Harmony of Research, Medical Technology and Clinical Care in Providing Individualized Treatment
This case study follows a 25-week infant transferred to the N/IICU at CHOP at 4 months for further management by the Newborn and Infant Chronic Lung Disease Program. The patient underwent right upper lobectomy and tracheostomy placement.
Laparotomy vs. Drainage for ELBW Infants with NEC or IP
A multicenter randomized trial of laparotomy vs. drainage as the initial surgical therapy for extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants with necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) or isolated intestinal perforation (IP): outcomes at 18-22 months adjusted age.
Neonatal Craniofacial Research
Research is integral to the Neonatal Craniofacial Program, as we work to develop a broad, evidence-based approach to the diagnosis, treatment and management of craniofacial disorders.
Neonatal Liquid Ventilation
A clinical trial (FFLOAT) evaluating the safety of neonatal liquid ventilation seeks to change the outlook for premature infants with severe chronic lung disease.
Neonatal Research Publications
Physicians and researchers from the Division of Neonatology at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia are regular contributors to clinical publications.
Neonatology Research
Physicians and scientists from the Division of Neonatology at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia continue to lead basic and clinical research into many conditions affecting newborns and infants.
PCR, CSF and Bacterial Meningitis
Research on the impact of bacterial polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cytokine levels on the diagnosis of bacterial meningitis in infants.
Support for Short Bowel Syndrome Goes Beyond the N/IICU
This case study highlights the care of an infant transferred to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia for immediate and long-term management of his necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) that led to short bowel syndrome (SBS), one of the most devastating complications of prematurity.
