Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is aims to evaluate the effects of applying colostrum orally every 4 and 2 hours in order to achieve trophic feeding in preterm infants. The main question it aims to answer is the optimal frequency of colostrum application that can be applied Participants will be divided by randomization using permutation blocks after meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria and deemed eligible. These blocks were then randomized using computer software such as Microsoft Excel, determining the sequence for allocation to the control and intervention groups based on the randomization order from the permutation code, every 2 hours and every 4 hours. Researchers will investigate the effects of oropharyngeal colostrum application frequency, every 4 hours and every 2 hours, in order to achieve trophic feeding in preterm infants <34 weeks gestational age.
The purpose of this study is to better understand diagnosis and treatment of preterm preeclampsia. Currently, there are limited laboratory tests that can be used to diagnosis preeclampsia. Additionally, there are few treatments for this condition. This clinical trial will explore treatment options, Metformin and Esomeprazole, as well as serum markers that could improve the diagnosis and treatment of preterm preeclampsia.
It was aimed to determine the effect of parental participation on newborn comfort during diaper care practice in preterm infants. H1: Parental participation during infant diaper care practice in preterm infants has an effect on newborn comfort. H2: There is a difference in the effect of parent diaper care practice and the participation of the mother or father on newborn comfort in preterm infants. H3: There is a difference between the stress levels of parents before the application of infant diaper care in preterm infants.
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.
Globally, over 15 million neonates are born preterm each year. They account for approximately 30% of global neonatal deaths and 19% of total neonatal deaths in Bangladesh. They usually die because they cannot maintain normal temperature due to their weight, immature skin and underdeveloped thermal regulatory capacity of the brain. Maintaining continuous KMC for at least 16-20 hours/day, is sometimes not feasible for mothers or caregivers. In addition, we also have the challenge of keeping preterm or LBW neonates warm during transportation. The scientists at icddr,b, Johns Hopkins University, and George Mason University developed the re-usable thermal jacket for keeping preterm or low-birth-weight neonate warm. We propose to build on previous work by systematically testing the safety of the 'thermal jacket' among preterm or low birthweight (LBW) neonates. Objective of this study is to conduct clinical safety trial of the thermal jacket to test whether the thermal jacket can retain euthermia of preterm or LBW neonates for 2 hours.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare modified feeding protocol and current feeding protocol on neonatal outcomes in preterm infants who born with weight less than 2kg. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is Modified feeding protocol will decrease the duration of parenteral nutrition and length of hospital stay? - Is Modified feeding protocol feasible, efficient, and safe in preterm infants? Participants will undergo the modified feeding protocol since birth until discharge.
The goal of this multicenter, cluster-randomized, crossover trial is to determine if umbilical cord milking compared to early cord clamping will reduce in-hospital mortality in non-vigorous preterm infants born between 30 weeks and 34 weeks of gestation.
Establishing a strong bond between mother and infant is crucial for fostering healthy relationships in the future. This research sought to investigate the correlation between mother-to-infant bonding and sensory processing, as well as the connection between prematurity and sensory processing in 12-month-old infants.
The aim of this thesis is to exprementally investigate the effect of massage applied to preterm infants on growth and stress. While the population of the research is preterm infants at the neonatal intensive care unit of a Medicalpark Batman Hospital between January 2018 and February 2019, the sample is 60 preterm infants suitable for inclusion criteria. Research data was collected using Preterm Infant Information Form, Preterm Follow-up Form and Newborn Stress Scale. While massage was applied to the infants in the experimental group three times daily for 10 days, the control group received the usual care. Weight, length and head circumference of infants in both experimental and control group were measured by the researcher on 1., 5. and 10. days. In order to evaluate stess level of the massage applied infants, camera records of the infants were taken 15 minutes before and after the massage on 1., 5. and 10. days. Camera records of the infants in the control group were also taken at the same time with those in the experimental group. Camera records were watched and stress level of the infants were evaluated by two observers blind to the research. The data analyses were carried out using In-class Correlation, Frequency, Levene, Two-Way ANOVA for Mixed Measured, Repeated ANOVA tests
The study aimed to determine the impact of the Father-Preterm Newborn Bonding Programme (B-PreBAP) on fathers' parenting behaviours, stress levels, and support needs. Additionally, the study aimed to investigate the effect of B-PreBAP on the stress levels of preterm newborns.
