The successful promotion of facility births in low and middle-income countries has not always resulted improved neonatal outcome. We evaluated key signal functions pertinent to Level II care determine readiness for high risk/ small sick newborns.Facility babies was determined through self-evaluation using a pre-designed checklist selected referral hospitals Uganda (10), Indonesia (4) India (2) with focus on the Sub-Saharan country greater challenges.Most facilities reported having continuous...
<title>Abstract</title> Objective To evaluate lack of impact Helping Babies Breathe Program on neonatal mortality in four Ghana hospitals despite quality improvement measures. Methods Analyzed correlations between Apgar scores and outcome newborns ≥ 34 weeks gestation who had birth asphyxia (BA, 1 minute score < 7) severe BA (1 ≤ 3). Results Among 12,702 live births, 18.9% 2.8% BA. 2044 with 4–6, 16 (0.8%) died, compared to 15.6% 352 (p 0.0001). In BA, the rate was higher those whose...
Inborn babies in many Ghana facilities who need any monitoring or therapy above Essential Newborn Care (ENC) are often separated from postnatal ward dyadic care and sent to Neonatal Units (NUs) due personnel workload, training gaps both. Describe (1) of inborn newborns NUs at 2 hospitals (2) outcomes, including breastfeeding. We identified stable could potentially be managed by midwives wards with appropriate additional staffing. conducted a retrospective study January December 2022 on...
ABSTRACT. This paper comprises 261 low birth weight infants who were divided into four groups with different feeding schedules. Group I–expressed human milk for all the feeds; II–human half feeds and nursery formula rest; III–colostrum, 20 ml three times a day along formula; IV–control–only formula. The matched by means of randomised block design identifiable factors which could predispose to occurrence infection. Infections found be significantly less in received ( p <0.001).
A rise in the fat concentration of human milk within syringe was noted towards end continuous infusion but not with intermittent bolus gastric feeding. The former reduced most simply and effectively by using an eccentric nozzle tilting pump up at angle between 25 degrees 40 degrees.
A simple method to promote the use of human milk and subsequent breast feeding in low birthweight infants was evaluated 32 babies. In 9intervention9 group (n = 16; mean (SD) weight 1559 (228) g length gestation 33.2 (1.8) weeks), were allowed suckle at when their general condition permitted after as much possible had been expressed, then given full required feeds by tube. Full started soon infant could suck adequately. Sixteen control (mean 1605 (198) 34.1 (2.4) fed conventional manner only...
A simple method of assessment gestational age based on only four characteristics, namely, the anterior vascular capsule lens, plantar creases, breast nodule, and ear firmness, is presented. Critical evaluation by appropriate statistical analyses has shown this to be a useful practical value with 95% confidence limits 11 days. It applicable newborn infants, including sick babies, at any time within first 2 days life.
Abstract Swaziland's prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) programme is linked to maternal and newborn health (MNH) services, but mainly focussed on HIV/AIDS. Existing MNH services are inadequate, especially postnatal care (PNC) mothers babies, with delayed visits occurring at 4–6 weeks after delivery. Fifty-seven percent staff in seven Swazi facilities were trained promoting providing early PNC. A final evaluation showed a 20-fold increase the number coming for an visit (within...

<h3>Key Messages</h3> In global health, the initial focus on essential newborn care for all now includes adding specialized small and sick newborns. many low- middle-income countries (LMICs), this has resulted in transferring relatively stable newborns with risk factors who require observation minimal support to special/intensive units that are already overcrowded understaffed. To prevent needless separation from mothers overcrowding neonatal units, we propose an “at-risk” category of...
