BackgroundBurkholderia cepacia strains have been known to possess the capability to cause serious infections especially in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), and their multi-drug resistances become a severe threat in hospital settings. The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the B. cepacia complex infections in the NICU in Nagano Children...

Philips Healthcare wants to enter the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) market with Ambient Experience (AE). This requires a well-thought out business plan that demonstrates why it is interesting for Philips to enter the NICU market with AE. There are different methods to determine why Philips should (not) enter the NICU market with AE. Design re...

In this work, we propose a detection method that exploits not only the instantaneous values, but also the intrinsic dynamics of the RR series, for the detection of apnea-bradycardia episodes in preterm infants. A hidden semi-Markov model is proposed to represent and characterize the temporal evolution of observed RR series and different pre-process...

Background: The etiology of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in very-low-birth-weight (VLBW) infants is multifactorial and is associated with low gestational age (GA) and severity of neonatal respiratory disease. The role of admission hypothermia (AHT) in the pathogenesis of IVH in VLBW infants has not yet been elucidated. We searched risk factors...

Infants admitted to neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) have a higher incidence of perinatal complications and delayed maturational processes. Parameters of the auditory brainstem response (ABR) were analyzed to study the prevalence of delayed auditory maturation or neural pathology. The prevalence of prolonged I–V interval as a measure of delaye...

PURPOSE: Death at the beginning of life is tragic but not uncommon in neonatal intensive care units. In Portugal, few studies have examined the circumstances surrounding the final moments of neonates. We evaluated the care given to neonates and their families in terminal situations and the changes that had occurred one decade later. DESIGN AND METH...

L’éclairage est un élément important de l’environnement dans lequel le nouveau-né prématuré poursuit son développement. Bien que différents chercheurs se soient intéressés à ce domaine de recherche, la divergence des résultats scientifiques et des recommandations limite la généralisation des résultats de ces études pour guider la pratique clinique ...

Objective: To assess current ventilation practices in newborn infants. Study design: We conducted a 2-point cross-sectional study in 173 European neonatal intensive care units, including 535 infants (mean gestational age 28 wks and birth weight 1024 g). Patient characteristics, ventilator settings and measurements were collected bedside from endotr...
