Article Synopsis
- Lung ultrasound (LUS) is becoming an important tool in neonatal intensive care for diagnosing respiratory issues and predicting outcomes in newborns.
- A study was conducted on 65 neonates to explore the relationship between LUS scores and various types of respiratory support; findings showed higher LUS scores corresponded with increased levels of respiratory support.
- The results indicated significant differences in LUS scores among different clinical outcomes (like recovery and extubation failure), suggesting that LUS can be useful in predicting the prognosis for neonates with respiratory distress.
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.
