Filter by:The study was aimed to examine the effects of fetal positioning during venipuncture on the neonates' pain score and physiological parameters (heart rate, blood-oxygen saturation, body temperature, crying duration) in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). This randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted between 10.2021-07.2022 with 60 preterm neonates, aged 26-32 week of gestation. Neonates were divided into intervention group (n=30) and control group (n=30) according to the randomization method. The neonates in the intervention group were put into fetal positioning at least 10 minutes before the procedure, and then venipuncture was performed. The fetal positioning was maintained throughout the procedure and the patient was kept in the fetal position for at least five more minutes after the procedure. Changes in the neonates' pain score and crying duration as well as heart rate, blood temperature, blood-oxygen saturation at three time points: before the procedure, immediately after needle insertion, five minutes after needle removal. Data was collected using the sociodemographic form, neonatal observation form and Neonatal Pain, Agitation and Sedation Scale (N-PASS). The collected data were analyzed using the SPSS 15 software. The main questions it aims to answer: 1. Does fetal positioning have an effect on pain score of premature neonates? 2. Does fetal positioning have an effect on heart rate of preterm neonates? 3. Does fetal positioning have an effect on oxygen saturation of preterm neonates? 4. Does fetal positioning have an effect on body temperature of the preterm neonates? 5. Does fetal positioning have an effect on the crying duration of preterm neonates?
Preterm neonates who receive multi-sensory stimulation exhibit more neurobehavioral development than those who don't.
-This study aimed to investigate the effect of colloid oatmeal compared to colloid cream on diaper rash among preterm neonates in the NICU.
Congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction (CNLDO) occurs in approximately 10 to 20% of all term newborns, and is the most common cause of persistent tearing and ocular discharge in children. CNLDO causes symptoms in up to 6% of children during the first year of life. The first clinical signs appear during the first month of life in 95% of cases and usually consist of tearing and debris on the eyelashes ("mattering"). Mucopurulent eye discharge occurs commonly in infants with CNLDO and, in the absence of other signs of infection, suggests bacterial overgrowth in the stagnant tear pool of the lacrimal sac. This study investigates whether early administration of Euphrasia eye drops (Weleda AG, Arlesheim) in preterm neonates presenting with first ocular discharge with or without tearing and reddened eye fosters the resolution of the ocular discharge and reduces the need for topical antibiotic therapy.
