Pulse Oximetry in Very Low Birth Weight Infants

Clinics in Perinatology, 2014
Pulse oximetry has become ubiquitous and is used routinely during neonatal care. Emerging evidence highlights the continued uncertainty regarding definition of the optimal range to target pulse oximetry oxygen saturation levels in very low birth weight infants.

Diagnosis of DIC in Very Low Birth Weight Infants

Seminars in Thrombosis and Hemostasis, 1998
Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) occurs most frequently during the neonatal period. We have already established criteria for the early diagnosis of DIC in newborn infants, based on the analysis of clinical and laboratory findings in neonates with and without DIC.

Meconium Passage in Very‐Low‐Birth‐Weight Infants

Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, 1993
The timing of the first meconium stool has been considered a marker for proper gastrointestinal functioning in the term infant. There is limited information on the meconium passage patterns of very‐low‐birth‐weight infants of less than 32 weeks' gestation. It is unknown whether feeding practices influence the timing of the first stool in these infants.

Early intervention for very-low-birth-weight infants

Brain and Development, 1998
To assess the efficacy of early intervention (EI) for very-low-birth-weight (VLBW) infants, we evaluated 62 2 year old children who were enrolled in an EI program and 48 control subjects aged 2 years. We determined the subjects' developmental quotients (DQ) and obtained information about the parents' evaluation of the children from a questionnaire sent

An Epidemiologic Study of Very Low and Very Very Low Birth Weight Infants

Clinics in Perinatology, 1986
VVLBW infants constitute only 1 per cent of the total births, but account for 60 per cent of the NMR and 40 per cent of the IMR. While improved technology and refinements in care continue to improve survival for VVLBW infants, questions regarding the lower limits of viability must be considered.

Sodium balance in very-low-birth-weight infants

Critical Care Nurse, 1994
Maintaining sodium balance in the VLBW infant is not straightforward. Several predisposing factors appear in more than one imbalance constellation. In addition, the same patient circumstance can produce two types of imbalance. Understanding the physical properties of electrolytes and water enables critical care nurses to anticipate outcomes of specific

The Obstetric Management in Very‐Low‐Birth Weight Infants

Asia-Oceania Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, 1990
AbstractEighty‐three very‐low‐birth weight (VLBW) infants weighing between 500 g and 1,500 g were studied. The neonatal morbidity and mortality were 86.7% and 18.1%, respectively. Sixty‐six point seven percent (8/12) of the infants weighing under 1,000 g suffered from a periventricular‐intraventricular or intracranial hemorrhage (PVH/IVH) and their ...

Sodium balance in very low-birth-weight infants

The Journal of Pediatrics, 1978
Sodium balance was studied in 17 consecutively admitted neonates weighing less than 1,200 gm at birth. Infants whose gestation was less than or equal to 30 weeks were sicker and were in markedly negative sodium balance on day 3 (-9.25 mEq/kg day), despite a high sodium intake (7.22 mEq/kg/day).

Breast-feeding of very low birth weight infants

The Journal of Pediatrics, 1993
Twenty very low birth weight infants (birth weight < 1500 gm) were assessed to compare the clinical effects of breast and bottle feedings. The infants started breast-feeding during the same week that they started bottle feedings. Five breast-feedings and five bottle feedings for each infant were observed.

Mortality of very-low-birth-weight infants in Jamaica

Tropical Doctor, 2006
A 10-year retrospective descriptive study was conducted looking at the outcome of all neonates weighing less than 1500 g admitted to the University Hospital of the West Indies. Analysis of predictors of mortality using regression models revealed birth weight to be the only independent predictor of mortality.
