ABSTRACT

Objective:To study the high risk factors of hypothermia in premature infants with gestational age ≤34 weeks, and to analyze the incidence of hypothermia before and after the implementation of the quality improvement program of hypothermia in hospital and its influence on various systemic complications, aiming to improve the early identification of hypothermia and to reveal the important clinical significance of temperature management in time.Methods:Clinical data of preterm infants born in Maternal and Child Health Hospital of Hubei Province from May 2017 to December 2018, with gestational age ≤34 weeks, and admitted within 1 hour after birth were collected.According to the admission temperature, the infants were divided into normal temperature group (36.5-37.5 ℃), mild hypothermia group (36.0-36.4 ℃), moderate hypothermia gsroup (32.0-35.9 ℃), and severe hypothermia group (<32.0 ℃). The high risk factors of hypothermia in premature infants were analyzed.The incidence and degree of hypothermia and the effects on the systemic complications before and after the implementation of the hypothermia quality improvement program were compared.Results:A total of 306 premature infants were enrolled in the study, including 63(20.6%)cases in the normal temperature group, 115(37.6%) cases in the mild hypothermia group, and 128(41.8%) cases in the moderate hypothermia group, without severe hypothermia.Infants with birth asphyxia were at higher risk for hypothermia( OR=0.195, 95% CI 0.046-0.833, P=0.027); the lower the Apgar score at 1 min( r=0.123, P=0.032)and 5 min after birth( r=0.136, P=0.017), the higher the risk of admission hypothermia.After the quality improvement project, the incidence of admission hypothermia decreased from 82.3% to 73.8%( χ2=32.67, P<0.001), and the use of pulmonary surfactant in infants with respiratory distress syndrome was significantly reduced(70.0% vs. 32.0%, χ2=40.11, P<0.001), and the incidence of hypotension within 72 hours after birth decreased(11.8% vs. 4.9%, χ2=3.87, P<0.049). Conclusion:Birth asphyxia is a risk factor for admission hypothermia in premature infants, and Apgar score is associated with admission hypothermia in premature infants.Temperature management of preterm infants can significantly reduce the incidence of hypothermia and hypotension, and reduce the use of pulmonary surfactant in respiratory distress syndrome infants.

ABSTRACT

Neonates are undergoing the transition period from fetal circulation to adult circulation, and the hemodynamic changes are complex.For premature infants(especially very low birth weight infants and extremely low birth weight infants), the cardiovascular systems are immature.Therefore, they are prone to hypotension at early postnatal stage.Hypotension may lead to multiple organ perfusion insufficience, cerebral lesion, and even death.However, it is not always accompanied by hypoperfusion.Before treatment, clinicians should evaluate the hemodynamics comprehensively.At present, there is no consensus on the definition and intervention threshold about hypotension in premature infants.This review summarizes the definitions and hemodynamic monitoring methods of hypotension in premature infants at early postnatal stage to provide references for diagnosis and treatments.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the incidence and risk factors of neonatal asphyxia in Hubei Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture. Methods Live born infants, including those diagnosed with neonatal asphyxia, were recruited from 16 different hospitals in Hubei Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture from January to December of 2016. The 16 hospitals included four grade A tertiary hospitals (three general hospitals and one traditional Chinese medicine hospital) and 12 grade A secondary hospitals (eight general hospitals, one maternal and child health hospital and three traditional Chinese medicine hospitals). A retrospective investigation was conducted using questionnaire to analyze the basic information, perinatal risk factors and prognosis of those infants. Chi-square test was used for statistical analysis. Results Among 22 294 recruited live born infants, 733 (3.29%) were diagnosed with neonatal asphyxia on discharge, including 627 (85.54%) mild cases and 106 (14.46%) severe cases. And neonatal asphyxia resulted in deaths of 27 cases (3.68%). The risk factors for neonatal asphyxia included multiple pregnancy, pregnancy conceived with assisted reproductive technology, premature infant, low birth weight infant, fetal malposition, congenital malformation, male infant, born during transfer, mother of Tujia nationality, low educational level (primary school or lower), living in rural area, the number of antenatal visits ≤3, history of early threatened abortion, anemia in pregnancy, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, chorioamnionitis, abnormal pregnancy history and abnormality of umbilical cord, amniotic fluid or placenta. Conclusions The incidence of neonatal asphyxia in Enshi area is obviously higher than the national average. The main risk factors for neonatal asphyxia in this area are related to maternal background and the living condition of the mother during pregnancy, delivery as well as the newborn at birth.

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To investigate the incidence and pathogen distribution of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) among preterm infants admitted to level Ⅲ neonatal intensive care units (NICU) in China.@*Method@#A prospective study was conducted in 25 level Ⅲ NICU, enrolling all preterm infants <34 weeks gestational age admitted to the participating NICU within the first 7 days of life from May 2015 to April 2016. Chi-square test, t test and Mann-Whitney U test were used for statistical analysis.@*Result@#A total of 7 918 patients were enrolled, within whom 4 623(58.4%) were males. The birth weight was (1 639±415) g and the gestational age was (31.4±2.0) weeks; 4 654(58.8%) infants required non-invasive mechanical ventilation and 2 154(27.2%) required intubation. Of all the mechanically ventilated patients, VAP occurred in 95 patients. The overall VAP rate was 7.0 episodes per 1 000 ventilator days, varying from 0 to 34.4 episodes per 1 000 ventilator days in different centers. The incidence of VAP was 9.6 and 6.0 per 1 000 ventilator days in children′s hospitals and maternity-infant hospitals respectively, without significant differences (t=1.002, P=0.327). Gram-negative bacilli (76 strains, 91.6%) were the primary VAP microorganisms, mainly Acinetobacter baumannii (24 strains, 28.9%), Klebsiella pneumonia (23 strains, 27.7%), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (10 strains, 12.0%).@*Conclusion@#The incidence of VAP in China is similar to that in developed counties, with substantial variability in different NICU settings. More efforts are needed to monitor and evaluate the preventable factors associated with VAP and conduct interventions that could effectively reduce the occurrence of VAP.

ABSTRACT

Objective To identify risk factors associated with repeat use of pulmonary surfactant ( PS) in the treatment of respiratory distress syndrome ( RDS ) in the term and near-term neonate. Methods There were 130term and near-term new borns with RDS who were treated with pulmonary surfactant were enrolled. These infants were categorized into two groups: single-dose group (85 cases) and repeat-dose group (45 cases). The differences in basic information were compared between the two groups, and logistic regression analysis was used to identify the risk factors for repeat use of pulmonary surfactant.Results TherepeatutilizationrateofPSwas34.6℅.The incidence of asphyxia,maternal gestational hypertension, X-ray RDS grade 3-4, the age of first dose PS,respiratory support time in the repeat-dose group was significantly higher than in the single-dose group (P<0. 05). PaO2/FiO2 and the cure rate in the repeat-dose group were significantly lower than in single-dose group ( P<0. 05 ) . The incidence of sepsis, pulmonary hemorrhage, shock and patent ductus arteriosus ( PDA) in the repeat-dose group was significantly higher than in the single-dose group ( P<0. 05). Further logistic regression analysis showed that birth asphyxia ( OR=5. 674 , 95℅CI 1. 378 -23. 354 , the age of first dose of PS (OR=1.092, 95℅CI 1.002 -1.191)and PDA(OR =23.499, 95℅CI 2.348 -235.152)were the independent risk factors for repeat use of pulmonary surfactant.Conclusions Birth asphyxia,the age of first dose PS and PDA are the risk factors for repeat use of pulmonary surfactant in the treatment of RDS in the term and near -term neonate.

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the association between neonatal asphyxia and blood glucose disorder. Methods A total of 134 cases of neonatal asphyxia born in the Maternal and Child Hospital of Hubei Province between January 2013 and January 2015 were included in this study. Blood glucose levels were determined within 30 min after birth and before glucose infusion. The infants were divided into the mild asphyxia group (Apgar score 4 to 7) and severe asphyxia group (Apgar score 0 to 3) according to the Apgar score at 5 min after birth. Statistical analyses were performed using the two-sample t-test and Chi-square test. Results The incidence of asphyxia was 3.2‰(134/41 875). Hypoglycemia was the main blood glucose disorder in the mild asphyxia group [12% (13/112)], and hyperglycemia was the main blood glucose disorder in the severe asphyxia group [32%(7/22)]. The average blood glucose level was higher in the severe asphyxia group than in the mild asphyxia group [(5.8±3.4) vs (5.0±2.3) mmol/L, t=21.979, P=0.001]. In the severe asphyxia group, the incidence of hypoglycemia was higher [18% (4/22) vs 12% (13/112), χ2=7.464, P=0.006] and the average blood glucose level was lower [(1.8±0.7) vs (2.1±0.4) mmol/L, t=5.247, P=0.042],and the incidence of hyperglycemia was also higher [32% (7/22) vs 9% (10/112), χ2=11.679, P=0.001] and the blood glucose level was higher [(11.6±3.8) vs (9.3±2.0) mmol/L, t=1.106, P=0.048]. Conclusion Neonatal asphyxia can lead to blood glucose disorders. The incidence and the severity of these disorders were higher in neonates with severe asphyxia.

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the relationship between the cytokine levels in the serum and cerebrospinal fluid and the brain injury in preterm infants. Methods From August of 2012 to August of 2013,51 preterm infants were included and 46 infants were survived. All of them were born at the Maternal and Child Hospital of Hubei Pro-vince,with GA≤32 weeks and high risk factors of intrauterine infection and suffering from early onset sepsis. Ac-cording to the screening findings of cerebral ultrasound and/or MRI,the infants were divided into normal group(n=28) and abnormal groups(n=18) with intracranial hemorrhage or white matter damage. The levels of interleukin(IL)-6,IL-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α( TNF-α) in the serum within 12 hours after birth and in cerebrospinal fluid within 72 hours after birth were investigated. The differences in cytokines between two groups were compared with t-test and Chi-square test,and high risk factors of brain injury were analyzed by Logistic regression models. Results The ab-normal group had higher incidence of clinical maternal chorioamnionitis[44. 44%(8/18 cases) vs 14. 29%(4/28 ca-ses),χ2=5.168,P=0.038] and higher white blood cell count[(11.51±9.03)×109/L vs(6.95±5.64)×109/L,t=-2. 107,P=0. 041]. In the abnormal group,the levels of serum IL-6 [(44. 83±16. 31) ng/L],and IL-6,IL-1βand TNF-αin cerebrospinal fluid [(51. 85±15. 65) ng/L,(11. 95±2. 58) ng/L and(193. 11±67. 25) ng/L] were higher than those in the normal group[(36.83±8.76) ng/L,(42.56±12.89) ng/L,(10.26±2.91) ng/L and(160.56± 29. 02) ng/L,respectively] with the statistical difference(t=-2. 687,-2. 250,0. 269,-2. 243,P=0. 010,0. 029,0. 044, 0. 030). Maternal chorioamnionitis,higher serum TNF-αand cerebrospinal fluid IL-6 were high risk factors for brain in-jury(P=0. 014,0. 031,0. 047). Conclusion Increased systemic and cerebrospinal fluid cytokine levels are possibly re-lated to the preterm brain injury when intrauterine infection occurred.

ABSTRACT

Objective To analyze the characteristics of newborns in occurrence of adverse outcomes that transferred from other hospitals during the past four years,in order to improve the province's perinatal survival quality and reduce mortality.Methods The clinical data of 255 cases in occurrence of adverse outcomes in transit during January 2008 to December 2011 were analyzed retrospectively.According chronologically 255 cases were divided into group A (124 cases,January 2008 to December 2009) and group B (131 cases,January 2010 to December 2011).We analyzed the basic data,perinatal factors and major diseases of the newborns,and compared the changes of related characteristics in different periods.Results Adverse outcomes in male patients were significantly higher than female patients (male:female 3.05:1,192:63) ; there were higher proportion of premature infants (73.3%,187/255) and cesarean section (49%,125/255).The major diseases were respiratory system diseases (71.4%,182/255),followed by circulatory system diseases (40.4%,103/255),and severe congenital abnormalities (26.3 %,67/255).Group B compared with group A:(1) the proportion of hospitalization time < 24 hours increased (73/131 vs 50/124,P < 0.05) ; (2) the proportion of more than two referrals increased (41 / 131 vs 23/124,P < 0.05) ; (3) the proportion of very low birth weight infants (including extremely low birth weight) increased significantly (75/131 vs 43/124,P < 0.05) ; (4) the proportion of respiratory system diseased (131 / 131 vs 124/124),asphyxia (9/131 vs 22/124) and hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (6/131 vs 16/124) decreased significantly (P < 0.05) ;(5) the proportion of circulation system diseased (60/131 vs 31 / 124) and congenital developmental abnormalities (51/131 vs 23/124) increased significantly (P < 0.05) ;(6) the application of mechanical ventilation (115/131 vs 88/124) and pulmonary surfactant (85/131 vs 52/124) increased significantly (P < 0.05) ;(7) the usage of blood products decreased significantly (39/131 vs 53/124,P < 0.05) ; (8) giving up treatment due to economic reasons reduced significantly (22/131 vs 37/124,P < 0.05).Conclusion For the grassroots medical institutions,the choice of transport time and referral hospital may affect the incidence of adverse outcomes; the high rate of cesarean section may increase the incidence of adverse outcomes; the treatment capacity of extremely low and very low birth weight infants may directly affect the incidence of adverse outcomes ; the respiratory system diseases greatly impact on adverse outcomes,but the accompanied circulatory system diseases impact on adverse outcomes increased in recent years.

ABSTRACT

ObjectiveTo investigate the common pathogenic bacteria and antimicrobial resistance status in neonatal ward to provide guidance for rational clinical medication. MethodsData of 2306 cases in neonatal ward from July 2008 to June 2010 whose body fluid were cultured with positive results of common bacteria were collected. The change of the bacteria and drug resistance was analyzed. Results Among 10 017 body fluid samples, 80 species consisted of 2306 strains of bacteria were found. Enterobacteria accounted for about 53.8% (1241/2306), Klebsiella pneumoniae subsp. pneumoniae (430/1241, 34.6%) and Escherichia coli (341/1241, 27.5%) were the most common ones,and among which 68.1%(293/430)strains of Klebsiella pneumoniaesubsp.pneumoniae and 59.5 % (203/341 ) strains of Escherichia coli were extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) producing strains, which were significantly lower than those[78.1% (118/151) and 82.6%(76/92) respectively]during 2003 to 2005 (U=-2.32 and -4.11, P<0.05 respectively).Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA)detectionrate was 8. 5%(23/272)in Staphylococcus, which was lower than that (17.7%, 15/85) in year 2004 to 2006 (U= -2.4, P<0. 05). Methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphulococcus (MRCNS) detection rate was 63.5%(157/247), which was higher than that (32.6%, 97/298) in year 2004 to 2006(U=7.54,P<0.05).The common pathogens of nosocomial infection were Klebsiella pneumoniae subsp.pneumoniae,Escherichia coli , Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ; while common pathogens of community infection were Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae subsp.pneumoniae and Escherichia coli. Multiple drug-resistant infections in hospital were significantly higher than those in community. Drug susceptibility results showed that the resistance of Staphylococcus haemolyticus,Acinetobacter baumannii and Klebsiella pneumoniae subsp.pneumoniae were especially severe.ConclusionsOpportunistic infections and drug resistant strains increased. The increasing of MRCNS and drug-resistant of Acinetobacter baumanniishouldbepaidmore attention.Comprehensive measures might reduce the production of ESBLs bacteria. The choice of antibiotics should be based on drug susceptibility test.

ABSTRACT

To evaluate the changes of 3', 5'-cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), thromboxane A2(TXA2) and prostacyclin (PGI2) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the asphyxiated newborn and explore their roles in hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD). Thirty-six full term newborns were divided into 3 groups, including 12 with moderate-severe hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE), 13 with mild HIE, 11 without HIE (control group). The levels of cAMP, TXB2 (TXA2 metabolite) and 6-keto-PGF1 alpha (PGI2 metabolite) in CSF and plasma were measured 36-72 h after birth by RIA, and the concentrations were expressed as nM/L (cAMP), ng/L(TXB2 and 6-keto-PGF1 alpha). The infants were followed-up at 6 and 12 month of age and Mental Development Index (MDI) and Psychomotor Development Index (PDI) were measured using Bayley Scales of Infant Development (BSID). The CSF cAMP level in moderate-severe HIE group was 8.60 +/- 2.40, significantly lower than that of the mild HIE group (14.83 +/- 2.84) and the control group (24.43 +/- 2.39) (for both P < 0.01). The levels of TXB2 and 6-keto-PGF1 alpha in CFS in the moderate-severe HIE group (206.06 +/- 29.74, 168.47 +/- 23.02, respectively) were significantly higher than in the mild HIE group (83.37 +/- 28.57, 131.42 +/- 16.57, respectively, P < 0.01) and the control group (41.77 +/- 21.58, 86.23 +/- 13.05, respectively, P < 0.01). The level changes of cAMP, TXB2 and 6-keto-PGF1 alpha in plasma in all groups were similar to those in CSF, but no significant difference was found between mild HIE group and the control group (P > 0.05). The follow-up results showed that MDI and PDI of the moderate-severe HIE group were the lowest (84.79 +/- 13.34, 83.50 +/- 13.28, respectively), followed by mild HIE group (102.19 +/- 7.02, 99.94 +/- 9.08, respectively), with the control group being the highest (116.63 +/- 12.08, 116.69 +/- 10.87, respectively). Univariate analysis showed some significant difference (the moderate-severe HIE group vs. the mild HIE group or the control group, P < 0.01; the mild HIE group vs. the control group P < 0.05). The results suggested that the concentration of cAMP, TXA2 and T/K ratio in CSF after neonatal asphyxia might be sensitive markers in evaluating the severity of brain damage in early stage and predicting the future outcome.
