      Olson, Linus; Bui, Xuan Anh; Mpamize, Allan; Vu, Hien; Nankunda, Jolly Kaharuza; Truong, Tung Thanh; Byamugisha, Josaphat; Dempsey, Tina; Lubulwa, Clare; Winroth, Axel; Helldén, Daniel; Nguyen, Anh Duy; Alfvén, Tobias; Pejovic, Nicolas; Höök, Susanna Myrnerts (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Background: The quality of neonatal resuscitation after delivery needs to be improved to reach the Sustainable Development Goals 3.2 (reducing neonatal deaths to <12/1,000 live newborns) by the year 2030. Studies have ...
    • Neonatal resuscitation practices in Uganda: a video observational study 

      Helldén, Daniel; Höök, Susanna Myrnerts; Pejovic, Nicolas; McLellan, Dan; Lubulwa, Clare; Tylleskär, Thorkild; Alfvén, Tobias (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Background Neonatal mortality, often due to birth asphyxia, remains stubbornly high in sub-Saharan Africa. Guidelines for neonatal resuscitation, where achieving adequate positive pressure ventilation (PPV) is key, have ...
    • Neonatal resuscitation using a supraglottic airway device for improved mortality and morbidity outcomes in a low-income country: Study protocol for a randomized trial 

      Pejovic, Nicolas; Höök, Susanna Myrnerts; Byamugisha, Josaphat; Alfvén, Tobias; Lubulwa, Clare; Cavallin, Francesco; Nankunda, Jolly Kaharuza; Ersdal, Hege Langli; Segafredo, Giulia; Blennow, Mats; Trevisanuto, Daniele; Tylleskär, Thorkild (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-07-19)
      Background: Intrapartum-related death is the third leading cause of under-5 mortality. Effective ventilation during neonatal resuscitation has the potential to reduce 40% of these deaths. Face-mask ventilation performed ...
    • Outcome of infants with 10 min Apgar scores of 0-1 in a low-resource setting 

      Tylleskär, Thorkild; Cavallin, Francesco; Höök, Susanna Myrnerts; Pejovic, Nicolas; Lubulwa, Clare; Byamugisha, Josaphat; Nankunda, Jolly; Trevisanuto, Daniele (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Background In high-resource settings, postponing the interruption of cardiopulmonary resuscitation from 10 to 20 min after birth has been recently suggested, but data from low-resource settings are lacking. We investigated ...
    • Oxygen saturation after birth in resuscitated neonates in Uganda: A video-based observational study 

      Larsson, Mårten; Höök, Susanna Myrnerts; Mpamize, Allan; Tylleskär, Thorkild; Lubulwa, Clare; Trevisanuto, Daniele; Elfving, Kristina; Pejovic, Nicolas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Background Monitoring of peripheral capillary oxygen saturation (SpO2) during neonatal resuscitation is standard of care in high-resource settings, but seldom performed in low-resource settings. We aimed to measure SpO2 ...
    • A randomized trial of laryngeal mask airway in neonatal resuscitation 

      Pejovic, Nicolas; Höök, Susanna Myrnerts; Byamugisha, Josaphat; Alfvén, Tobias; Lubulwa, Clare; Cavallin, Francesco; Nankunda, Jolly; Ersdal, Hege Langli; Blennow, Mats; Trevisanuto, Daniele; Tylleskär, Thorkild (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Background: Face-mask ventilation is the most common resuscitation method for birth asphyxia. Ventilation with a cuffless laryngeal mask airway (LMA) has potential advantages over face-mask ventilation during neonatal ...
    • Respiratory monitoring during neonatal resuscitation using a supraglottic airway device vs. a face mask 

      Pejovic, Nicolas; Cavallin, Francesco; Mpamize, Allan; Lubulwa, Clare; Höök, Susanna Myrnerts; Byamugisha, Josaphat; Nankunda, Jolly; Tylleskär, Thorkild; Trevisanuto, Daniele (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Objective To evaluate the respiratory function of asphyxiated infants resuscitated with i-gel supraglottic airway (SGA) vs. face mask (FM) in a low-resource setting. Methods In this sub-study from the NeoSupra trial, ...
    • Smartphone app for neonatal heart rate assessment: an observational study 

      Höök, Susanna Myrnerts; Pejovic, Nicolas; Cavallin, Francesco; Lubulwa, Clare; Byamugisha, Josaphat; Nankunda, Jolly Kaharuza; Tylleskär, Thorkild; Alfven, Tobias (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Background: Heart rate (HR) assessment is crucial in neonatal resuscitation, but pulse oximetry (PO) and electrocardiography (ECG) are rarely accessible in low-resource to middle-resource settings. This study evaluated a ...
