Background The majority of newborn infants successfully make the transition from fetal to neonatal life without any help. However, an estimated 10% of newborns need help to establish effective ventilation, which remains the most critical step of neonatal resuscitation. Fortunately, the need for
The purpose of this study is to combine molecular and behavioral methods in an experimental conceptualization approach to map the effects of trigeminal (PULSED orocutaneous) somatosensory stimulation on salivary gene expression in the context of the acquisition of an exquisitely complex oromotor
Preeclampsia is a multiorgan, heterogeneous disorder of pregnancy associated with significant maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality.
The incidence of preeclampsia is about 5% to 10% of all pregnancies, with higher rates reported in first pregnancies, twin pregnancies, and in women who have
This is a prospective, observational study that will use information from the medical records of mothers and their newborns. This study seeks to determine the rate of Composite Neonatal Morbidity for very preterm babies delivered secondary to preterm labor (PTL) vs. prelabor rupture of membranes
Due to limited resources and numbers of incubators, hospitals in developing countries remove infants from incubators at lower weights than in developed countries, putting infants at increased risk for hypothermia. This study will compare the incidence of hypothermia during the 72 hours after
Incubators in the developing world often lack humidifiers. The resting dry heat increases evaporative heat loss, the most prominent form of heat loss in premature infants due to their increased body surface area and immature stratum corneum. By potentially increasing humidity around the infants and
Prevention
After consent, infants with estimated gestational age between 26-36.6 weeks or with expected birth weight 1000-2500 grams will be randomized to resuscitation per standard protocol or to resuscitation per standard protocol and plastic bag. The intervention group will be placed into a
