Background Human milk, especially the mother’s own milk (MOM), is highly recommended for preterm babies considering its numerous benefits. Prioritising use of exclusive MOM in enteral feeding plans essential maximising health and development babies. This study evaluated effect early establishment full feed (FEF) with on rate neonatal nutritional outcomes at discharge among Methods A retrospective cohort was conducted using medical records single born between 27 33 +6 weeks gestational age...
Clinical profile of extreme preterm neonates and more so, microprimies with birth weight < 800 g is not studied till now. Our article elaborates the 5 C.auris sepsis review literature. The mean gestational age were 26 weeks ± days 709 64 respectively. Mortality was 80%. organism susceptible to micafungin, voriconazole but resistant fluconazole amphotericin. Among babies, one had organ involvement in form cardiac vegetation. Early identification optimal choice drug are crucial for better...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Hypoglycemia occurs in 5% to 15% of neonates the first few days. A significant proportion requires admission for intravenous fluids. Dextrose gel may reduce admissions and mother-infant separation. We aimed study utility dextrose reducing need METHODS This stratified randomized control trial included at-risk infants with asymptomatic hypoglycemia. Study populations were into 3 categories: small gestational age (SGA) intrauterine growth-restriction (IUGR), diabetic...
To reduce the incidence of metabolic bone disease (MBD) among very low birthweight (VLBW) infants admitted to neonatal intensive care unit from baseline 35% by 50% over 2 years implementing a quality improvement (QI) initiative.A multidisciplinary QI team used evidence-based interventions and healthcare model MBD rate in VLBW infants. The specific included routine enteral supplementation calcium phosphorus using Human Milk Fortifier (HMF) expressed breast milk day 14 life (Plan/Do/Study/Act...
Abstract Transient myeloproliferative disorder (TMD) is a self-limiting characteristically seen in neonates with Down syndrome or without somatic mosaicism. Trisomy-21 limited to the hematopoietic lineage alone has been described; awareness of which very important for appropriate evaluation and counseling phenotypically normal children. We report newborn TMD who presented at birth intracranial bleed secondary thrombocytopenia. Peripheral smear showed 10% blasts flow cytometry further...
Purpose: Preterm infants are at increased risk of adverse neurodevelopmental outcome (NDO). Cranial ultrasound has limited predictability. The purpose the study is to evaluate whether magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) done term equivalent age (TEA) predicts NDO 18-22 months corrected gestational (CGA).Materials and methods: This cohort preterm born ≤32 weeks gestation and/or birth weight <1500 grams between April 2011 August 2012 was conducted in a tertiary care institute India. MRI TEA...
Background: The emergence of carbapenem resistant organism (CRO) in the health care setting has been well-documented recently. CRO is an increasing cause neonatal infections all over world especially developing countries. Objective: aim was to study pattern, incidence, and antimicrobial sensitivity CROs Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Materials Methods: We conducted a retrospective observational between January 2011 June 2012. at tertiary level NICU. Blood cultures were done BACTEC 9120 or brain...
BackgroundIncubators and radiant warmers are essential equipment in neonatal care, but the typical 1,500 to 35,000 USD cost per device makes it unaffordable for many units low middle-income countries. We aimed determine whether stable preterm infants could maintain thermoregulation 48 h a low-cost incubator (LCI).MethodsThe LCI was constructed using servo-heater costing 200 cardboard infant-chamber. conducted this open-labeled non-inferiority randomized controlled trial tertiary level...
Purpose: Early initiation of breastfeeding (EIBF) significantly decreases neonatal mortality and improves exclusive breastfeeding. The objective the present study was to assess effect lactation support program (LSP) on early (BF) among term well infants. Methods: A "before-and-after" design used LSP EIBF at a tertiary care institute in India over period two half years. defined as BF initiated <1 hour vaginal delivery (VD) <2 hours cesarean section (CS). Impact assessed by comparing baseline...
Background: Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) has high morbidity and mortality. Many outcome predictors have been tried. Objective: To assess the short-term outcomes of neonates with isolated CDH find outcome. Methods: Neonates managed over 12-year period from June 2004 were analyzed. Antenatal counseling, delayed surgery after stabilization, primary conventional ventilation rescue frequency if needed is unit protocol. Details on baseline characteristics, delivery room management,...
Gastrointestinal (GI) malformations have varied short-term and long-term outcomes reported across various neonatal units in India.This descriptive study was done to the clinical profile, predictors of mortality neonates operated for congenital GI a tertiary care unit South India between years 2011 2020. Details were collected by retrospective review case sheets.Total 68 included with esophageal atresia (EA) 10, infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (IHPS) 9, duodenal (DA) ileal 8, jejunal...
Background: Incidence of retinopathy prematurity (ROP) and screening criteria among the preterm infants varies widely. The incidence ROP severe in different Birth Weight (BW) Gestational Age (GA) groups were studied. aim study was to review existing for based on highest birth weight or gestational age who developed ROP.Methods: This is a retrospective descriptive neonates with GA ≤ 34 weeks and/or BW 1750 gm screened by experienced ophthalmologist from January, 2011 December, 2015. End point...
Introduction: Inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) can present as acute metabolic emergencies resulting in significant morbidity or death. Good intensive care supportive management and specific crisis treatment by tertiary pediatric unit (PICU) play a crucial role optimizing the outcomes. Objectives: We aimed to study clinical profile outcome children with IEM presenting an PICU. Methods: This retrospective descriptive was conducted center south India between June 2016 December 2018. included...
Meconium peritonitis as a cause of non-immune hydrops in neonates is rarely reported. Here we report such rare occurrence. In our case, routine antenatal scan at 25 weeks revealed isolated ascites. By 31 gestation, all features were observed scans. However, workup for immune and was negative. Subsequently, preterm hydropic female baby delivered 32 weeks. She required intubation ventilator support. An X-ray calcification the abdomen suggestive meconium peritonitis. Ultrasound showed gross...
