Preventing hypothermia in preterm newborns - simple principles for a complicated task.
Hypothermia is a major contributor to newborn mortality worldwide and remains a common problem for very low birthweight (VLBW) infants, even in technologically advanced hospital settings. The attributable risk of mortality from hypothermia is difficult to establish from the scant randomized trials on delivery room stabilization of VLBW newborns, but the relationship between admission temperatur...
متن کاملInflammatory Response in Preterm and Very Preterm Newborns with Sepsis
The response of the adaptive immune system is usually less intense in premature neonates than term neonates. The primary objective of this study was to determine whether immunological parameters vary between preterm (PT) neonates (≥32 weeks of gestational age) and very preterm (VPT) neonates (<32 weeks of gestational age). A cross-sectional study was designed to prospectively follow PT and VPT ...
متن کاملHypothermia for newborns with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy.
Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) remains a significant cause of mortality and long-term disability in late preterm and term infants. Mild therapeutic hypothermia to a rectal temperature of 34±0.5°C initiated as soon as possible within the first 6 h of life decreases mortality and severe long-term neurodevelopmental disabilities in infants with moderate HIE who are ≥36 weeks' gestational ag...
متن کاملReducing hypothermia in preterm infants following delivery.
BACKGROUND Moderate hypothermia (temperature <36°C) at birth is common in premature infants and is associated with increased mortality and morbidity. METHODS A multidisciplinary practice plan was implemented to determine in premature infants <35 weeks old whether a multifaceted approach would reduce the number of inborn infants with an admitting axillary temperature <36°C by 20% without incre...
متن کاملCirculating 5-hydroxytryptamine concentrations in preterm newborns.
Alterations in circulating 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) concentrations play a role in the pathophysiology of respiratory failure in adults. We undertook a study to develop a micromethod and measure circulating free 5-HT concentrations in preterm newborns with and without respiratory distress. Forty-six samples of platelet-poor plasma were obtained from 29 preterm newborns with varying degrees of ...
