Abstract:

One of the roles of the pediatric otolaryngologist in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is the assessment and management of the neonate who fails a trial of extubation. This paper reviews the recent 5-year institutional experience at The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, with neonates who failed extubation and who subsequently underwent diagnostic endoscopy. One hundred twenty-eight neonates from the NICU underwent diagnostic endoscopy. Of these, 58 neonates underwent diagnostic endoscopy for failure to extubate. Nine neonates were extubated after diagnostic endoscopy and retrial (16% of the series). Eleven neonates were extubated after additional endoscopic procedures (19% of the series). Twenty-four neonates underwent anterior cricoid split, of whom 20 or 83% (34% of the series) were eventually successfully extubated with no further airway intervention required during the study period (minimum 6 months' follow-up). Eleven neonates underwent tracheotomy (19% of the series). Four neonates underwent another external procedure to allow extubation (7% of the series). Three neonates died while still intubated (5% of the series). Our management of the neonate who fails a trial of extubation is discussed.

Abstract:

Neonatal transport is associated with complications, more so in sick and unstable neonates who need immediate emergency surgery. To circumvent these problems, surgery in Neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is proposed for these neonates. This article reviews the literature regarding feasibility of this novel concept and based on the generated evidence, suggest the NICU planners to always include infrastructure for this. Also neonatal surgical team can be developed that could be transported.

Abstract:

Ethiopia has a high neonatal mortality rate in spite of dearth of study. Therefore we aimed to assess magnitude and associated factors of neonatal mortality among neonates admitted to neonatal intensive care units of Wollega University Referral Hospital. Accordingly, a facility based cross-sectional study was conducted on 289 by reviewing medical records of neonates admitted to neonatal intensive care unit. The collected data were entered in to Epi data version 3.1 and Stata version 14 used for analysis. Variables with P-value < 0.25 at with 95% confidence interval in binary logistic regression analysis were taken to the multiple logistic regression analysis. Finally, variables with Likewise, variable with P-value < 0.05 at 95% confidence interval in multiple logistic regression analysis were considered as statistically significant. Among 289 neonates admitted to neonatal intensive care unit, 53 (18.34 %) were died. Majority 42(79.25%) of those deaths occurred at ≤ 7 days of birth. Preterm [AOR 4.15, 95% CI (1.67-10.33)], neonates faced birth asphyxia [AOR 3.26, 95% CI (1.33-7.98)], neonates who developed sepsis [AOR 2.29 95% CI (1.01-5.20)] and neonates encountered with jaundice [(AOR 11.08, 95% CI (1.03-119.59)] were more at risk to die. In general, the magnitude of neonatal mortality among neonates admitted to neonatal intensive care unit was high. Gestational age (maturity of new born), birth asphyxia, neonatal sepsis and neonatal jaundice were predictors of neonatal mortality. Neonates admitted to neonatal intensive care unit with sepsis, jaundice, and birth asphyxia demand special attention to reduce neonatal mortality.

ABSTRACTObjective: to characterize the mortality of newborns suffering from neonatal infections in the intensive care unit of a maternity clinic in Recife. Method: retrospective, descriptive, transverse study, from January 2006 to December 2007, involving medical records of infants who died of neonatal infection. Results: neonatal mortality due to infection occurred in 47.73% of neonatal deaths, of which 91.42% were of infants weighing less than 2,500g; 88.57% aged less than 37 weeks, 51.43 % female. The early infections were 92.38%. Mothers aged 20 or older accounted for 71.43% and 55.24% were illiterate. Urinary tract infection represented 63.41%. With respect to prenatal, 83.81% of the mothers had less than six visits. Conclusions: this study noticed that with the reduction of risk factors for neonatal infection, you can minimize the number of neonatal deaths, which currently remains high. Therefore, it is important to concentrate efforts for prioritizing this public health problem.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVES The primary objective of this study was to compare the use of opioid infusions to that proposed in guidelines published in an in-house medication handbook. Secondary objectives were to assess the documented use of a standardized neonatal pain assessment tool and to describe the supplemental use of opioids concurrent with an opioid infusion. METHODS A retrospective chart review was performed for all patients in the NICU who received opioid infusions between November 1, 2005, and November 30, 2006. Data collected included patient characteristics, opioid infusion dosing and duration, supplemental opioid use, and pain assessment documentation. RESULTS Of the110 neonates who received morphine or fentanyl during the study period, 65 patients met inclusion criteria. Reasons for starting an opioid infusion included nonsurgical sedation and/or analgesia (51%), postoperative pain (17%), and procedural pain (1%). No reason was documented for 31% of patients. Thirtyeight percent of neonates received a loading dose of opioid before initiation of the infusion. The median dose was 100 mcg/kg (IQR=48.2) for morphine and and 1 mcg/kg (IQR=0.8) for fentanyl. The mean ± SD starting rates of morphine and fentanyl infusions were 12.3 ± 4.7 mcg/kg/hr and 1.5 ± 1.7 mcg/kg/hr, respectively. Supplemental opioid doses were given to 46% of neonates during the infusion period. Supplemental doses were given for procedures (69%) and pain/agitation/sedation (26%). No reason was documented for 5% of patients. The Neonatal Pain, Agitation and Sedation Scale scores were only documented 9% of the time for each day that the patient received an opioid infusion. CONCLUSIONS Dosing of opioids generally was within the recommendations that are described in the in-house medication handbook. A substantial percentage of neonates received supplemental opioid doses while on opioid infusions, mostly for procedural pain management. Documentation of the reason for using opioid infusions and the assessment of neonatal pain was poor.

Abstract:

Introduction: In developing countries, thermal protection of the newborn is not properly addressed. Neonates presented to Neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) for admission with various problems are frequently found to be hypothermic. The objective of this study was to determine the incidence and associated risk factors for neonatal hypothermia on admission to NICU. Materials and Methods: This was a prospective observational study carried over a period of three years at Enam Medical College and Hospital (EMCH) among the newborns admitted to NICU. Hypothermia has been defined as axillary temperature <36.5°C (<97.7° F). Temperature was measured at admission. Data were collected regarding perinatal and socio economic factors. Bivariate and multivariate analysis has been done to see the association of risk factors. Result: A total of 2310 babies between 0 and 680 h of age (mean 43± 12 hours) were studied. Thirty four percent (785) of the neonates had hypothermia. Mean gestation was 34±3 weeks and 42.5% were inborn. Significant determinants of neonatal hypothermia at admission included factors like preterm (p=0.03), low birth weight (p=0.005), normal delivery (p=0.012), birth asphyxia (p=0.001) below average socioeconomic status (p=0.001) and long distance (>10 km) travelled by the neonate (p=0.03). Independent variables are resuscitation at birth [p=.001, Odds Ratio (OR), 2.43; Confidence Interval (CI), 1.47 to 4.00], (p=0.001), age less than 24 hours (p=.02; OR 2.25; CI, 1.13 to 4.47), low birth weight (p=0.03; OR,2.0; CI, 1.06 to 3.82), caesarean section(C/S) delivery (p=.006; OR 1.35; CI, 1.18-2.12) and below average economic status (p=0.001; OR, 2.76; CI, 1.56 to 5.90). Conclusion: Incidence of admission hypothermia among neonates in our NICU was 34%. Independent risk factors are resuscitation at birth, very low birth weight, C/S delivery, age less than 24 hours and poor socio-economic condition. Proper thermal care should be provided for neonates both at home and hospitals. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jnps.v33i3.8312 J. Nepal Paediatr. Soc. 2013;33(3):166-171

Abstract:

Introduction: Analyzing the neonatal admission pattern helps the policymakers to make better strategies for healthcare provider to deliver better service. Objective: To demonstrate the admission pattern and outcome of patients in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) in a tertiary care hospital of Bangladesh. Materials and Methods: This retrospective descriptive study was conducted on all neonates admitted to the NICU of Combined Military Hospital (CMH), Dhaka from January to December 2015. Data were collected from file records of the patients regarding age, gender, mode of delivery, working diagnosis, length of stay in NICU and immediate outcome. Results: A total of 502 neonates were admitted during the study period. Majority of the patients (77.3%) were admitted on the 1st day of life. There were 279(55.6%) males with a male to female ratio 1.2:1. The major cause of admission was prematurity (23.1%) and other leading causes were birth asphyxia (BA)14.9%, infant of a diabetic mother (IDM) 13.5%, neonatal sepsis 12.5%. Most of the neonates (82.7%) were delivered by caesarean section. About 84.1% were discharged after improvement, 65(12.94%) died and 15(3%) were referred to other specialties for further management. Within the first 24 hours of admission, 9.4% deaths occurred and two common causes of neonatal death were preterm (49.18%) and birth asphyxia (23%). Conclusion: Good outcome of a neonate depends on adequate management, monitoring and good nursing care in an intensive care unit. By paying good attention to perinatal services and improving the facilities in the unit, morbidity and mortality in neonates can be reduced.

Abstract:

The skin is a vital organ with key protective functions. Infants in the NICU are at risk for skin injury because of developmental immaturity and intensive care treatments. When skin injury occurs, the neonatal nurse is challenged to provide wound care to optimize functional and cosmetic healing. Optimal wound care requires basic knowledge of the mechanisms of injury, physiology of wound healing, host factors affecting wound healing, and wound assessment. This knowledge provides the basis for determining appropriate wound treatment, including dressing selection. Attention to pain issues associated with wound care is difficult because of the infant’s developmental stage, but is essential because of the potentially negative life-long impact of pain. The premature infant’s propensity for skin stripping limits the selection of appropriate dressing, as does the paucity of research examining wound care products in this population.

Abstract:

Background: Hand hygiene has been identified as the single most important factor in minimising hospital acquired infections. However, compliance of handwashing guidelines has remained low. The aim of this study was to study the handwashing practices in the Paediatric and Neonatal intensive care units and Neonatal nurseries in Patan Hospital, and secondly to re-evaluate the improvement on compliance of handwashing guidelines after intervention.Methods: Pre-intervention study was conducted by covertly observing the handwashing practices by the healthcare workers. The healthcare workers were then shown the video demonstrating correct methods of handwashing as recommended by World health organization. The cycle was completed by discretely re-observing the handwashing practices following intervention.Results: Sixty five samples were collected initially. Only 6 (9.2%) had completed all steps of handwashing correctly. Post- intervention, 51 samples were collected, out of which 35 (68.6%) had correctly completed all the steps. Following audio-visual demonstration, 100% correctly completed 8/10 steps of handwashing with soap and water. 8 (16%) failed to dry hands using a single use towel and 14 (28%) failed to turn off the tap using elbow. Postintervention, 100% correctly completed 4/7 steps of handwashing using chlorhexidine. Four (15%) still failed to rub backs of fingers to opposite palm, eight (30%) failed to palm to palm with fingers interlaced, and rub thumb to opposite palm.Conclusions: Compliance in hand hygiene is low despite the known fact that it reduces nosocomial infections. However, a simple intervention like video demonstration can improve the compliance among healthcare workers.

Abstract:

Objective: To assess equity in the distribution of hospital beds in northern Iran. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we investigated the degree of equity by using 2016 census data from 16 cities in Guilan province. The hospital beds include burns, intensive care unit, coronary care unit and neonatal intensive care unit beds. We analysed the general status and explored its distribution equity by using the Theil index. Findings: We found that Rezvanshahr and Masal had no hospital beds. The utilisation gap was positive only in Rasht, as capital of the province. Neonatal intensive care unit beds were only found in Rasht and Lahijan. Rasht was shown to have a positive gap in using burns, intensive care unit and coronary care unit beds, with a negative gap of 14.68 in coronary care unit beds. The other 15 cities did not have such hospital beds. For intensive care unit, coronary care unit and neonatal intensive care unit beds, nearly 8%, 2% and 14% of cities were deprived of being equipped with these hospital beds, respectively. The highest positive gap and the lowest negative gap were attributed to coronary care unit beds. In the province, there were 0.057 burns beds, 0.137 intensive care unit beds, 0.381 coronary care unit beds and 0.72 neonatal intensive care unit beds per 10,000 population (neonatal intensive care unit beds, per 1000 neonates). In 11 out of 16 cities, the number of coronary care unit beds per 10,000 population was higher than the provincial average. The highest inequality in distribution was shown to be for burns beds (0.8), neonatal intensive care unit beds (0.75), intensive care unit beds (0.55) and coronary care unit beds (0.21), respectively. Conclusion: This study revealed high inequalities in the distribution of hospital beds in northern Iran. The local and national policy-makers should design and implement a comprehensive monitoring and evaluation system for tracking and allocating healthcare resources, both qualitatively and quantitatively, which appears to be very necessary to increase the equity in access to healthcare services.

Abstract:

Healing pain as well as preventing it is an indisputable right of every human being. Activities connected with/ related to medical care in the neonatal intensive care unit may be the source of pain. The aim of the study was to characterize the problem of pain in terms of patients of neonatal intensive care units. The work describes not only the perception of neonatal pain but also preventing and therapeutic actions, including pharmacological and non-pharmacological strategies. The last one can be used widely in the daily work of nursing/midwifery staff with neonatal intensive care unit (OITN) patients and their care providers. The study analyzed national and foreign literature on pain therapy in cases of patients of neonatal intensive care units. The available bibliographic databases include Medline, Scopus, PubMed and Google Scholar. The following keywords were used as search criteria: “pain”, “newborn baby”, “neonatal intensive care unit “‘nurse”, “midwives”.

Abstract:

Infection prevention guidelines do not endorse Chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) use in neonates who are less than 2 months old. A survey of US neonatology program directors revealed that most neonatal intensive care units use CHG, often with some restrictions. Prospective studies are needed to further address concerns regarding the safety of CHG in patients in the neonatal intensive care unit.

Abstract:

Objectives:To investigate and describe an outbreak ofSerratia marcescensin a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and to report the interventions leading to cessation of the outbreak.Setting:A 2,168-bed, tertiary-care, university teaching hospital in Vienna, Austria, with an 8-bed NICU.Design:We conducted a case–control study to identify risk factors for colonization and infection withS. marcescens. A case-patient was defined as any neonate in the NICU with a positive culture forS. marcescensbetween October 1, 2000, and February 28, 2001. Polymerase chain reaction was applied to type isolates.Methods:During unannounced observations, the NICU was examined and existing policies were reviewed. Staff were reinstructed in hand antisepsis and gloving policies. Admissions were halted on December 27. During previously planned technical maintenance of the ward, the NICU was closed for 10 days and thorough aldehyde-based disinfection of the NICU was performed.Results:Ten neonates met the case definition: 6 with infections (among them 3 with cerebral abscesses) and 4 with asymptomatic colonization. Previous antibiotic treatment of the mothers with cefuroxime was the single significant risk factor for colonization or infection (P= .028; odds ratio, 17; 95% confidence interval, 1.3 to 489.5).Conclusions:S. marcescenscan cause rapidly spreading outbreaks associated with fatal infections in NICUs. With aggressive infection control measures, such outbreaks can be stopped at an early stage. Affected neonates themselves may well be the source of cross-infection to other patients on the ward. Antibiotic treatment of mothers should be reevaluated to avoid unnecessary exposure to antibiotics with the potential of overgrowth of resistant organisms.

Abstract:

Abstract Objectives: to describe the epidemiology of invasive candidiasis in a neonatal intensive care unit. Methods: cross-sectional study that included all neonates with invasive candidiasis confirmed by blood culture from April 2015 to June 2018. Demographic, clinical and microbiological data were analyzed, comparing neonates with extreme low birth weight (ELBW) with neonates ≥ 1000g birth weight, considering a p <0.05 as statistically significant. Results: there were 38 cases of invasive candidiasis, resulting in an overall incidence of 2.5%. Twelve (32%) were ELBW neonates and 26 (68%) neonates ≥ 1000g birth weight, an incidence of 4.4% and 2.0%, respectively. Abdominal surgery was more frequent among neonates with birth weight ≥ 1000g compared to ELBW neonates (85% vs. 17%; p <0.01), as well as the median in days of antibiotics use (18 vs. 10.5; p = 0.04). The median in days of mechanical ventilation was more frequent among ELBW neonates (10 vs. 5.5; p = 0.04). The majority of Candida species were non-albicans (64%). Fatality rate was 32%. Conclusions: the incidence of invasive candidiasis among neonates with birth weight ≥ 1000g was higher than that found in the literature. This group has a higher proportion of gastrointestinal malformations that require surgery. Thus, fluconazole prophylaxis may be necessary for a broader group of neonates.

Abstract:

Background: Neonatal and pediatrics sepsis are one of the main causes of mortality in neonatal and pediatric intensive care units of developing countries. This study was conducted to determine bacteriological profile of neonatal and pediatrics sepsis in the intensive care unit. Methods: A prospective cross-sectional study was conducted in the neonatal and pediatric intensive care unit, for the period of two years. All 400 neonates and pediatrics patients admitted with suspected clinical sepsis were included. Sepsis screens and cultures were sent under aseptic conditions. Isolation of microorganisms and their identification was done according to standard microbiological techniques bacteriological profile was analyzed with descriptive statistics.Results: Incidence of septicemia is 35.34% in neonates, 9.83% in post neonates and 22.95% in older children. Most common associated factor in neonates were preterm 41.46% in neonates, fever of unknown origin 50% and 78.57% in post neonates and children respectively. Out of 232 suspected cases on neonates in 36.07% cases bacterial pathogen were isolated, 62 suspected cases on post neonates in 9.83% cases bacterial were isolated and 106 suspected cases of older children in 22.95% cases bacterial pathogen were isolated. Common bacterial species isolated were Klebsiella sp. 39.02% in neonates, S. aureus 50% and 35.71% in post neonates and older children respectively.Conclusions: There is entail prevention of infection control measures and rational antibiotic strategy to decrease the economic burden of hospital and community.

Abstract:

Fungus is the one of the micro organisms that causes nosocomial infections. Fungal infections are becoming more frequent occurred from the irrational use of broad spectrum antibiotics, steroids, cytostatica drugs, and chronic disease, and malignancy, babies with low birth weight and patients with decreased immunity. Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is a room with specialized treatment, care and equipment to treat infants with high risk. The purpose of this study was to know by identification of the fungus species on the instrument at the NICU of dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo hospital, Makassar at June 2011. The study design was a cross sectional one. The samples are the incubators and the Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) at the NICU of dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo hospital. The sampling was done by rubbing swab on the incubator and CPAP. The identification of the fungus were carried out with lacto phenol cotton blue staining performed at the Central Public Health Laboratory, Makassar. The Streptomyces sp and Penicillium sp were identified at four incubators, Candida sp was identified at one incubator and so was the Aspergillus sp identified; The fungus that identified at the CPAP was only Penicillium sp. Based on this study it can be concluded that Penicillium sp, Streptomyces sp, Aspergillus sp, as well as Candida sp were found at all incubators and only Penicillium sp was found at CPAP.
