Each year in the United States, ∼3500 infants die of sleep-related infant deaths, including sudden death syndrome (SIDS) (International Classification Diseases, 10th Revision [ICD-10] R95), ill-defined deaths (ICD-10 R99), and accidental suffocation strangulation bed W75). After a substantial decline 1990s, overall rate attributable to has remained stagnant since 2000, disparities persist. The triple risk model proposes that SIDS occurs when an with intrinsic vulnerability (often manifested...
Probiotic products in the United States are available for use general category of dietary supplements, bypassing rigor US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval process safety, efficacy, manufacturing standards. As a result, currently probiotics lack FDA-approved drug labeling cannot be marketed to treat or prevent disease preterm infants, including necrotizing enterocolitis late-onset sepsis. Despite availability pharmaceutical-grade product, number infants receiving Canada is steadily...

The American Academy of Pediatrics published a clinical report on late-preterm (LPT) infants in 2007 that was largely based summary 2005 workshop convened by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute Child Health and Human Development, at which change terminology from “near term” to “late preterm” proposed. This paradigm-shifting recommendation had remarkable impact: federal agencies (the Centers for Disease Control Prevention), professional societies College Obstetricians...
Neuroimaging of the preterm infant is a common assessment performed in NICU. Timely and focused studies can be used for diagnostic, therapeutic, prognostic information. However, significant variability exists among neonatal units as to which modalities are when imaging obtained. Appropriate timing selection neuroimaging help identify neonates with brain injury who may require therapeutic intervention or at risk neurodevelopmental impairment. This clinical report reviews different broadly...
Background/Objectives: Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is one of the most devastating gastrointestinal emergencies in preterm infants. This quality improvement (QI) project aimed to increase utilization accepted evidence-based practices our neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) ultimately decrease incidence NEC level III NICU. Methods: Our QI team implemented a bundle nine these evidenced-based for prevention and disseminated information among NICU team. Items included delayed cord clamping,...
Intramuscular administration of vitamin K for prevention deficiency bleeding (VKDB) has been a standard care since the American Academy Pediatrics recommended it in 1961. Despite success VKDB with administration, incidence appears to be on rise. This increase is attributable parental refusal as well lowered efficacy alternate methods administration. The aim this statement discuss current knowledge respect term and preterm infant address concerns regarding
Point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS) refers to the use of portable imaging performed by provider clinician at bedside for diagnostic, therapeutic, and procedural purposes. POCUS could be considered an extension physical examination but not a substitute diagnostic imaging. Use in emergency situations can lifesaving NICU if timely fashion cardiac tamponade, pleural effusions, pneumothorax, etc, with potential enhancing quality care improving outcomes. In past 2 decades, has gained significant...
Abstract The objective of the Registry was to characterize population infants receiving prophylaxis for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) disease by describing patterns and scope usage palivizumab in a cross section US infants. RSV hospitalization outcomes were also described. Palivizumab (Synagis®, MedImmune, Inc., 25 West Watkins Mill Road, Gaithersburg, MD 20878) Outcomes prospective multicenter survey conducted at 63 sites. Demographics, injection history, collected on 2,116 palivizumab....

<b>Objective</b> In 2010, an American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) clinical report recommended that except for emergent situations, premedication should be used all endotracheal intubations in newborns. The purpose this study is to ascertain the current practice before elective intubation. <b>Study Design</b> An online, survey-based questionnaire on nonemergent was distributed via e-mail neonatologists who are members Perinatal Section AAP. <b>Results</b> Although 72% respondents believed...
A large scale drug screening study was done to determine the prevalence of use in a metropolitan, obstetric population. Meconium and first voided urine, as well maternal urine were collected from 423 consecutive deliveries. Urine samples methanolic extracts meconium initially screened by Enzyme Multiplied Immunoassay Technique (EMIT) then confirmed Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS). Analysis cocaine metabolite benzoylecogonine, cannabinoid carboxy-THC, codeine, morphine methadone...
Of the nearly 3.8 million infants born in United States 2018, 8.3% had low birth weight (<2500 g [5.5 lb]) and 10% were preterm (gestational age of <37 completed weeks). Many these others with congenital anomalies, perinatally acquired infections, other disease require admission to a NICU. In past decade, rates NICUs have been increasing; it is estimated that between 15% will spend time NICU, representing approximately 500 000 neonates annually. Approximately 3600 die annually from...
