Effect of HHFNC therapy on organ oxygenation and brain metabolism in neonates receiving exchange transfusion.

Background: Exchange transfusion therapy is a complex and invasive procedure with a high risk coefficient. This method involves replacing the entire blood of a child with fresh blood with double circulating blood volume in a short period, typically in 1-2 h. This procedure can cause the body's internal environment to be unstable, which can put newborns under a lot of stress.

The effect of developmental care on the length of hospital stay and family centered care practice for very low birth weight infants in neonatal intensive care units: A cluster randomized controlled trial.

Background: Despite previous studies suggesting that developmental care can provide benign stimulation to promote neural development of newborns, more evidence is needed regarding the other clinical benefits of developmental care.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of implementing developmental care on the length of hospital stay, the improvement of care practice in neonatal intensive care units, as well as the short-term outcome of very low birth weight infants.

Design: Cluster-randomized controlled trial.

Effects of routine procedures on salivary cortisol in mechanically ventilated neonates.

Even though the stress secondary to invasive procedures has been investigated, less attention has been paid to the stimulation or pain caused by routine procedures on neonates. The changes in salivary cortisol concentration in mechanically ventilated NICU patients during routine procedures were monitored to provide reference and guidance for pain management. 80 mechanically ventilated neonates in the hospital from Sep 2021 to Mar 2022 were selected.
