Filter by:Aim: The aim of the research was to examine the effect of supportive nursing care provided in line with evidence-based practices during the intrapartum period.
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.
Capture of anxiety for anomalies, stillbirth and preterm labor of pregnant women during COVID-19 pandemia
This is a 6-week pilot study to see how research participants feel about an internet support site after a stillbirth or infant death. Losing a baby through stillbirth or early infant death is typically devastating for families. However, investigators do not know if internet on-line support for parents helps manage grief more easily. In addition to using the BabyCenter.com website, participants will be asked to complete online surveys at the beginning and the end of the study, as well partake in an interview. Data from this pilot study will help develop a much larger randomized control study of on-line support outcomes after perinatal loss.
Capture of anxiety for anomalies, stillbirth and preterm Labor of pregnant women during COVID-19 pandemia
All stillbirths in Stockholm during 2017 were analysed according to the primary outcomes which were preventable/non-preventable deaths and the level of delay. The secondary outcomes were: causes of death, standard of care pre and post stillbirth and if a summary of the possible causes of death was made as well as the planning of supervision of the next pregnancy.
This retrospective study aims to evaluate the fate of children born by cesarean section under spinal anesthesia with or without norepinephrine as vasopressor support for anesthesia. The main objective is to compare the initial Apgar score. The records of patients who received norepinephrine are compared to those without norepinephrine. To limit the biases of this type of study, the investigators will apply a propensity score that will include as a variable: age, ASA score, comorbidity, urgency. The patients analysed correspond to the period 2016-2017.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the feasibility and effectiveness on PTSD symptoms of the addition of a Facebook group to an online yoga intervention for women following a stillbirth.
The aim of this project is to assess the feasibility of a new local post mortem procedure at Besançon University Hospital : Virtopsy+, magnetic resonance (MR) imaging with tissue sampling of the fetus and newborns.
Heart rate (HR) is not routinely assessed during newborn resuscitations in low- and lower-middle income countries (LMICs). Many non-breathing newborns classified as fresh stillbirths have a heartbeat and are live born. The effect of a low-cost monitor for measuring HR on the problem of misclassification of stillbirths in LMICs is unknown. Knowledge of HR during newborn resuscitation might also result in timely administration of appropriate interventions, and improvement in outcomes. Helping Babies Breathe (HBB), a resuscitation algorithm developed by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), is widely accepted as the standard of care for newborn resuscitation in low-resource settings. In keeping with the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) recommendations that HR be measured during newborn resuscitation, HBB calls for HR assessment after 1 minute of positive-pressure ventilation with good chest movement (or sooner if there is a helper who can palpate/auscultate heart rate). However, given the frequent reality of a single provider attending deliveries in LMICs, as well as the currently available methods for assessing HR (i.e. palpitation or auscultation), assessment of HR is challenging to perform without delaying or stopping the provision of other life-saving interventions such as bag and mask ventilation. The effect of low-cost, continuous HR monitoring to guide resuscitation in these settings is unknown. NeoBeat is a low-cost, battery-operated device designed by Laerdal Global Health for the measurement of newborn HR. The device can be placed rapidly on a newborn by a single provider, and within 5 seconds, displays HR digitally. A preliminary trial of NeoBeat in 349 non-breathing newborns in Tanzania detected a HR in 67% of newborns classified as stillbirths, suggesting up to two thirds of fresh stillbirths may be misclassified in similar settings. This trial will evaluate: 1) the effectiveness of HBB in combination with NeoBeat for vital status detection on reduction of reported stillbirths, and 2) the effectiveness of HR-guided HBB on effective breathing at 3 minutes. The primary hypothesis is that implementation of HBB with measurement of HR using NeoBeat will decrease the reported total stillbirth rate by 15% compared to standard care. The secondary hypothesis is that implementation of HR-guided HBB will increase the proportion of newborns not breathing well at birth who are effectively breathing at 3 minutes by 50% compared to HBB with NeoBeat.
