Though sick newborns often require urgent blood transfusions, there is lack of access to suitable blood products, especially in emergent situations.

Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Belly Syndrome: Challenges of a Changing ParadigmIn extreme preterm infants, early use of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) for respiratory support reduces the incidence of chronic lung disease. However, as a sequel, inadvertent passage of air into the gastrointestinal tract leads to abdominal distension often with visibly dilated loops. The first description of “CPAP belly syndrome” in 1992, originates from the study in premature infants weighing less than 1,000 g and managed on nasal CPAP. Full Text
