BACKGROUND. Mechanical and infectious complications shorten the effective duration of peripherally inserted central venous catheters. Heparin use to prevent such prolong usability catheters is inconclusive. OBJECTIVE. Our goal was evaluate effectiveness heparin in prolonging neonates. DESIGN/METHODS. We performed a multicenter, randomized, controlled trial infusion (0.5 U/kg per hour) versus placebo for The primary outcome catheter use. Secondary outcomes were occlusion, catheter-related...
OBJECTIVE: In extremely premature neonates, data concerning the normal baseline variability of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)-derived regional oxygen saturation (rSO 2 ) are lacking. We sought to determine: 1) quiescent cerebral, renal, and splanchnic rSO in clinically stable, undisturbed very low birth weight neonates 2) effects different averaging epochs on site-specific variability. STUDY DESIGN: this prospective, observational study, between 500 1250 g underwent seven days continuous,...
Alveolar capillary dysplasia is a fatal disorder of the lung that requires biopsy for diagnosis. We reviewed course patients with alveolar following implementation an early strategy between 1997–2002. performed immunohisto-chemical studies on all tissue specimens. diagnosed 7 cases dysplasia. 6/7 pre-mortem by biopsy. Median time admission and was 6.5 days. All survived but died withdrawal active therapy after confirmation In 1 patient we demonstrated histological findings congenital acinar...
Higher rates of postpartum depression (PPD) are reported in mothers neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) hospitalized infants. The relationship clinical risk factors and self-reported maternal stress levels to positive PPD screening is not well characterized.To determine the feasibility a regional perinatal center, assess association NICU-specific comorbidities with scores.Prospective study NICU-hospitalized infants conducted between 21and 30 days their infant's life. Mothers completed...
Objective Anemia causes blood flow redistribution and altered tissue metabolic behavior to sustain homeostatic oxygen consumption. We hypothesized that anemia severity would correlate with increased regional fractional extraction among premature neonates. Study Design Regional was calculated using pulse oximetry near-infrared spectroscopy data neonates <1,250 g during their first 10 postnatal days. Oxygen assessed for correlations raw hematocrit levels following grouping into quartiles....
Background: An exclusive human milk (EHM) diet in extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants (birth ≤1,000 g) is linked to an increased likelihood of extrauterine growth restriction (EUGR, <10% at discharge). Past studies associated EUGR with worse neurodevelopmental (ND) outcomes; however, its impact when EHM used unknown. Objective: Determine whether adversely affects 2-year ND outcomes ELBW fed diet. Secondary aims were compare short-term morbidities and through 2 years corrected age (CA)....
Human herpesvirus-6 (HHV-6) is a growing concern in immunocompromised individuals, such as the transplant setting. Alone, or concert with human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), infections HHV-6 are often severe enough to require antiviral therapy, generally form of ganciclovir (GCV). GCV resistance HCMV well documented, both clinically and laboratory, has been shown result from mutations UL97 protein kinase and/or UL54 DNA polymerase. documented. However, date, it only investigated limited extent....
The use of analgesics for procedural pain management in the newborn infant has been steadily increasing during past decade. With this trend increased analgesic utilization, there is potential infants to suffer from drug-induced side effects. There also wrongfully blame drugs all adverse events that occur use. Two occurred a neonate exposed tetracaine gel and probability were caused by drug are presented. During administration topical local anesthetic analgesia percutaneous central venous...
The aim of the study was to evaluate whether a subset noncritically ill, convalescing extremely-low-birth-weight neonates who were managed using standardized nutritional protocol could achieve growth rate index fetus. We hypothesized that an aggressive applied premature fetus.This retrospective review 21 defined by 4 criteria: inborn or transferred-in within 24 hours birth, gestational age < 30 weeks and birth weight ≤1000 g, hospitalized >35 postnatal days, discharged between 34 42...
To investigate whether Post-Acute Care Inpatient Rehabilitation (PACIR) admission after NICU stay affects the total length of (LOS) very preterm (VPT: ≤30 weeks gestation) infants.A retrospective case control study VPT infants d/c'd from at Maria Fareri Children's Hospital (MFCH) to either a PACIR (Blythedale Hospital: BH) for convalescent care (cases) or directly home (controls).35 cases and 70 controls. Total LOS (MFCH + was longer [196 vs. 97 days]. At time d/c MFCH, Special Health Needs...
