Filter by:The objective of the study is to evaluate the role of neonatologist-performed lung ultrasound (NPLUS) after weaning from invasive mechanical ventilation and extubation. Our aim is to study the diagnostic accuracy of NPLUS and investigate whether LUS leads to earlier actions before clinical deterioration and hence prevents extubation failure.
The investigators aim to analyze the management of children born with gastroschisis between January 2009 and December 2023, i.e. to evaluate post-operative follow-up, hospitalization costs, the risk of post-operative umbilical hernia, and the parents' and the child's appreciation of the scar.
Indications for jejunostomy, ileostomy or colostomy vary in the neonatal population. The most common etiologies are congenital anomalies, such as anorectal malformations, intestinal atresia or Hirschsprung's disease, but also acquired conditions, such as enterocolitis or intestinal perforation. The aim of these stomas is to divert stool in the event of intestinal obstruction or risk of fecal contamination. Depending on the indication and the type of stoma used, the post-operative follow-up, such as resumption of intestinal transit and feeding, secondary closure of the stoma or not, and the duration and cost of hospitalization differ. The aim of this study is to compare these differences in order to extract an optimal management strategy, in the light of what is reported in the international scientific literature.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the role of the neonatologist-performed lung ultrasound (NPLUS) during immediate transition after birth of late preterm and full-term neonates using the lung ultrasound score to predict the need of respiratory support persisting more than 1 hour after birth.
The admission of a newborn to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) represents a potentially harmful sound environment coupled with multiple stressful events. However, a strategy such as music therapy (delivered by a trained music therapist) appears to be a non-invasive, safe, and cost-effective alternative that assists newborns in their physiological self-regulation with a beneficial effect on stabilizing neonatal vital signs, so it can be used as a complementary strategy to medical management. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of live and pre-recorded music therapy on vital sign variables in newborns older than 32 weeks hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit of a high-complexity health institution in Colombia.
The study aims to compare the success and time of intubation through an intubating laryngeal mask vs. direct laryngoscopy in a manikin simulating a term infant. In addition, we will assess the operator's opinion on the procedure. This is an unblinded, randomized, controlled, crossover (AB/BA) pilot trial of intubation procedure through intubating laryngeal mask vs direct laryngoscopy in a manikin simulating a term newborn.
The goal of this study is to determine if using a Pedi-Cap (a type of colorimetric carbon dioxide detector) during face mask ventilation (PPV) for newborn infants in the delivery room will lower the time of PPV needed. A group of nurses, doctors, and respiratory therapists, called the neonatal resuscitation team, will either use or not use the Pedi-Cap during face mask PPV for infants born at ≥30 weeks' gestation. A randomization generator will assign each month either using the Pedi-Cap or not using the Pedi-Cap. The researchers will collect information from the chart to find the infant and mother's information, vital signs, medical interventions done in the delivery room, and lab values. In addition, resuscitation team members will fill out a survey of their experiences of using or not using the Pedi-Cap during delivery room PPV.
1. Explore 32 weeks of premature infants or maternal pregnancy infection of newborn septic shock maternal influence factors. 2. Through maternal blood samples before delivery and labor cord blood sample screening and septic shock related proteomics analysis, explore the relationship between the difference protein and septic shock and prognosis, and explore the pathway mechanism, in order to prevent and reduce the occurrence of septic shock in premature infants
REAL-MOXY is a set of 5 mixed methods studies designed to understand how oxygen and pulse oximetry are used (or not used) at a facility level, to identify opportunities and barriers for strengthening oxygen systems for beneficiaries, users and managers.
There is a preference for using enteral bovine lactoferrin for preterm infants. Lactoferrin is a sialic acid-rich, iron-binding milk glycoprotein, known to have multifunctional health benefits, including its ability to modulate immune function and facilitate iron absorption, as well as its antibacterial and anti inflammatory actions. The study is an evaluation of the efficacy of enteral bovine lactoferrin on neurobehavioral performance in preterm infants.
