Cross-transmission of Acinetobacter junii carrying blaOXA-58 in a neonatal ICU.

Background: Nasal colonization of two preterm infants in our neonatal ICU by Acinetobacter junii carrying the blaOXA-58 carbapenem resistance gene was demonstrated.

Objectives: To study whether the two isolates were identical and to investigate the hypotheses of cross-transmission.

Methods: Antibiotic susceptibility tests of the two isolates were performed by standard diffusion and the MICs of carbapenems determined by the MIC-gradient strip method.

An Analgesic Technique for Orogastric Tube Insertion in Newborns: DOLATSONG, a Randomized Multicentric Controlled Trial.

Background: Gastric tube insertion is necessary to support early enteral feeding of newborns during their neonatal intensive care stay. This frequent and invasive procedure is known to be painful. Very few analgesic techniques (sweet solutions, sucking, swaddling, and skin-to-skin contact) are available to reduce the pain caused by orogastric tube insertion procedure.

Characteristics of prescription in 29 Level 3 Neonatal Wards over a 2-year period (2017-2018). An inventory for future research.

Objectives: The primary objective of this study is to determine the current level of patient medication exposure in Level 3 Neonatal Wards (L3NW). The secondary objective is to evaluate in the first month of life the rate of medication prescription not cited in the Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC). A database containing all the medication prescriptions is collected as part of a prescription benchmarking program in the L3NW.

[Guidelines for multivitamin administration in fortified human milk prepared for preterm infants].

Background: To reach nutritional standards, human milk has to have 2g/dL of protein. In 2013, Lafeber stated that when human milk is fortified up to 2g/dL, it may increase its osmolality up to 500 mOsm/kg. He also warned that care must be taken when adding a drug or vitamins to human milk.
