Abstract Background Knowledge and skills decline within months post simulation-based training in neonatal resuscitation. To empower ‘Millennial’ learners to take control of their own learning, a single-player, unguided web-based Neonatal Resuscitation Game was designed. The present study investigates the effectiveness game on retention resuscitation knowledge skills. Methods evaluated 162 healthcare professionals who attended Following standard training, participants were assigned either...
Guided by the ALARA - "As Low As Reasonably Achievable" principle in radiation safety, a quality improvement project to optimise bedside diagnostic imaging process best standards of care was conducted over six month period. The goal too reduce hazard opportunities neonatal intensive unit at least 75% from existing level Q2/2015, within 6 months.The critically analysed and following initiatives were implemented namely, mandatory lead protective gear healthcare staff, gonadal shield for...
Umbilical venous catheter insertion is a common procedure in the neonatal units performed for rapid vascular access. Though relatively safe and easy to perform, suboptimal position of tip frequently encountered can lead wide range complications from thrombosis, extravasation with infusate intraperitoneal or intrapericardial space, liver injury cardiac arrhythmias. Identification may be difficult often confused related infection necrotising enterocolitis. We present series three cases...
This pilot study aimed to compare the pharmacokinetic profiles of oral (PO) and intravenous (IV) ibuprofen for treatment patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in preterm neonates.In a single-centre, parallel, randomised open-label trial, neonates ≤35 weeks, weight <1800 g with haemodynamically significant PDA during first week life were recruited between June 2017 February 2019 receive either PO or IV at standard dosage 10, 5 mg/kg every 24 h three consecutive days. Plasma concentrations quantified...
Trapped fourth ventricle (TFV) as a complication of post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus (PHH) is widely reported in the pediatric population with prior history ventriculo-peritoneal (VP) shunt placement. Characterized by disproportionate dilatation on serial neuro-imaging, it rarely encountered early course preterm infants and differentiating clinical features are subtle non-specific. Clinical alertness sonographic correlation hold key to diagnosis. We report an emergence TFV extremely low...
Abstract Purpose: Combination antibiotics consisting beta-lactam and aminoglycoside are commonly utilized in the treatment of neonatal septicaemia. The aims this study were (1) to determine safety efficacy revised gentamicin dosage regimen (2) compare intravascular (IV) versus intramuscular (IM) route administration, term attaining peak trough serum concentration targets. Methods: This was a retrospective from 2012 2017. All neonates who received with therapeutic drug monitoring performed...
Meconium peritonitis (MP) is a rare etiology for nonimmune hydrops fetalis. We report neonate delivered at 32 weeks' gestation in the context of antenatally diagnosed fetalis and first-trimester screening high risk Trisomy 21. The postnatal abdominal radiograph was striking gross ascites, paucity bowel gas, widespread calcifications, suggestive MP chromosomal analysis confirmed Exploratory laparotomy performed on day 3 life revealed large pseudocyst, ileal atresia with perforation....
