Filter by:The PRISM pilot feasibility study consists of two phases to determine: 1) to delivery practices, rates of primary and secondary outcomes, and feasibility of enrollment rates, and 2) to assess the feasibility and acceptability of the intervention and expected enrollment rates, and estimate the effect size of sildenafil citrate on maternal and neonatal outcomes in a low resource settings in preparation for the main RCT.
Studying the effect of passive versus Blanket roll III modality of therapeutic hypothermia (TH)on myocardial function of asphyxiated neonates through using tissue Doppler (TD).
Augmented Infant Resuscitator (AIR) is an inexpensive add-on, compatible with nearly every existing bag-valve mask and many types of ventilation equipment. AIR monitors ventilation quality and provides real-time objective feedback and actionable cues to clinicians to both shorten training times and improve resuscitation quality, adoption, retention, and confidence.
Non-vigorous infants enrolled in the MINVI trial will be approached for consent for ongoing data collection. As part of the data collection, an optional echocardiogram will be performed if the parent consents.
The investigators will conduct a study of non-vigorous term infants to determine if umbilical cord milking (UCM) results in a lower rate of NICU admissions than early clamping and cutting of the umbilical cord at birth for infants who need resuscitation.
This study is a pilot study taking place in Moshi, Tanzania at the Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre (KCMC). The study aims to introduce fetal scalp stimulation into the intermittent auscultation protocols at KCMC, and to validate whether or not a handheld Doppler device can perform the fetal scalp stimulation test accurately.
Research question In newborn infants requiring CPR, does CC superimposed by sustained inflation compared to 3:1 compression to ventilation ratio improves return of spontaneous circulation? Overall objective: CC superimposed by sustained inflation will improve short- and long-term outcomes in preterm (>28 weeks or older) and term newborns. Hypothesis to be tested Primary hypothesis: By using CC superimposed by sustained inflation (CC+SI) during CPR the time needed to achieve return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) compared to the current 3:1 compression to ventilation (C:V) will be reduced in asphyxiated newborns.
Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) occurs when a baby gets reduced blood flow and oxygen to the brain near the time of birth. This results in death or neurologic disabilities including cerebral palsy and cognitive impairment in up to half of affected infants. This clinical trial will determine if the drug erythropoietin (Epo) added to hypothermia (usual therapy) will improve outcomes for infants suffering from HIE.
The Maternal Neonatal and Child health indicators in District Dadu of Pakistan portrays a dismal pictures and after the floods of 2010-2011 the health infrastructure of this district was badly affected. Aga Khan University Pakistan is intending to implement a service delivery project for the improvement of Maternal Neonatal and Child health situation through evidence based MNCH interventions.
Melghat is poorly developed tribal area in India with very high child mortality & malnutrition prevalence (grossly inadequate medical facilities). Important health problems. Malnutrition , Pneumonia, Tuberculosis, Anaemia, Malaria, Diarrhoea, Premature and L. B. W. babies, Neonatal sepsis, Feeding problem, Birth asphyxia. The investigators developed a Home Based Child Care (HBCC) model to reduce neonatal mortality rate (NMR), infant mortality rate (IMR), under 5 mortality rate (U5MR) and severe malnutrition(SM) in this region. Melghat. Need of project : Melghat is known for highest U5MR in Maharashtra. Overall aims and importance of the research:. The results obtained in this area will be applicable for reducing children mortality and malnutrition in other parts of Melghat and all other tribal areas of India. Methodology: RCT-Home based child care (HBCC) by trained village health workers .(ARI, Diarrhoea, Malaria clinically & Neonatal care) in 19 villages. Strengthening of existing government ICDS and health system. Melghat. Need of project : Melghat is known for highest U5MR in Maharashtra. Overall aims and importance of the research:.
