Wideband acoustic immittance for assessing middle ear functioning for preterm neonates in the neonatal intensive care unit
BACKGROUND The primary aim of newborn hearing screening is to detect permanent hearing loss. Because otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) and automated auditory brainstem response (AABR) are sensitive to hearing loss, they are often used as screening tools. On the other hand, false-positive results are most often because of transient outer- and middle ear conditions. Wideband acoustic immittance (WAI),...
متن کاملEffect of Clustered Nursing Care on Sleep Behaviors of the Preterm Neonates Admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
Background: Premature neonates admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) undergo sleep disorder due to various manipulations. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of clustered nursing care on sleep behaviors in premature neonates admitted to NICUs. Methods: This clinical trial study was conducted on 60 neonates sel...
متن کاملEffects of Negative Middle Ear Pressure on Wideband Acoustic Immittance in Normal-Hearing Adults.
OBJECTIVES Wideband acoustic immittance (WAI) measurements are capable of quantifying middle ear performance over a wide range of frequencies relevant to human hearing. Static pressure in the middle ear cavity affects sound transmission to the cochlea, but few datasets exist to quantify the relationship between middle ear transmission and the static pressure. In this study, WAI measurements of ...
متن کاملEmergence of physiological rhythmicity in term and preterm neonates in a neonatal intensive care unit
BACKGROUND Biological rhythmicity, particularly circadian rhythmicity, is considered to be a key mechanism in the maintenance of physiological function. Very little is known, however, about biological rhythmicity pattern in preterm and term neonates in neonatal intensive care units (NICU). In this study, we investigated whether term and preterm neonates admitted to NICU exhibit biological rhyth...
متن کاملNeurosonogram in Critically Ill Neonates in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
Aim: Neonates born prematurely and sick full-term neonates are at risk of brain injury. Although advances in neonatal intensive care have greatly improved the survival and outcome of these vulnerable patients, brain injury remains of major concern. Early diagnosis is important for prognostication, optimal treatment, and predicting the neurological outcome. Objective: This study was done to desc...
