Diagnostic errors in the neonatal intensive care unit: state of the science and new directions.
In this narrative review, the authors discuss how the concept of diagnostic errors framed as missed opportunities can be applied to the non-linear nature of diagnosis in a critical care environment such as the NICU. They then explore how the etiology of an error in diagnosis can be related to both individual cognitive factors as well as organizational and systemic factors - all of which often contribute to the error.

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.
