Preterm Birth Clinical Trial
Official title:
Tandem: Skin-to-skin Transfer From the Delivery Room to the Neonatal Unit for Neonates Above 1500 g
Immediate skin-to-skin contact (SSC) is already standard care for healthy term newborns, but its use for term or preterm newborns requiring admission to neonatal unit (NICU) with or without respiratory support is challenging. This study aimed to assess the safety and feasibility of SSC during the transfer of newborn infants, using a new purpose-built mobile shuttle care-station, called "Tandem". A monocentric prospective observational study was conducted at the tertiary referral center of the Université libre de Bruxelles in Brussels, Belgium Infants born with a birth weight above 1500g were eligible. Following initial stabilization, infants were placed in SSC with one of their parents and transferred to the NICU using the Tandem.
Prior to delivery, the trained neonatal team prepares both the Tandem and a transport incubator as a backup. Delayed umbilical cord clamping will be performed for at least one minute unless prompt resuscitation required. Then, infants will be stabilized on a resuscitation table following European Resuscitation Council guidelines, with applying electrodes for continous monitoring of heart rate, saturation and temperature. After initial stabilization respiratory support will be continued if needed using the Tandem's gas supply. In cases when, antibiotics or continuous IV glucose infusion are necessary, peripheral venous catheters will be placed before departure. In case of respiratory support, nasogastric tube will be insterted. Infants will be then transferred to the NICU under the supervision of a pediatric nurse and/or pediatrician with the Tandem in skin-to-skin position with either the mother or the father. Whenever possible, SSC will be continued for at least 120 minutes before placing the infant in an incubator. Blood glucose measurement will take place at least once during the procedure. ;
