Importance Intravenous magnesium sulfate administered to pregnant individuals before birth at less than 30 weeks’ gestation reduces the risk of death and cerebral palsy in their children. The effects later gestational ages are unclear. Objective To determine whether administration 34 or 2 years. Design, Setting, Participants This randomized clinical trial enrolled expected deliver was conducted 24 Australian New Zealand hospitals between January 2012 April 2018. Intervention (4 g) compared...
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Withholding enteral feedings during hypothermia lacks supporting evidence. <b><i>Objectives:</i></b> We aimed to determine if minimal nutrition (MEN) in patients with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy was associated a reduced duration of parenteral nutrition, time full oral feeds, and length stay, but would not be increased systemic inflammation or feeding complications. <b><i>Methods:</i></b>...
Abstract The objectives of the study were to evaluate prognostic utility bedside monitoring tools for hypoxic–ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) outcome and develop a predictive model. This retrospective reviewed neonatal HIE treated with hypothermia between 2013 2016. Continuous video electroencephalography (vEEG) recordings scored background electrocerebral activity, seizure, sleep–wake cycles, rSO2 data stratified by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) severity. vEEG combined in analysis included...
Socio-economic status (SES) and ethnicity have been associated with worse maternal fetal outcomes. Counties Manukau is a region of New Zealand which has high portion the population living in areas low SES higher ethnic minorities (Pacific Islander, Asian Maaori). To determine whether are mortality morbidity preterm infants Hospital, Zealand.This retrospective cohort study compared mothers who live most deprived neighbourhoods to least neighbourhoods. Infants born between 2000 2019 were...
A female infant is born precipitously via vaginal delivery after spontaneous rupture of membranes. The mother a 24-year-old African American woman whose history includes 2 cesearean deliveries with no other medical concerns. current pregnancy complicated by limited prenatal care. gestational age unknown. infant’s birthweight 1,870 g, and her Ballard score consistent an estimated 32 weeks gestation. In the room, neonate has cry but frothy oral secretions low heart rate requiring positive...
Objective Due to logistical constraints, physicians traditionally delay diagnostic imaging for neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) until the neonate has completed all 72 hours of therapeutic hypothermia and rewarming. In some cases, neonates may require neuroimaging before passed. Study Design We present a case in which an MRI was acquired during active hypothermia. Results Upon return NICU, Baby X's temperature probe read 33.6 degrees, indicating that likely maintained at target...
