Effects of position on oxygen saturation and heart rate in very low birth weight neonates
Background: Desirable oxygenation of preterm newborns has particular importance, for this reason different methods have been proposed to improve oxygenation of the newborns; one of these methods is the newborns' position. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of the position of low birth weight neonates on arterial oxygen saturation and heart rate. Methods: This interventional st...
متن کاملUltrasonographic Confirmation of Endotracheal Tube Position in Neonates.
OBJECTIVE To compare endotracheal tube tip-to-carina distance obtained by ultrasonography vs. that obtained by chest X-ray in neonates. METHODS After endotracheal intubation of 40 neonates, chest X-ray and, within one hour, ultrasonography was obtained for each patient for measurement of endotracheal tube tip-to-carina distance. RESULTS Means of endotracheal tube tip-to-carina distances wer...
متن کاملProphylactic effect of zinc sulphate on hyperbilirubinemia in premature very low birth weight neonates: a randomized clinical trial
Introduction: One of the common problems in neonatal period is jaundice that occurs in the first week of birth in 60% of term and 80% of preterm neonates. In preterm newborn hyperbilirubinaemia is higher, persistent, longer, and more likely to be associated with neurological injury than term neonates. The purpose of this study was to determine Prophylactic effect of zinc sulphate on hyperbiliru...
متن کاملThe Effect of Endotracheal Tube Suctioning Education of Nurses on Decreasing Pain in Premature Neonates
OBJECTIVE Endotracheal tube suctioning (ETS) is a painful and invasive procedure. Studies have shown that the performance of nurses in this procedure is weak, so we conducted a study to evaluate the effect of ETS education for nurses on neonates' pain in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). METHODS In a quasi-experimental study, performance of 25 nurses working in NICU was assessed before a...
متن کاملUltrasound Measurement of Kidney Dimensions in Premature Neonates
Background Ultrasonography is a non-invasive and accurate diagnostic method to evaluate urinary system and its anomalies in the neonates. Kidney sonographic measurement can be used as an alternative method to estimate gestational age. The aim of this study was to measure kidney size in preterm neonates and to provide a guide reference for gestational age. <...
