Thank you for reviewing our trial!!
Extubation failure occurs in over half of extremely preterm infants extubated to standard CPAP levels but drops to about one-third when using higher CPAP levels of 10 cm H2O. This simple adjustment could substantially reduce reintubation and improve respiratory outcomes in these vulnerable babies.

Wow! What a way to start the new year after a break from social media!
The ÈCLAT trial took a village! The work supporting respiratory support for preterm infants isn’t over yet! We only scratched the surface 🫁 🌟
Congrats to the ECLAT trial - voted the 2023 Impact Article of the Year!
How did this trial impact your practice?

For a 22 week 400g infant intubated in the delivery room, with minimal oxygen requirement, normal blood gases, spontaneous respiratory effort and no other major contraindications, I would attempt extubation:
17%In the first 24 hrs
39%24 hrs - 1 week of age
32%1-3 weeks of age
12%Not for at least a month

I’m obviously very biased as respiratory care is my flavour of choice but… FANTASTIC start to an exciting series 🫁 👶
🎙️ Exciting News! 🌟 The Incubator Podcast is thrilled to announce our new mini-series: "Managing Respiratory Distress: Flow and Pressure." Where we discuss the new evidence in the management of respiratory distress in critically ill newborns 🫁
A huge shoutout to @fphcare for their generous sponsorship, making this series possible! 👏

Working in the NICU is both a privilege and a reminder of the resilience of tiny humans. World Prematurity Day is a day to celebrate progress, support families, and reflect on global awareness about research, the challenges faced by preterm infants and their families.
Well done @NeoAnup! Thorough and thought provoking research. A further step towards understanding appropriate cord management at birth! “There was no difference in the rates of severe IVH or death. UCM may be a safe alternative to DCC in premature infants born at 28 to 32 weeks”
Our paper is finally published! @Research4Babies @Ilcor_org @ACOGPregnancy @KapadiaNeo @natetexsun @EBNEO publications.aap.org/pediatr…

New RCT: Extubation of extremely #preterm infants to higher nCPAP significantly reduced extubation failure vs standard nCPAP, without increasing rates of adverse effects

WOW! What a few days! Thank you kindly again to everyone for the comments and thought provoking discussions following the publication of our clinical trial ÉCLAT! One more time here is an easy access link: 🌟 authors.elsevier.com/c/1h~rR… 🌟
Some thoughts from our many discussions… 🧵
💬Thank you again to the 🌟 team @drbretty @roseandtoby @Atul_Monash Dr Bhatia, Prof. Davis, Dr Donath & Dr Beker.

We are so excited to share our anticipated published results of ÉCLAT. We compared higher nCPAP pressures to standard pressures in extremely preterm infants. A Thread…🧵 1/10
