Transfer of preterm infants from incubator to open cot at lower versus higher body weight.
BACKGROUND The use of incubators in helping to maintain a thermoneutral environment for preterm infants has become routine practice in neonatal nurseries. As one of the key criteria for discharging preterm infants from nurseries is their ability to maintain temperature; the infant will need to make the transition from incubator to open cot at some time before discharge. The timing of this trans...
متن کاملThe mood variation in mothers of preterm infants in Kangaroo mother care and conventional incubator care.
Preterm babies are more prone to develop disorders and so require immediate intensive care. In the conventional neonatal intensive care, the baby is kept in the incubator, separated from the mother. Some actions have been taken in order to make this mother-child separation less traumatic. One of these actions is the Kangaroo mother care (KMC) characterized by skin-to-skin contact between a moth...
متن کاملComparing nursing costs for preterm infants receiving conventional vs. developmental care.

Developmental care for VLBW infants focuses on light and noise management, coordination of interventions to minimize sleep interruptions and positioning/bundling the infant to prevent disorganizaiton and promote self-...
متن کاملFeasibility of transferring intensive cared preterm infants from incubator to open crib at 1600 grams
BACKGROUND Ability to maintain a normal body temperature in an open crib is an important physiologic competency generally requested to discharge preterm infants from the hospital. The aim of this study is to assess the feasibility of an early weaning protocol from incubator in preterm newborns in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. METHODS 101 infants with birth weight < 1600 g were included in t...
متن کاملTranspyloric versus gastric tube feeding for preterm infants.
BACKGROUND Enteral feeding tubes for preterm infants may be placed in the stomach (gastric tube feeding) or in the upper small bowel (transpyloric tube feeding). There are potential advantages and disadvantages to both routes. OBJECTIVES To determine the effect of feeding via the transpyloric route versus feeding via the gastric route on feeding tolerance, growth and development, and adverse ...
