Pain Management in Newborns
Hall R.W., et al. Clinics in Perinatology. 2014.

Attributable cost and length of stay for central line-associated bloodstream infections
Goudie A., et al. Pediatrics. 2014.
Some studies suggest using central lines for patients needing frequent heel sticks. However, institutions may limit central line draws for CO2 monitoring due to associated risks. This study found that CLABSIs lead to about a 30-day longer hospital stay and an additional $90,000 in costs per patient.
Frequent tracheal suctioning is associated with extubation failure in patients with successful spontaneous breathing trial: a single-center retrospective cohort study
Haruna, J. et al. Journal of Anesthesia Clinical Reports. 2022.
In a single-center retrospective study of ICU patients intubated for over 72 hours and extubated after a spontaneous breathing trial, nearly 13% experienced reintubation. The main cause was difficulty in sputum excretion (66.7%).
