UNASSIGNED: Background: @entity520 is a common problem of @entity1 on @entity4837 intensive care units. Only little data exists in literature and there are no clinical guidelines. The aim of this national survey was to assess criteria for correction of @entity520 in @entity4837 @entity1 and if there were effects to be observed. Methods: We designed an online survey and sent it to 304 German @entity1 's hospitals. 101 questionnaires were included in our study. Results: The question "How often do you buffer on your ward a week?" was answered 63 times with "zero". In perinatal @entity1763 newborns with gestation age over 36+0 weeks 4% of the neonatologists would frequently perform a correction of @entity520 , 74.3% would do it rarely and 21.8% never. In syndrome of @entity33711 28.4% would correct @entity520 frequently, 42.0% would correct it rarely and 29.5% would never correct it. In case of @entity295 8.7% would correct @entity520 frequently, 70.7% would do it rarely and 20.7% would never correct it. 75.2% of the @entity1 distinguish in buffering a premature or a mature @entity1 . 44.4% of neonatologists saw an improvement of the clinical status of the @entity1 after buffering. 38.3% saw different effects, 16.0% saw no changes and 1.2% saw a worsening of the clinical status. 49.4% of those questioned saw side effects after using @entity4388 as a buffer. Conclusion: Correction of @entity520 with a buffer is rarely performed on German neonatology wards. The indication of buffering depends on the clinical picture and its underlying problem. Benefits from buffering were seen, as well as side effects.
