Objectives: To compare the difference in efficacy of closed tracheal suction system (CTSS) to open tracheal suction system (OTSS) in reducing incidence of ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP). Also to evaluate their efficacy in stabilizing cardio-respiratory parameters, reducing mortality and duration of intubation.
Methods: This study was a single centre, parallel group, open label, randomized controlled study with an equal allocation (1:1) in pediatric patients requiring mechanical ventilation.
Article Synopsis
- Kangaroo mother care (KMC) is a recommended practice for preterm babies that helps regulate cerebral blood flow (CBF), which is essential for preventing brain injuries linked to conditions like intraventricular hemorrhage.* -
- In a study of preterm neonates (30-34 weeks), researchers measured CBF before and after the initiation of KMC, finding significant improvements in certain CBF indicators like Pulsatility Index (PI) and Resistive Index (RI) shortly after KMC sessions.* -
- Results suggest that KMC enhances CBF stability in preterm infants, indicating it may be beneficial for their neurodevelopment and overall health.*
Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted newborn care and breastfeeding practices across most healthcare facilities. We undertook this study to explore the barriers and enablers for newborn care and breastfeeding practices in hospitals in Delhi, India for recently delivered mother (RDM)-newborn dyads during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic (2020) and inductively design a "pathway of impaction" for informing mitigatory initiatives during the current and future pandemics, at least in the initial months.
Materials And Methods: We used an exploratory descriptive design (qualitative research method) and collected information from seven leading public health facilities in Delhi, India.
