Poor sucking reflexes make it difficult to initiate breastfeeding for these high-risk infants. Mothers need to understand the difficulties of breastfeeding, as well as the advantages for herself and her baby. It is important for nurses to be well educated on how preterm infants are breastfed and how to best support the mother through her experience. The nurse must focus on caring for the infant as well as fostering the mother-infant connection to promote breastfeeding. A mother will need continual support, encouragement, and advice from the nurse, while teaching her baby how to breastfeed. PMID: 22301537 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Ad...

The signaling molecule NO, produced by NO synthase, is a molecule that is widespread in the body and important in multiple organ systems. Soon after its discovery, investigators found NO to be a potent pulmonary vasodilator in term neonates. Nitric oxide has come to perform a key function in neonatal therapy and management since its identification, especially in those with respiratory failure. It is conventionally used in the neonatal population for the treatment of persistent pulmonary hypertension, resulting in hypoxic respiratory failure of the term or near-term newborn. Inhaled NO ...

Carnitine palmitoyltransferase-1A is the rate-limiting enzyme that allows the body to process fats to provide energy during times of fasting and illness. Patients usually present between birth and 18 months of age following an illness with various symptoms including hypoketotic hypoglycemia, lethargy, and seizures. Diagnosis can be achieved through newborn metabolic screening. Long-term treatment is managed through dietary management. A milder form has been found to occur at a much higher incidence in the Inuit population. Since the recent discovery of CPT-1A deficiency, much is yet to be learned. Researchers are...

Neonates born at or above 6800 feet exhibit "normal" oxygen saturation levels between 91% to 96% rather than the expected 97% found at sea level. These reference values for varying altitudes can guide clinicians to avoid hypoxemia or hyperoxia. If routine oxygen saturation screening for detection of critical congenital heart defects is implemented, these results will provide clinicians the mean values specific for additional altitudes, thus preventing unnecessary interventions when results are lower than the expected 97%.

However, a universal definition for this concept is lacking. Properly defining a concept is a key step in a successful research project. A concept analysis is an examination of the fundamental elements of a concept to bring clarification and definition to the topic of interest. The purpose of this concept analysis was to clarify the phenomenon of feeding intolerance in the premature infant and to provide a universal conceptual and operational definition for researchers and clinicians to use in practice theory.

Diagnosis of primary pulmonary, cardiac, metabolic, neurologic disease, or injury was excluded before the diagnosis of CCHS was made. The diagnosis was confirmed by a PHOX2B sequence analysis. A tracheotomy was performed and the infant was discharged home on a home ventilator with outpatient follow-up. The clinical presentation of CCHS, as well as diagnosis and treatment strategies, is reviewed.

Few families are prepared for the difficult decisions that must be made if their unborn children are diagnosed with a life-limiting condition. Expectant parents are compelled to make decisions on the basis of limited options. A systematic review of the literature is presented with an aim to inform clinicians of parental experiences and outcomes after diagnosis of a fetal anomaly. The review focused on patients given a diagnosis for fetal anomalies for the 40-year period from 1970 to 2010 by using the key words such as fetal anomaly, congenital malformations, pregnancy termination, perinatal palliative care, and perinatal hospice. Regardless of the option taken, wome...

Neonatal nurse practitioners are a part of this group. Yet, there are no guidelines in place regarding shift length. Fatigue among shift workers is well documented and carries risks to both patients and health care providers. It is crucial to analyze this problem so that the neonatal nurse practitioner profession can move forward with establishing guidelines for practice; so safe, quality care to patients is assured and the health as well as the role satisfaction of the neonatal nurse practitioner is optimized.

Our findings indicate that mandatory universal MRSA screening is not warranted when the incidence of MRSA is low. Just as health care providers require evidence when determining best practices, legislators should require adequate evidence before passing policy.

Such experience and skill vary from nurse to nurse and may not be based on recent research, nor tailored to each neonate's feeding skill. An evidence-based neonatal oral feeding guideline was produced to improve oral feeding practices among nurses and parents. The implementation was initially less than ideal, resulting in poor compliance. A bedside reference poster was designed to serve as a visual succinct reminder of the oral feeding guideline.

Instead the focus, in part due to John Bowlby's Attachment Theory, has centered on the critical need for a child to develop a secure attachment to his caregiver. To be sure, this has provided a valuable contribution to understanding and promoting a child's well-being in his early years and beyond. Yet Bowlby's theory is limited in its discussion of the meaning of human touch and its role in development of attachment. As such, it now becomes more critical to delve into the factors that significantly foster development of attachment, specifically the concept of human touch. With recognition of the importance for a child to develop secure attachment to ...

Fetal ascites was detected on a regular ultrasonographic examination, and fetal distress was found on cardiotocographic monitoring. The mother had noticed a slight decrease in fetal movements over the preceding 24 hours. Prenatal magnetic resonance imaging allowed us to distinguish the meconium from fetal peritoneal fluid and to evaluate the degree of compression of the fetal thoracic cavity. The infant was delivered by emergency cesarean section and demonstrated tense abdominal ascites with edema at birth. She required cardiopulmonary resuscitation and immediate paracentesis.

Although a number of prevention strategies have been identified, hypothermia is still a common event, especially in extremely low birth weight infants. Using data from four centers, we documented an incidence of hypothermia on admission to the neonatal intensive care unit from the delivery room of 31-78% for infants < 1500 g birth weight. Increased efforts will be necessary to prevent early hypothermia in very preterm infants, especially with respect to the environmental conditions of the delivery room itself.

Morbidity and mortality in these VLBW infants has remained higher than those in any other group of infants because of their innate vulnerability and because of exposure to risk factors in the environment. This leaves the premature infant vulnerable to cold stress especially in the first hours to weeks of life. At birth, the VLBW infant emerges from a warm, fluid environment and is thrust into a cold, abrasive environment before the protective layers of the epidermis have developed. Within minutes of birth, the core temperature begins to fall, particularly in infants whose birth weights are less than 1500 g. Hypothermia is a major caus...

Attempts to treat a number rather than after assessment and develop a sound plan of care based on findings, will affect both short- and long-term outcomes.

Recent evidence demonstrates that early nutritional support is not only safe but likely necessary to optimize infant growth and neurodevelopment. In fact, nutrition management is a critical factor in very low-birth-weight infant golden hour support. Contemporary studies in protein and lipid intravenous support and early feeds as minimal enteral nutrition exhibit safety and some efficacy. We will present analysis of this evidence and development of potential better practices on the basis of these data as well as a review of golden hour...

We realized the need for improvement when we reviewed comparative data indicating that our rates of ROP were higher than those in NICUs in our local area, across the United States, and around the world. After informal efforts appeared successful in significantly reducing ROP, we designed and implemented a more structured approach to ROP prevention that included improvements in practice related to oxygen administration and monitoring. An evidence-based guideline was developed, and education was provided to all direct care providers. We also standardized bedside oxygen delivery equipment and implemented new parameters related to nasal cannula weaning. Rates of RO...

There are many risks involved in air transportation. It is well documented that the safety of rotor wing flights has been questioned. Fixed wing transport is viewed as a safer mode of transportation. Air transportation has risks other than vehicle accidents, and increasing altitude encountered in both fixed and rotor wing transportation can cause significant distress to both the transport crew and the patient. Knowledge and awareness of these risks by the flight team can help to alleviate unnecessary risks and complications encountered during air transportation and ensure a safe arrival of both the team and the patient.

Paternal self-reported stress and depressive symptomatology was independent of infant illness. One third of fathers had persistently elevated CES-D scores. If these findings are representative of general NICU population, then the emotional needs of our fathers are not being fully addressed.

Cervical teratomas are rare and account for 1.5% to 5.5% of all pediatric teratomas. These types of tumors are the result of abnormal development of pluripotent cells. The following case study describes a 36-week male infant who was prenatally diagnosed with a large cervical mass. The neonate was delivered via the EXIT (ex utero intrapartum treatment) procedure, with expert teams present. After stabilization, the infant was transferred to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at Childrens Hospital Los Angeles. The teratoma was removed on day of life 5.

The purpose of this study is to describe the lived experience of what it is like to be a mother of an extremely low birth-weight infant during their stay with their infants in the NICU. Interpretive phenomenology articulated by Benner and Diekelmann is the method of qualitative research employed. Thematic analysis is the method of narrative analysis that is used to capture and describe the lived experience with emerging themes, patterns, and meanings. Participants were chosen by purposive sampling. Sample size was 9 participants. Repeated interviews of the participants were done to obtain "re...

Gestational diabetes mellitus includes glucose intolerance identified during pregnancy and affects approximately 7% of all pregnancies worldwide or more than 200,000 cases annually. Depending upon the population studied and the diagnostic tests employed, the prevalence may range from 1% to 14% of all pregnancies. The article comprises 2 parts in which internal and external factors are discussed concerning pathophysiologic pathways and psychosocial influences. Social determinants of health affect the development of GDM. Gestational diabetes mellitus is increas...

While vast changes in the neonatal intensive care unit have occurred over the last 2 decades, little research has addressed the loss of exposure to maternal voice for the preterm infant. To address this gap, we compared studies that directly investigated effects of exposure to maternal voice on preterm infants. Studies reviewed were conducted between 1972 and 2007. All presented recordings of maternal voice at sound levels above current recommendations, and few of the findings reached statistical significance. Some potentially positive developmental effects were indicated. Fu...

There is a wide spectrum of brain and eye defects associated with this diagnosis; therefore, this diagnosis may not initially be considered. This diagnosis is especially difficult for families because there is no treatment available and management of the condition is supportive only. Parents of an infant with WWS need to be shown support and empathy while they are dealing with the sorrow of a terminal illness. Use of a nursing model, "Middle range theory of chronic sorrow," will be instrumental in assisting staff as they care for the patient and the patient's family. They also need to be guided toward rec...

Clinical features of HLH include fever, hepatosplenomegaly, cytopenias, hypertriglyceridemia, hypofibrinogenemia, elevated blood levels of ferritin, lymphadenopathy, skin rash, jaundice, and edema. Often, the symptoms of HLH are misinterpreted as infection, resulting in inadequate treatment and death. Several case studies of premature neonates with HLH have recently been published.

Typically, HLH is characterized by fever, hepatosplenomegaly, cytopenia, hypertriglyceridemia, hypofibrinogenemia, and hemophagocytosis. However, the premature infant with HLH may present differently making diagnosis of the disease cumbersome. If an infant is born with ascites, cytopenias, hypofibrinogenemia, and hepatosplenomegaly, a diagnosis of HLH cannot be ruled out. In addition, premature infants oftentimes will not present with fever because they are kept normothermic from ambient sources. Reports of premature infants with HLH in the literature are rare.
