Abstract:

Abstract: Comfort is an important component of the treatment of neonates in the National Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Due to the efforts given in the NICU, neonates tend to be exposed with various surroundings which made them receive excessive stimuli. These can lead to increased level of stress and pain, and have an impact on the health and growth of the neonates in the NICU. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out procedures to keep the baby comfortable by maintaining the stress level through neonatal comfort care. This study aimed to determine the role of neonatal comfort care during the car

Objective: To evaluate neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) deaths in one of the largest obstetrics centers in Turkey in order to determine the causes of death in this high-risk group. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively analyzed all NICU deaths occurring between 2013 and 2018. The study included infants born alive at 22 weeks of gestation or older. Results: Of 102374 babies born in our hospital, 14768 infants (14.4%) were admitted to the NICU and 957 (6.48%) of those infants died before discharge. The most common causes of death were extreme prematurity or extremely low birth weight (31.

Abstract:

Nosocomial infections are relatively common in the NICU. These infections increase morbidity and mortality, particularly in the smallest and most fragile infants. The impact of these infections on long-term outcomes and health-care costs is devastating. Worldwide efforts to decrease the incidence of nosocomial infections have focused on implementing specific prevention protocols such as handwashing, central line teams, care bundles, and antimicrobial stewardship. This review summarizes common nosocomial infections in patients in the NICU.

Abstract BACKGROUND: Organizing care teams in a large neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is a challenge. In our pod-based model, babies were assigned a care team based on acuity and bed location. They were frequently moved between teams to accommodate nursing assignments, causing an imbalance in patient census and acuity across teams. As part of a larger process improvement project, we implemented and studied an alternate model for assigning patients to a care team.

Background: The birth of an infant that needs care in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) can be stressful for the parents. The parent-infant bonding process that occurs during the newborn period establishes the foundation for a lifelong relationship. This typical process does not occur when the infant spends the first several weeks or months in the NICU. Quantifying stress levels of parents and identifying the greatest environmental stressor by understanding the aspects of infants, parents and the environment that can cause stress may be useful in assisting the health personnel in understan

The purpose of this study was to determine colonization with carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) and vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE). An additional purpose was to establish whether sepsis and epidemic associated with these factors were present in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), to which infants with hospital stays exceeding 48 h in an external healthcare center NICU were admitted. Perirectal swab samples were collected in the first 24 h by a trained infection nu

Abstract:

Nursing care for infants in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is very complex and may affect the function of the infant microbiome. Several factors inherent in staying in the intensive care unit, such as the use of antibiotics, non-antibiotic drug interventions, nutritional components, and various invasive procedures, including surgery, are associated with disruption of the host microbiota. Therefore, the NICU nurse needs to consider effect factors on the microbial growth and the role that the microbiome may play in causing disease since admission to the NICU. In this study, we describe

Object. The number of patients waiting for organ transplantation continues to grow, while organs are donated by very few of the thousands of potential donors who die every year. The authors' neurosurgical intensive care unit (NICU) has worked closely with coordinators from the local organ procurement organization (OPO) for many years. In this study, the authors analyze donation rates in the NICU and discuss factors that may be important in maximizing these rates. Methods. All referrals from the NICU to the OPO from 1996 to 1999 were analyzed. Of the 180 referrals, 98 patients were found to be

Abstract:

Background: Conventional low probe tone frequency tympanometry has not been successful in identifying middle ear effusion in newborn infants due to differences in the physiological properties of the middle ear in newborn infants and adults. With a rapid increase in newborn hearing screening programs, there is a need for a reliable test of middle ear function for the infant population. In recent years, new evidence has shown that tympanometry performed at higher probe tone frequencies may be more sensitive to middle ear disease than conventional low probe tone frequency in newborn infants.

Abstract Advances in medical care have improved the success of medical interventions in treating high-risk and premature infants, but long-term developmental outcomes are less positive. The neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) setting influences infant brain development and organization, as well as the parent-infant relationship. One advanced-practice role for a speech-language pathologist (SLP) is that of a newborn developmental specialist (NDS). The NDS working in the NICU understands the influence of medical, environmental, and caregiving interactions on the neurologic and neurobehavioral or

Abstract:

To the Editor.— I would like to commend Walker and colleagues1 for their comprehensive examination of the costs and benefits of neonatal intensive care for infants weighing less than 1,000 grams. However, examining only one group of infants served by a tertiary neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) can be misleading. By definition, a tertiary level NICU is designed to provide a broad range of services to infants with a wide variety of illnesses. As is true for any system expected to provide a broad range of services, some services will result in a more favorable cost-benefit ratio than others.

Abstract:

AbstractPatients admitted to the neuroscience intensive care unit (NICU) may have respiratory compromise from either central or peripheral neurological pathology, and may hence require intubation and mechanical ventilation for very diverse reasons. Liberation from invasive ventilation, that is, extubation, at the earliest possible time is a widely accepted principle in intensive care. For this, classic extubation criteria have been established in the general critical care setting, mainly targeting pulmonary function and cooperativeness of the patient. However, classic extubation criteria have

It is important, before engaging in these approaches, for professionals in the NICU to consider the potential impact of massage on the infant and the family.
