Background Neonatal sepsis is the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in neonatal intensive care units. The volume blood taken for culture remains one most important factors isolating microorganisms. Objectives To evaluate impact intervention on submitted to identify influencing as determined by phlebotomist. Methods Blood was weighing bottle before immediately after inoculation. A 3-month preintervention audit revealed that 126/130 samples (96.9%), suboptimal. Multiple measures were...
It is unresolved whether low haemoglobin (Hb) and symptoms of anaemia reflect oxygen delivery-consumption imbalances (fractional tissue extraction [FTOE]). Here, we test pre-transfusion Hb correlate with cerebral splanchnic FTOE.This prospective cohort study was carried out between Sept 1, 2014 Nov 30, 2016 at Nepean Hospital, Sydney, Australia. The enroled haemodynamically stable preterm infants: gestation <32 weeks; birth weight <1500 gs; postmenstrual age <37weeks, who received 15 mL/kg...
Aim To investigate the effects of prolonging hang time total parenteral nutrition ( TPN ) fluid on central line–associated blood stream infection CLABSI ), ‐related cost and nursing workload. Methods A before–after observational study comparing practice hanging bags for 48 h (6 F ebruary 2009–5 2010) versus 24 2008–5 2009) in a tertiary neonatal intensive care unit was conducted. The main outcome measures were , expenses Results One hundred thirty‐six infants received 24‐h 124 48‐h bags....
<h3>Importance</h3> The pathogenesis of transfusion-associated necrotizing enterocolitis remains elusive. Splanchnic hypoperfusion associated with packed red blood cell transfusion (PRBCT) and feeding has been implicated, but studies splanchnic tissue oxygenation respect to plus PRBCT are lacking. <h3>Objective</h3> To investigate the oxygen utilization efficiency preterm gut brain challenged bolus during anemia after using near-infrared spectroscopy. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3>...
Background It is well established that counter-regulation to hypoxia follows a hierarchical pattern, with brain-sparing in preference peripheral tissues. In contrast, it unknown if the same sequence applies recovery from after correction of anemia packed red blood cell transfusion (PRBCT). Objective To understand chronology cerebral and splanchnic tissue oxygenation resulting by PRBCT preterm infants using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). Design Prospective cohort study. Setting Neonatal...
Abstract A preterm infant with congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) who developed a right‐sided pulmonary air leak syndrome (pulmonary interstitial emphysema and bronchopleural fistula) following CCAM resection is reported. The was successfully ameliorated by intubating the right mainstem bronchus using modified endotracheal tube that allowed selective ventilation of left lung. procedure used as rescue treatment to control confirm functional adequacy lung prior definitive...
Radiolucency in the superior mediastinum may be caused by a congenital cystic mass or pneumomediastinum. Most cases of pneumomediastinum occur preterm newborns with surfactant deficiency receiving treatment positive pressure ventilation. Spontaneous term neonates is also rarely reported. We report outcome for neonate respiratory distress who was transferred surgical evaluation mediastinal mass.
Abstract Background Splanchnic‐cerebral oxygenation ratio (SCOR), the of splanchnic tissue oxygen (StO 2 s) to simultaneously measured cerebral c), has been described as a surrogate detect impaired associated with hypoperfusion status such necrotizing enterocolitis. This concept is based on presumption that any change in SCOR indicates corresponding numerator, whereas denominator remains stable. However, it questionable utilise this changes context packed red blood cell transfusion (PRBCT)....
This article presents the near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) dataset of cerebral (StO2c) and splanchnic (StO2s) oxygenation in 29 stable premature infants admitted to a tertiary neonatal intensive care unit who received elective packed red blood cell transfusion (PRBCT) treat anemia prematurity. StO2c StO2s data were prospectively recorded continuously from at least 4 hours before beginning PRBCT until 24 after its completion, using 4-wavelength monitor (FORE-SIGHT® absolute oximeter, CASMED,...
