Observational StudyPoint-of-Care Ultrasound in Sternal Notch Confirms Depth of Endotracheal Tube in Children.
To determine if a saline-filled cuff seen at the suprasternal notch on ultrasound corresponds to correct endotracheal tube depth on a chest radiograph (tip at/below clavicle AND ≥ 1 cm above carina). ⋯ Visualization of the cuff at the suprasternal notch by ultrasound demonstrates potential as a means of confirming correct depth of the endotracheal tube following endotracheal intubation.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudyHypothermia Plus Melatonin in Asphyctic Newborns: A Randomized-Controlled Pilot Study.
To investigate the effect of adding melatonin to hypothermia treatment on neurodevelopmental outcomes in asphyctic newborns. ⋯ The early addition of IV melatonin to asphyctic neonates is feasible and may improve long-term neurodevelopment. To our knowledge, this is the first clinical trial to analyze the administration of IV melatonin as an adjuvant therapy to therapeutic hypothermia.
