Article Synopsis
- - This study aimed to assess the incidence and risk factors of medical device-related pressure injuries (MDRPIs) in newborns in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), observing 116 infants over a year.
- - Results showed a 35.3% incidence of MDRPIs, with significant contributions from NIRS probes (38.1%) and respiratory devices (33.5%), predominantly affecting areas like the forehead and limbs.
- - The findings highlighted gestational age as a key risk factor for developing MDRPIs, emphasizing the need for NICU nurses to implement preventive strategies based on these risks.
Background: The umbilical cord blood contains a high concentration of stem cells. There is not any published study evaluating the amount of stem cells that have the potential to be transferred to the infant through placental transfusion methods as delayed cord clamping (DCC) and umbilical cord milking (UCM). The aim of this study is to measure the concentrations of endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) and CD34+ hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) in the placental residual blood volume (PRBV), and evaluate the delivery room adaptation and cerebral oxygenation of these infants.
