Association between video laryngoscopy and adverse tracheal intubation-associated events in the neonatal intensive care unit.
The purpose of this single-site retrospective cohort study was to consider the possible effect of video laryngoscopy on adverse events during neonatal tracheal intubation. The researchers conclude that video laryngoscopy was independently associated with decreased risk for adverse events.

Expert consensus to weight an adherence score for audit and feedback of practices that prevent necrotizing enterocolitis in very low birth weight infants.
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a catastrophic abdominal complication threatening the life of premature infants, but adoption of prevention and early recognition practices differs as do NEC rates in Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs). The purpose of this research was to validate and weight an evidence-based adherence score (aka NEC-Zero Adherence Score) to prevent and foster timely recognition of NEC.

Changing the paradigm of defining, detecting, and diagnosing NEC: perspectives on Bell's stages and biomarkers for NEC.
This article provides reasons why a better global definition for necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is needed and offers a simple alternative bedside definition for preterm NEC called the "Two out of Three" rule.
