A simulation study of gel pillow heat conductance.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSION: The results of this simulation study suggest that use of the gel pillow outside of a thermally controlled environment and in an open crib environment may increase energy use to maintain thermoneutrality. The Squishon 2 gel pillow conducts heat from the mannequin head and may increase kilocalories per day consumption in the preterm infant. Furthermore, the results of the study support previous findings that a hat helps conserve energy. PMID: 19823134 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Advances in Neonatal Care)

Preventing postpartum smoking relapse: an opportunity for neonatal nurses.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Smoking during pregnancy and exposure to environmental tobacco smoke have harmful and sometimes devastating effects on the health of the newborn. Although interventions for smoking cessation during pregnancy demonstrate effectiveness for increasing smoking abstinence, the majority of women relapse in the postpartum period. However, modifying contributing factors for relapse may improve the success of sustained abstinence. Many parents are eager to quit smoking and willing to participate in smoking cessation interventions. Through a population-based approach to healthcare, neonatal nurses are in an ideal position to pre...

Nonoral feeding practices for infants in the neonatal intensive care unit.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSIONS: The results of this survey indicate that there are no clear clinical guidelines currently in place to determine route of feeding tubes in NICUs across Canada. Physician preference or history of the institution appears to be the most important variable in determining tube selection. Given the high prevalence of acute and chronic feeding difficulties among NICU survivors, the choice of route of tube should be guided by specific evidence-based criteria.

Pain management during retinopathy of prematurity eye examinations: a systematic review.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) remains a concern for many preterm infants. Early detection and timely treatment have been shown to be effective in improving visual outcomes; moreover, it is crucial that a series of indirect ophthalmic examinations be performed until an infant is considered no longer at risk for the disease. The purpose of this systematic review is to summarize and evaluate the published evidence regarding characteristics and effectiveness of pain management interventions during the ROP examination. Implications for practice are discussed and suggestions for further research are made. Despite the gene...

Rapid sequence intubation in the neonate.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Rapid sequence intubation (RSI) is premedication prior to intubation that includes atropine, a sedative, and a neuromuscular blockage. Rapid sequence intubation is infrequently performed in neonates despite evidence that it is safe and effective. Neonates that experience endotracheal intubation often display apnea and cardiac arrhythmias, decreased or obstructed nasal airflow, increased systolic blood pressure, and decreased heart rate and transcutaneous oxygen tension. Infants can also experience increased anterior fontanel pressure, which can place them at greater risk for intraventricular hemorrhage. Rapid sequence ...

Benevolent injustice: a neonatal dilemma.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
There is a little-recognized cohort of NICU patients whose outcomes are the result of a "benevolent injustice" in their healthcare course. Many of these infants are saved by technology; however, they are left both medically fragile and medically dependent, and many of them are required to live in a medical facility. Many of these babies never get to go home with their parents. This emerging cohort of patients may evolve from the difficult ability to prognosticate outcomes for neonates, overtreatment, and acquiescing to parental demands for continued aggressive care. Neonatology is an unpredictable process and one that ...

Recognition of caudal regression syndrome.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Caudal regression syndrome, also referred to as caudal dysplasia and sacral agenesis syndrome, is a rare congenital malformation characterized by varying degrees of developmental failure early in gestation. It involves the lower extremities, the lumbar and coccygeal vertebrae, and corresponding segments of the spinal cord. This is a rare disorder, and true pathogenesis is unclear. The etiology is thought to be related to maternal diabetes, genetic predisposition, and vascular hypoperfusion, but no true causative factor has been determined. Fetal diagnostic tools allow for early recognition of the syndrome, and careful ...

Neonatal hemochromatosis: a case report.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Neonatal hemochromatosis is a rare disease of iron metabolism, characterized by the excess accumulation of iron in the tissues. This occurs in utero and can lead to fetal demise or an infant who presents with advanced liver disease in the neonatal period. A case of neonatal hemochromatosis is reported in a 37-week infant who presented at birth with thrombocytopenia, coagulopathy, and abnormal liver imaging studies. The diagnoses of infection and metabolic errors were excluded before the confirmation of neonatal hemochromatosis was made. This diagnosis was confirmed by elevated ferritin levels and extrahepatic siderosis...
