Abstract
Surfactant is a pivotal neonatal drug used both for respiratory distress syndrome due to surfactant deficiency and for more complex surfactant dysfunctions (such as in case of neonatal acute respiratory distress syndrome). Despite its importance, indications for surfactant therapy are often based on oversimplified criteria. Lung biology and modern monitoring provide several diagnostic tools to assess the patient surfactant status and they can be used for a personalized surfactant therapy. This is desirable to improve the efficacy of surfactant treatment and reduce associated costs and side effects. In this review we will discuss these diagnostic tools from a pathophysiological and multi-disciplinary perspective, focusing on the quantitative or qualitative surfactant assays, lung mechanics or aeration measurements, and gas exchange metrics. Their biological and technical characteristics are described with practical information for clinicians. Finally, available evidence-based data are reviewed, and the diagnostic accuracy of the different tools is compared. Lung ultrasound seems the most suitable tool for assessing the surfactant status, while some other promising tests require further research and/or development.

Abstract
Data is lacking on the effect of continuous intravenous sildenafil treatment in preterm infants with early pulmonary hypertension (PH), especially in very low birth weight (VLBW) infants. Preterm infants (< 37 weeks of gestational age) with intravenous sildenafil treatment and diagnosis of PH between 01/12 and 12/21 were retrospectively screened for analysis. The primary clinical endpoint was defined as response to sildenafil according to the improvement of the oxygenation index (OI), the saturation oxygenation pressure index (SOPI) and PaO2/FiO2-ratio. Early-PH was defined as diagnosis < 28 day of life (DOL). 58 infants were finally included, with 47% classified as very low birth weight (VLBW) infants. The primary endpoint was reached in 57%. The likelihood to die during in-hospital treatment was more than three times higher (72 vs 21%, p < 0.001) in infants without response to sildenafil. The echocardiographic severity of PH and right-ventricular dysfunction (RVD) decreased significantly from baseline to 24 h (p = 0.045, and p = 0.008, respectively). Sildenafil treatment leads to significant improvement of the oxygenation impairment in 57% of the preterm infants, with similar response rates in VLBW infants. Intravenous sildenafil treatment is associated with a significant decrease of the PH-severity and RVD.

Novel approaches to capturing and using continuous cardiorespiratory physiological data in hospitalized children. Pediatr Res 2023; 93:396-404.

Abstract
Continuous cardiorespiratory physiological monitoring is a cornerstone of care in hospitalized children. The data generated by monitoring devices coupled with machine learning could transform the way we provide care. This scoping review summarizes existing evidence on novel approaches to continuous cardiorespiratory monitoring in hospitalized children. We aimed to identify opportunities for the development of monitoring technology and the use of machine learning to analyze continuous physiological data to improve the outcomes of hospitalized children. We included original research articles published on or after January 1, 2001, involving novel approaches to collect and use continuous cardiorespiratory physiological data in hospitalized children. OVID Medline, PubMed, and Embase databases were searched. We screened 2909 articles and performed full-text extraction of 105 articles. We identified 58 articles describing novel devices or approaches, which were generally small and single-center. In addition, we identified 47 articles that described the use of continuous physiological data in prediction models, but only 7 integrated multidimensional data (e.g., demographics, laboratory results). We identified three areas for development: (1) further validation of promising novel devices; (2) more studies of models integrating multidimensional data with continuous cardiorespiratory data; and (3) further dissemination, implementation, and validation of prediction models using continuous cardiorespiratory data. IMPACT: We performed a comprehensive scoping review of novel approaches to capture and use continuous cardiorespiratory physiological data for monitoring, diagnosis, providing care, and predicting events in hospitalized infants and children, from novel devices to machine learning-based prediction models. We identified three key areas for future development: (1) further validation of promising novel devices; (2) more studies of models integrating multidimensional data with continuous cardiorespiratory data; and (3) further dissemination, implementation, and validation of prediction models using cardiorespiratory data.

Abstract
Continuous positive airway pressure and surfactant represent the first- and second-line treatment for respiratory distress syndrome in preterm neonates, as European and American guidelines, since 2013 and 2014, respectively, started to recommend surfactant replacement only when continuous positive airway pressure fails. These recommendations, however, are not personalized to the individual physiopathology. Simple clinical algorithms may have improved the diffusion of neonatal care, but complex medical issues can hardly be addressed with simple solutions. The treatment of respiratory distress syndrome is a complex matter and can be only optimized with personalization. We performed a review of tools to individualize the management of respiratory distress syndrome based on physiopathology and actual patients' need, according to precision medicine principles. Advanced oxygenation metrics, lung ultrasound, electrical impedance tomography, and both quantitative and qualitative surfactant assays were examined. When these techniques were investigated with diagnostic accuracy studies, reliability measures have been meta-analysed. Amongst all these tools, quantitative lung ultrasound seems the more developed for the widespread use and has a higher diagnostic accuracy (meta-analytical AUC = 0.952 [95% CI: 0.951-0.953]). Surfactant adsorption (AUC = 0.840 [95% CI: 0.824-0.856]) and stable microbubble test (AUC = 0.800 [95% CI: 0.788-0.812]) also have good reliability, but need further industrial development. We advocate for a more accurate characterization and a personalized approach of respiratory distress syndrome. With the above-described currently available tools, it should be possible to personalize the treatment of respiratory distress syndrome according to physiopathol-ogy.
