What Is Known And Objectives: Errors involving the delivery of IVFE containing soybean oil have known significant complications, including fat overload syndrome. However, little is known regarding the risks of fat overload syndrome with other types of lipid emulsions.
Case Summary: We describe a medication administration error that resulted in rapid fish oil-base lipid emulsion (Omegaven) infusion in a five-month-old infant with parenteral nutrition associated liver disease (PNALD).
Serotonin Toxicity Versus Withdrawal: Clonidine One Size Fits All?
J Pediatr Pharmacol Ther
June 2021
Article Synopsis
- Serotonin discontinuation syndrome (SDS) can affect infants exposed to certain antidepressants during pregnancy, leading to various symptoms at birth.* -
- The case study discusses a 38-week old infant who showed severe symptoms, including hypertonia and feeding problems, after being born to a mother treated with multiple psychotropic medications for depression.* -
- Clonidine was used effectively to manage the infant's symptoms, starting at low doses and increasing as needed, marking the first report of its application for managing serotonin toxicity and withdrawal in newborns.*
Objective: This study aimed to determine if prolonged antibiotic use at birth in neonates with a negative blood culture increases the total cost of hospital stay.
Study Design: This was a retrospective study performed at a 60-bed level IV neonatal intensive care unit. Neonates born <30 weeks of gestation or <1,500 g between 2016 and 2018 who received antibiotics were included.
