Filter by:Under normal conditions, the umbilical cord is removed 5-15 days after birth. It dries up and falls within days. It is extremely important to determine the factors that cause the prolongation of the falling time of the cord, which poses a serious risk for infection. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of umbilical cord care training given to primiparous mothers on the duration of cord fall. It is a randomized controlled type of research. The population of the research will be primiparous mothers who gave birth in the obstetrics clinic of a university hospital. A pilot study will be conducted to determine the number of samples. As a result of the pilot study, power analysis will be performed and the number of samples will be determined. Inclusion criteria of mothers in the study; Data collection tools: "Descriptive Questionnaire" and "Questionnaire for Umbilical Cord Care" will be used to collect research data. Randomization will be done as odd days of the week and even days of the week for sample selection in the study. Primiparous mothers giving birth on odd days of the week will form the group that will receive umbilical cord training, while primiparous mothers giving birth on even days of the week will form the group that does not receive training. The research will be carried out in two stages. In the first stage of the research, after informing the mothers about the study, they will be invited to the research. Written consent will be obtained from mothers who volunteered to participate in the study. Then, the "Descriptive Questionnaire" prepared to describe mothers and babies will be filled. In the second stage of the research: the mothers will be called 15-20 days after the first interview and the "Question Form Regarding Umbilical Cord Care" will be filled.
In this single-center, randomized controlled trial, patients (4-8 months) with CHD were randomly assigned to either a recovery group (home-based rehab exercise periodically) supervised by cellphone APP or to a control group. Left ventricular ejection fractions (LVEF), the rate of increase in heart rate (rHRI), and the rate of recovery heart rate (rHRR) were measured for representing cardiopulmonary capacity. The Alberta test and Neuro-intelligence Scale were used to evaluate their motor developmental outcomes. This study verified the feasibility of this rehab method and indicated that 6-month home-based exercise training can improve cardiopulmonary endurance and motor developmental level in infant CHD patients.
Although the current standard for lumbar puncture and spinal anesthesia is the use of manual palpation of surface landmarks to identify the correct interspace, performance of the procedure at too high of a level may increase the incidence of adverse effects. The current study will evaluate the efficacy of ultrasound in identifying the correct intervertebral space for lumbar puncture thereby improving the safety of the procedure.
The investigator aimed to evaluate the effect of ultrasound guided esophageal pressure on the incidence of gastric insufflation during anesthetic induction in infants and small children undergoing general anesthesia.
This research was conducted to carry out the effect of umbilical cord clamping time on baby anemia.
The purpose of this study is to pilot test an innovative, guided participation (GP) intervention to help parents develop competencies in communication for parenting an infant with a complex congenital heart defect (CCHD) through the first six months of age.
Pregnant women - living in thecatchment area of a public dental clinic with known higher caries experience and generally lower socioeconomical status than at other dental clinics in the Region - are recruited for the study. Repeated information and surveys of dental knowledge, dental habits and medical conditions etc. is sample. Before birth, one month after birth, and 12 and 18 months after birth of the Child, the mother repeatedly answers questionnaires and recieves information about dental care. At 18 months,and at the 3- and 6-year dental examinations the caries experience dmft/deft is registered. All Children and accompanying parent receives an individual caries preventive program between the examinations. Evaluation will be focused on possible caries sreduction and Health econimic aspects of the interventions.
Objective: This research was conducted to determine the effects of labor dance on perceived birth pain, birth satisfaction, and neonatal outcomes. Design: This research was an experimental study with three groups. The data were collected during the active phase of labor as three groups; Dance Practitioner Midwife Group (DPMG-40 pregnant), Dancing Practitioner Spouse / Partner Group (DPSG-40 pregnant) and Control Group (CG-80 pregnant). Setting: This research was conducted at Ministry of Health Izmir Urla State Hospital between April 1, 2017 and October 31, 2017. Participants: The pregnant women in the DPMG danced with the midwives in charge of the delivery room and following the pregnancy, but those in the DPSG danced with their spouse/partners during the active phase of labor. Labor pains were measured before the labor dance was begun (when the vaginal dilatation was 4 cm) and after the labor dance (when the vaginal dilatation was 9 cm) using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). In the postpartum period, the first, fifth, and tenth-minute Apgar scores and oxygen saturation levels of the newborns were measured and recorded. The Mackey Childbirth Satisfaction Rating Scale was applied to evaluate the women's birth satisfaction at the end of the first hour. In the Control Group, only routine practices were implemented in the hospital, and data were collected as indicated in the experimental groups.
difficult intubation is high in the 0-1 year period. Video laryngoscopes improved intubation success rate when compared to direct laryngoscopy. We compared the Airtraq, Glidescope, and c-mac video laryngoscopes during intubation of <1 year old children undergoing neurosurgery.
AIM: to investigate the influence of different music genres on Heart Rate Variability (HRV) of preterm infants. Neonates undergo a daily randomized music listening program. An electrocardiogram is performed to evaluate HRV parameters in each neonate with and without music exposure.
