Associations between family presence and neonatal intubation outcomes: a report from the National Emergency Airway Registry for Neonates: NEAR4NEOS.
This study looked at whether the presence of family members had an impact on neonatal tracheal intubation (TI) outcomes. This retrospective analysis looked at TIs performed in NICUs participating in the National Emergency Airway Registry for Neonates (NEAR4NEOS) at 13 academic NICUS from October 2014 to December 2017. Family members were present in less than 10% of TIs, but this varied by site. Success rates were not significantly different, with the first attempt success rate at 55% with family present versus 49% and success within 2 attempts was 74% versus 66%. Adverse TI-associated events (TIAEs) were 17% versus 20% and severe oxygen desaturation was 49% versus 52%. No independent association between any of these outcomes was found with family presence.

Premedication with neuromuscular blockade and sedation during neonatal intubation is associated with fewer adverse events.
This study assessed the impact of using sedation with neuromuscular blockade in non-emergency tracheal intubation of neonates. The retrospective cohort was from infants in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) participating the National Emergency Airway Registry for Neonates from 2014 to 2017. There was less adverse events associated with use of the neuromuscular blockade premedication.

Neonatal intubation practice and outcomes: an international registry study.
Neonatal tracheal intubation is a critical but potentially dangerous procedure. In this study, the investigators sought to characterize intubation practice and outcomes in the NICU and delivery room (DR) settings and to identify potentially modifiable factors to improve neonatal intubation safety. They developed the National Emergency Airway Registry for Neonates and collected standardized data for patients, providers, practices, and outcomes of neonatal intubation. They suggest that their results will inform future interventional studies to improve neonatal intubation safety.
