Filter by:This study aimed to evaluate the effects of kinesio taping on blood gas parameters, respiratory rate, heart rate, oxygen saturation, and pressure limits in preterm infants with RDS who are on NIV. It is hypothesized that the application of kinesio taping to the chest area of preterm infants may improve respiratory functions and oxygenation at the alveolar level, leading to decreased work of breathing, reduced respiratory rate, and improved neonatal stability by promoting respiratory mechanics and enhancing chest expansion.
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.
The usability of a new PNEUMACRIT system is studied in clinical environment in this feasibility study.
The objective of this study is to assess the effectiveness of online formative feedback and debriefing on nursing and medical students enrolled in the HBB course in comparison to traditional face-to-face feedback. The working hypothesis is that online feedback and debriefing during hands-on training sessions are as effective as face-to-face feedback and debriefing in teaching clinical skills to medical and nursing students.
The objective of study is to determine the effectiveness of bubble Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (bCPAP) in neonates presenting with respiratory distress as compared to the control group ( using oxygen via nasal cannula). The effectiveness will be calculated in terms of reduction in Silverman Anderson Retraction Score.
The investigators hypothesize that there is a growing trend of the feasibility of HFNC as an alternative to other forms of non-invasive ventilation mechanism to provide continuous distending pressure to preterm infants. However, there remains uncertainty about the efficacy and safety of HFNC in this population.
