2022 Eastern Regional Meeting

ABSTRACT

The proceedings contain 292 papers. The topics discussed include the hemodynamic benefits of brief 100% oxygen use during preterm resuscitation with an intact umbilical cord using asphyxiated and non-asphyxiated surfactant deficient ovine model;initial use of 100% but not 60% or 30% oxygen achieved a target heart rate of 100 and preductal saturations of 80% faster in a bradycardic preterm model;randomized trial of preductal target SPO2 of 90-94% vs. 95-99% in neonatal ovine hypoxic respiratory failure;side vs over-the-head chest compressions in neonates does rescuer height alter efficacy?;initiating resuscitation with chest compressions and ventilation in a neonatal cardiac arrest model significantly reduced the time to establish return of spontaneous circulation;utility of emergent magnetic resonance imaging in children with persistent traumatic neck pain without radiographic injury;and high-risk markers and infection rates in febrile infants aged 29-60 days presenting to the emergency department during the COVID-19 pandemic compared with previous years.
