Filter by:The aim of this study was to evaluate the temporal artery thermometer by comparing temporal artery and axillary thermometer temperature measurements with rectal thermometer temperature measurements in neonatal patients. The investigators measured temporal artery, axillary, and rectal temperatures of 49 infants. Temporal artery temperature was measured using an infrared temporal artery thermometer, and the results with this device were compared with axillary temperature (clinical standard) and rectal temperature (gold standard). The difference between rectal and temporal artery temperatures was compared with the difference between rectal and axillary temperatures for each infant, and the data were analyzed based on weight, postmenstrual age and bed type - open crib or incubator.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of live music on physiological parameters in newborn infants. The mother is asked about the effects of music on her own and the child's wellbeing.
Most premature babies have difficulty breathing at birth and need help (resuscitation). The treatment for this is to gently inflate their lungs with a resuscitation device and a facemask. To gently inflate an infant's lungs the clinical team places a breathing tube in the windpipe and blow air into your baby's lung (puffs). With the first puffs the clinical team checks if the breathing tube is correctly placed within the windpipe. The investigators routinely use a detector which checks for exhaled carbon dioxide or the graphical display of waves forms of the infants breathing to check that the breathing tube position. However, the investigators do not know which one (exhaled carbon dioxide or the graphical display of waves forms) is better to check that the breathing tube position is correct and therefore the investigators would like to study them. The purpose of this study is to compare exhaled carbon dioxide detectors (ECO2 group) with the graphical display of waves forms (flow waves group) to provide us with information on how the investigators can help babies who struggle with breathing at birth.
Umbilical cord often becomes encircled around portions of the fetus, usually the neck. The incidence ranges from 1 loop in 21% to 3 loops in 0.2%. In this study we wish to assessed the practice of severing the cord, which was encircled once around the neck of the fetus, after delivery of the anterior shoulder and prior to extraction of the body. The study and the control groups will include 30 women, each one. After diagnosis of cord around the neck during labor by ultrasound, the women will inter a randomization process. After delivery of the head, it will be cut intentionally in the study group and left intact in the control group. Neonatal outcome will be assessed.
