SUMMARY Objective To describe patterns of clinical bleeding in neonates with severe thrombocytopenia ( ST and platelet count <60 × 10 9 L −1 ), to investigate the factors related bleeding. Study design Seven tertiary‐level neonatal units enrolled n = 169) . Data were collected prospectively on all clinically apparent haemorrhages. Relationships between bleeding, baseline characteristics explored through regression analysis. Results Bleeding was recorded most (138/169; 82%), including 123...

Objective Catheter-related sepsis (CRS) is a major complication with significant morbidity and mortality. Evidence lacking regarding the most appropriate antiseptic for skin disinfection before percutaneous central venous catheter (PCVC) insertion in preterm neonates. To inform feasibility design of definitive randomised controlled trial (RCT) two formulations, we conducted Antiseptic Randomised Controlled Trial Insertion Catheters (ARCTIC) study to assess colonisation, sepsis, morbidity....

We report a term infant born by emergency C-section for fetal bradycardia. Active labour was established at the time of section, resulting in fetus being deeply impacted and difficult to extract. Baby pale floppy but responded inflation breaths. Antenatal scans were unremarkable. She noted have depression measuring 4×4 cm right parietal area. Skull x-ray (figure 1) showed depressed fracture bone. There no …

<h3>Background</h3> The East of England (EoE) perinatal networks have 18 neonatal units including three network intensive care units. Different historically used different drug infusion policies. For transferred babies this increases stabilisation time, costs and risks from infection medication error. <h3>Aims</h3> (1) Survey the concentrations across region. (2) Agree implement regional unified prescribing. <h3>Method</h3> Between June October 2009 an email questionnaire was sent to...
