There has been a growing emphasis on consumer representation in the development of health policy, services, research, and education. Existing literature critiqued how discourses representativeness can disempower consumers working systems. The context current study is engagement COVID-19 triage policy practice local service. Consumer often an afterthought COVID response, with few examples agenda-setting or decision-making roles. In Australian Capital Territory, 26 consumer, carer, community...
Family-integrated care (FICare) is an innovative model of developed at Mount Sinai Hospital, Canada, to better integrate parents into the team caring for their infant in neonatal intensive unit (NICU). The effects FICare on outcomes and parental anxiety were assessed international multicenter randomized trial. As Australian regional level 3 NICU that was intervention group, we aimed explore parent staff perceptions program our dual occupancy NICU.This qualitative study took place a with 5...
Placental mesenchymal dysplasia is an uncommon disorder in which the placenta enlarged with abnormal, large, and often cystic villi dilated and/or thick-walled vessels. These placental changes can mimic a partial hydatidiform mole but contrast to coexist fully viable fetus. Fetal anatomical vascular anomalies frequently dysplasia. In this case, was associated preterm labor at 33 weeks' gestation, fetal compromise, large abdominal mass hepatic cyst that de-roofed exploratory laparotomy. The...
<b>Objective:</b> To evaluate incidence and mortality of congenital heart disease in very low birthweight babies. <b>Method:</b> Retrospective analysis a 12 year period. <b>Results:</b> Forty seven babies were diagnosed with severe disease. The most common lesions ventricular septal defect coarctation the aorta. Mortality attributed to was 32%. Coarctation aorta, second lesion, fatal 62% cases. Closure patent ductus arteriosus indomethacin proved be detrimental undiagnosed coarctation,...
To evaluate the incidence and outcome of all neonates with demonstrated fetomaternal hemorrhages > or = 20 ml to assess possible predictors large hemorrhage outcome.Retrospective data analysis 1987-2000. Clinical included antenatal events, method delivery, condition at birth, hematology results, treatment outcome.Sixteen infants were identified treated for hemorrhage. Adverse occurred in five (31%). Outcome was predicted by postnatal presentation initial hemoglobin.Adverse amongst is high....
Neonatal herpes encephalitis is usually caused by simplex virus type 2 and results in significant morbidity mortality. Imaging diagnosis with ultrasound, computed tomography scan conventional magnetic resonance imaging may be normal the early course of disease. In this case diffusion-weighted detected disease process earlier better than T2-weighted or fluid-attenuated inversion recovery sequences. The use neonatal proved to a useful tool stage
Background: Many factors may effect blood pressure (BP) in the early neonatal period, including mode of delivery and anaesthesia, on which there is little reported. Aims: To determine whether delivery, anaesthesia maternal age have an BP first three days life. Methods: Healthy, term neonates from August 2003–2005 were enrolled study. Infants mothers with hypertension any cause, diabetes illicit substance use, congenital or chromosomal anomaly, admission to intensive care unit excluded....

Aim: To find out the knowledge and attitudes of health‐care professionals (HCPs) in Australian neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) towards breast milk banking (BMBg) pasteurised donated (PDBM). Methods: Cross‐sectional structured survey HCPs all 25 NICUs Australia. Results: Response rate was 43.4% ( n = 358 825). Participants included nurses midwives (291, 81.3%) remainder were neonatologists trainees (67, 18.7%). A variable number agreed that PDBM would decrease risk necrotising...
Abstract Background Sepsis is a life-threatening condition which may arise from infection in any organ system and requires early recognition management. Healthcare professionals working specialty need to manage patients with sepsis. Educating medical students about this be an effective way ensure all future doctors have sufficient ability diagnose treat septic patients. However, there currently no consensus on what competencies should achieve regarding sepsis treatment. This study aims...
Aim This study aims to characterise current pain management practices in extremely preterm infants (gestational age less than or equal 28 weeks) admitted neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Methods Retrospective audit pertaining patient characteristics, as well minor painful procedures (MPP), mitigation and scoring 25 a tertiary NICU 2016 over the first 14 days of admission. Opportunities bundle MPP were identified according pre‐specified criteria. Bayley Scales Infant Development, Third...
In 2012, a tertiary neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) transitioned from an open plan (OP) to dual occupancy (DO) NICU. The DO design aimed provide developmental appropriate, family-centered environment for neonates and their families. During planning, staff questioned the impact would have on workflow activity. To explore of changing OP NICU, prospective longitudinal study was undertaken 2011 2014, using observational, time motion, surveys methods. Main outcome measures included distance...
