Filter by:One of the most frequently required treatments for respiratory distress in neonatal intensive care is continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) support through the nose. NCPAP application has many advantages but also disadvantages and complications. Gastric-abdominal distension, which is a complication of NCPAP application, is caused by gas entering the stomach and gastrointestinal tract. Feeding intolerance may develop in the newborn due to abdominal distension. In recent studies, it has been determined that non-pharmacological methods and supportive developmental care practices used to increase the comfort and reduce pain and stress of babies who experience painful procedures such as NCPAP application and who are exposed to the stressful neonatal intensive care unit environment are effective in increasing comfort and reducing pain and stress. These practices include therapeutic touch, mother's voice, fetal position, white noise, lullaby, wrapping and massage. In the literature, a quasi-experimental study examining the effect of massage (Field massage technique) on the respiration, heart rate and oxygen saturation of 28-34 week old newborns with respiratory distress syndrome who received nasal CPAP showed that massage had no significant effect on oxygen saturation, but respiration and heart rate decreased after the massage. has been determined. There are studies in the literature examining the effects of therapeutic touch, mother's voice, fetal position, white noise, lullaby and wrapping in order to increase the comfort of newborns receiving nasal CPAP, reduce stress and pain, and prolong sleep time. However, no research has been found in the literature examining the effects of massage on the stress, comfort and health parameters of newborns receiving nasal CPAP.
The purpose of this study is to assess, via caregiver questionnaire, the acceptability and feasibility of implementing a bedtime routine for newborns.
In the literature, music plays an energizing, soothing, stimulating and awakening role for the newborn, and at the same time, music has the potential to wake up a lethargic and withdrawn baby and calm a crying, restless baby. In addition, it is stated that relaxing music in the early postpartum period supports breastfeeding behaviors of mother and baby. It is stated that lullabies positively affect the newborn's relaxation, falling asleep, and mother-baby communication. however, it facilitates sleep due to its monotonous, emotional and repetitive melody structure, slow tempo and relaxing effect. The sound called white noise is a humming, monotonous and constantly used sound that suppresses the disturbing sounds coming from the environment and has a calming feature. In the literature, it has been found that white noise played to infants with colic reduces crying. The aim of this study is to determine the effects of lullabies and white noise music played during breastfeeding of the newborn on newborn stress, breastfeeding success and mother's comfort. This study was planned as a randomized controlled trial with term newborns 24 hours after birth.
What impact can facial masks have on face exploration in the first few weeks of life? No study has yet investigated this. The objective of our study was to evaluate the impact of the mask on the face processing (preferential gaze, visual recognition) of the term infant for familiar (e.g. mother's face) and unfamiliar (stranger's face) faces. This is a prospective study which will take place in Grenoble Maternity Hospital. 200 newborns will be enrolled between 24 hours and 7 days of life during one year. Different pairs of images will be presented on a screen while an experimenter records the infant's gaze. On each trial, the experimenter will judge when the infant is looking at the screen or not and assess when 10 seconds of screen gaze time has been accumulated. The comparisons will be made to determine whether statistically, one face is looked at significantly longer than another.
Currently the neonatal serum level of severals proteins can be used as an indicator of subsequent risk. For example, we plan to explore the neonatal kinetics of tryptase and other immune proteins as potential markers for the risk of postnatal complications, particularly in premature babies. However, today no study has shown whether the tryptase level in the newborn is a reflection of fetal synthesis alone, or that of the mother by possible transplacental passage. There is also no database that has defined normal values for tryptase in cord blood. Our main objective is to determine the correlation between the level of maternal tryptase and that of the newborn in cord blood immediately after birth in order to estimate the transplacental passage of this molecule.
This study; It will be carried out with the aim of developing the artificial intelligence method, which allows automatic determination of comfort levels of newborns.
Hair toxicological analysis is nowadays a complementary technique to blood and urinary analyses because it allows a better detection of xenobiotics in time. The detection of xenobiotics is expressed in hours in blood and in days in urines; it is several months in the hair. So, hair makes it possible to establish a retrospective timetable of consumption and exposure to xenobiotics. In newborns, hair has different morphological characteristics than adults' hair. It is thinner, more porous and the development phases are not the same. Nevertheless, it is recognized that the absorption mechanisms of xenobiotics in newborns' hair are similar to those of adults. On the other hand, some difficulties of interpretation and discernment are observed between in utero exposure and environmental exposure after birth. It is interesting to have data to estimate the absorption of psychoactive substances in newborns' hair following an utero exposure. The main objective of this project is to study the mechanisms of incorporation of psychoactive substances administered to the mothers during pregnancy in newborns' hair.
Miller blades are commonly used in pediatric anesthesia; however, there is less evidence-based information on the superiority of Miller blades in the visualization of the laryngeal inlet to Macintosh blades. The aim of the present study is to compare the glottic views with the size 0 Macintosh and Miller laryngoscope blades above and below the epiglottis.
