Neonatal sepsis causes a huge burden of morbidity and mortality and includes bloodstream, urine, cerebrospinal, peritoneal, and lung infections as well as infections starting from burns and wounds, or from any other usually sterile sites.

متن کاملProphylactic Ranitidine in Prevention of GI Bleeding in Neonatal Intensive Care Units
Background:Upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding remains a problem in critically ill-newborns. The use of H2 blockers, by maintaining gastric pH ³ 4, reduces the risk of stress-ulceration and gastric hemorrhage. This study therefore, has evaluated the effects of short-term prophylactic ranitidine in controlling gastric pH and prevention of GI bleeding in neonates. Methods: This randomized contr...

Despite optimal outcomes, the provision of palliative care for infants and achieving these outcomes may be hardly feasible. The present study aimed to investigate the barriers to palliative care and gain insight into the solutions. Accordingly, the obstacles wer...
متن کاملFrequency of device-associated infections in intensive care units
Background: Health care associated infections (HAIs) are a class of infections that infect patients during hospital admissions and receive medical services. These infections occurs within 48 to 72 hours of admission and up to 6 weeks after discharge. Surveillance of device-associated infections (DAIs) in intensive care units (ICUs) is substantial in planning healthcare strategies. This study wa...
متن کاملCatheter-related bloodstream infections in neonatal intensive care units
Central venous catheters (CVCs) are regularly used in intensive care units, and catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) remains a leading cause of healthcare-associated infections, particularly in preterm infants. Increased survival rate of extremely-low-birth-weight infants can be partly attributed to routine practice of CVC placement. The most common types of CVCs used in neonatal inte...
