the short-term evolution of kidney grafts in cases of uncontrolled donation after circulatory death (uDCD). ⋯ Capnometry levels at transfer are a useful predictor of the short-term function and viability of kidney transplants from uncontrolled donations after circulatory death.

To assess whether there were differences in resuscitation efforts and outcomes for medical intensive care unit (MICU) in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) during the COVID-19 pandemic when compared to pre-pandemic. ⋯ It is imperative that COVID-19 patients receive unbiased and unrestricted resuscitation measures, without any discouragement.

To investigate the effect of tandem use of transient balloon occlusion of the descending aorta (AO) and percutaneous left ventricular assist device (pl-VAD) during cardiopulmonary resuscitation in a large animal model of prolonged cardiac arrest. ⋯ Combined AO and pL-VAD improved CPR hemodynamics compared to either intervention alone in this swine model of prolonged cardiac arrest.
