To gain an understanding of the variation in available resources and clinical practices between neonatal units (NNUs) low-income middle-income country (LMIC) setting to inform design observational study on burden unit-level antimicrobial resistance (AMR).A web-based survey using a REDCap database was circulated NNUs participating Neonatal AMR research network. The included questions about NNU funding structure, size, admission rates, access supportive therapies, empirical guidelines period...
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) is the standard noninvasive respiratory support for newborns with distress. Evidence high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) as an alternative mode of inconclusive. <b><i>Objective:</i></b> The aim this work was to evaluate whether HFNC not inferior nCPAP in reducing need higher first 72 h life when applied a preterm neonates <b><i>Methods:</i></b>...
Background With increasing use of nCPAP, the safety and comfort associated with nCPAP have come into forefront. The reported incidence nasal injuries is 20% to 60%. A recent meta-analysis concluded that masks significantly decreases CPAP failure moderate severe injury stress need for a well powered RCT confirm their findings. Methods In this Open label, 3 arms, sequential, stratified randomized controlled trial, we evaluated severity at removal when using two different interfaces in three...
Abstract Aim: To study the effect of Kangaroo mother care in ward comparison with conventional at neonatal unit on growth and breastfeeding very low birth weight infants 40 weeks’ corrected gestational age. Methods: One hundred forty neonates <1500 g were randomized. The primary outcome was average gain (g/kg/day) from time randomization to term Results: Mean weight, age days similar both groups. At age, post (23.3 ± 8.7 vs. 22.64 9.1 g, p = 0.67) rate (85.9% 87.0%) comparable. There no...
The prevalence of antimicrobial resistance in India is among the highest world. Antimicrobial use inpatient settings an important driver resistance, but poorly characterized, particularly hospitalized children. In this study, conducted as part Global Resistance, Prescribing, and Efficacy Neonates Children (GARPEC) project, we examined indications use, well agents used children by conducting four point surveys six hospitals between February 2016 2017. A total 681 were across all survey days,...
Close monitoring of growth pattern in preterm neonates is essential to identify any deviations from the normal pattern. But, there no international consensus regarding how should be monitored or what constitutes ideal these premature infants.To compare incidence IUGR & EUGR ≤32 weeks gestational age based on Fenton 2013 curves and Intergrowth-21 standards.Retrospective Cohort Study.Tertiary care neonatal unit with nearly 1000 admissions unit.All newborns (230 6/7 days) admitted NICU within...
Securing long-term venous access is an essential part of sick newborn care. The malposition central line tip leads to several complications. There a need for easily available bedside investigating tool diagnose these malpositions. This study was done compare the effectiveness real-time ultrasound (RTUS) with X-ray in identifying peripherally inserted catheter (PICC) tip.This pilot observational conducted level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit tertiary care hospital India, from June 2012...
Context Morbidity and mortality amongst extremely low birth weight (ELBW) gestational age neonates (ELGANs) in developing nations has not been well studied. Objectives Evaluate survival until discharge, short- long-term morbidities of ELBW ELGANs LMICs. Data sources CENTRAL, EMBASE, MEDLINE Web Science. Study selection Prospective retrospective observational studies were included. extraction synthesis Four authors extracted data independently. Random-effects meta-analysis proportions was...
While there have been studies in adults reporting discordant empiric antibiotic treatment associated with poor outcomes, this area is relatively unexplored children and neonates despite evidence of increasing resistance to recommended first-line regimens.Patient characteristics, treatment, microbiology, 30-day all-cause outcome from <18 years blood-culture-confirmed bacterial bloodstream infections (BSI) were collected anonymously using REDCap™ through the Global Antibiotic Prescribing...
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Preterm neonates with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) benefit from early application of nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP). However, it is not clear whether surfactant should be administered as a routine to all such infants or later in selective manner. <b><i>Objective:</i></b> It was the aim this study compare efficacy versus late treatment reducing need for mechanical ventilation (MV) during first...
