Randomized Controlled Trial
Sucrose vs. skin to skin care for preterm neonatal pain control-a randomized control trial.
To compare the efficacy of SSC with oral Sucrose for pain management in preterm neonates. ⋯ SSC and Sucrose have comparable efficacy in managing pain in premature neonates.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Umbilical cord milking for neonates who are depressed at birth: a randomized trial of feasibility.
To evaluate the feasibility and safety of umbilical cord milking (UCM) in neonates who are depressed at birth. ⋯ UCM is feasible for term and late preterm infants who are depressed at birth. A larger clinical trial is needed to evaluate long-term benefits of UCM in neonates with HIE.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
A randomized controlled trial: does coaching using video during direct laryngoscopy improve residents' success in neonatal intubations?
To evaluate the intubation success rates of residents who receive coaching from supervisors concurrently viewing infants' airways via video during direct laryngoscopy (VDL), as compared with coaching during traditional direct laryngoscopy without video (TDL). ⋯ Resident coaching using VDL improved neonatal intubation success rates. Incorporating VDL as a coaching tool can optimize the quality of training during limited opportunities to achieve procedural competency and improve intubation-related patient outcomes.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Mind the gap: can videolaryngoscopy bridge the competency gap in neonatal endotracheal intubation among pediatric trainees? a randomized controlled study.
To study the impact of videolaryngoscopy (VL) on intubation success among pediatric trainees compared with direct laryngoscopy (DL). ⋯ VL increased the success of endotracheal intubation by pediatric residents in simulation, with skills transferrable to DL.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Sudden versus gradual pressure wean from Nasal CPAP in preterm infants: a randomized controlled trial.
In preterm infants, nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) is widely used for treatment of respiratory distress syndrome. However, the strategies for successfully weaning infants off NCPAP are still not well defined and there remains considerable variation between the methods. The objective of this study is to determine whether gradual weaning of NCPAP pressure is more successful than sudden weaning off NCPAP to room air. ⋯ Gradual weaning method was more successful as compared to sudden weaning method in the initial trial off NCPAP. There was no difference in the PMA, weight at the time of successful wean, total days on NCPAP and LOS between the two groups.
