ABSTRACT

Background: This study was conducted to assess the role of Partial Parenteral Nutrition (PPN) and a specially prepared 'mixed fluid formula' used as PPN in sick surgical neonates.Methods: This single institution based Randomised Control Trial was performed in Surgical NICU of a tertiary care Centre. Surgical neonates who required bowel rest for >3 days like Esophageal Atresia (22), Duodenal Atresia (38), Jejuno-Ileal Atresia (50), Necrotising Enterocolitis (29) and others (11), were chosen. As a CONTROL population half (75) neonates were allowed maintenance fluid only (Isolyte P) and rest (75) were given a combination of maintenance fluid (Isolyte P) and PPN (specially prepared mixed fluid). This mixed fluid each 100 ml was prepared with 65ml Isolyte P, 15 ml 25% Dextrose, 10 ml Normal Saline, 7 ml Astymin 3, 2 ml Multivitamin and 1 ml Injection KCl. Fluid was continued till enteral feeding was established.Results: Neonates according to their body weight were divided in three groups <1 kg (50), 1-2.5 kg (71) and >2.5 kg (29) and their post-operative outcome was assessed as Clinical Positive/Negative and Laboratory Positive/Negative. Results were separately assessed in 3 body weight groups under 'Control' and 'Study' which showed both Clinical and Biochemical improvement in 'Study group'.Conclusions: The composition of mixed fluid, its nutritional value, calorie supplementation, compatible osmolarity for peripheral venous administration and most importantly its easy and cost-effective preparation were assessed thoroughly and we recommend this 'mixed fluid' preparation as a very useful PPN for sick surgical neonates.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCCIÓN: el recién nacido quirúrgico es un paciente complejo, que necesita de equipos interdisciplinarios y centros altamente especializados para su atención médica. OBJETIVO: exponer los resultados obtenidos al ejecutar un grupo de acciones para mejorar los resultados del recién nacido quirúrgico con afecciones de mayor mortalidad, en el primer Centro Regional de Cirugía Neonatal del país. MÉTODOS: se realizó un estudio cuasi experimental, de los recién nacidos quirúrgicos de las provincias de Holguín y Santiago de Cuba, en el período comprendido entre el 1º de enero de 1999 y el 31 de diciembre de 2013. Para validar la regionalización se hizo una comparación de los resultados en las afecciones de mayor mortalidad.RESULTADOS: en el plano teórico se logró el concepto de regionalización. Se fundamentaron y elaboraron un conjunto de acciones para lograr mejores indicadores de supervivencia. En las 3 comparaciones se demostró su validez. En el período 2009-2013, a pesar de la atención de mayor número de casos complejos, se mantuvo el logro de la supervivencia (92 %). CONCLUSIONES: la regionalización de la cirugía neonatal ha tenido un efecto favorable en la supervivencia de los neonatos quirúrgicos en la región oriental de Cuba, y permitió la creación del primer centro regional del país.


INTRODUCTION: the surgical newborn is a complex patient who needs interdisciplinary teams and highly specialized centers for medical care. OBJECTIVE: to present the results of the implementation of a set of actions to improve the outcomes of the surgical newborn with high mortality conditions in the Regional Center of Neonatal Surgery. METHODS: quasi-experimental study of surgical newborns from Holguin and Santiago de Cuba provinces in the period of January 1st through December 31st, 2013. For validating the regionalization, the results were compared in the high mortality diseases. RESULTS: at the theoretical level, the concept of regionalization was devised. A set of actions were prepared and substantiated to achieve better survival rates. The three comparisons showed the validity of this concept. Despite the care to a higher number of complex cases in the 2009-2013 period, the survival rate was kept (92 %). CONCLUSIONS: regionalization of neonatal surgery has favorable effect on survival of surgical neonates in the Eastern region of Cuba and allowed the foundation of the first regional center in the country.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: en los últimos años la cirugía neonatal ha logrado grandes avances en la supervivencia y en la recuperación de la función de los órganos comprometidos, pero la infección posoperatoria es una de sus principales complicaciones. Objetivo: identificar los factores de riesgo de la infección en el neonato intervenido quirúrgicamente, en el Servicio de Neonatología, durante los años 2005-2012. Métodos: se realizó un estudio descriptivo en el Hospital Pediátrico Universitario William Soler. La población estuvo constituida por 136 neonatos intervenidos quirúrgicamente que se infectaron. Se analizaron: factores de riesgo de la infección y sexo, edad al ingreso, causa y tipo de cirugía, localización de la infección, agente infeccioso y condición al egreso. Resultados: la tasa de infección en el servicio para el periodo fue 26,4 x 100, la menor en 2007 10,0 x 100, y la mayor en 2010 37,9 x 100 (significativamente p= 0,000). En el 90,4 por ciento p(n= 123) la estadía hospitalaria superó los 7 días, y en el 69,9 por ciento(n= 95) el tiempo quirúrgico excedió las 2 horas. El 39 por ciento(n= 53) tuvo infección del sitio quirúrgico, el 19,1 por ciento se intervino por atresia esofágica (n= 26). En el 14,7 por ciento de los pacientes (n= 20) fue aislado el estafilococo coagulasa negativo, y en el 10,3 por ciento el estafilococo aureus (n= 14). El 7,4 por ciento de los recién nacidos falleció (n= 10). Conclusiones: la infección en el recién nacido se manifiesta de forma importante, fundamentalmente a nivel del sitio quirúrgico y por cirugía de atresia esofágica, con predominio de la estadía y tiempo quirúrgico prolongados, involucrados principalmente el estafilococo coagulasa negativo y estafilococo aureus


Introduction: in the last few years, neonatal surgery has made great advances in terms of survival rates and of recovery of the compromised organ's functions, but postoperative infection remains one of the main complications. Objective: to identify the risk factors of infection in the surgical neonate at the Neonatology Service in the period of 2005 to 2012. Methods: a descriptive study was conducted at William Soler university pediatric hospital. The population under research was made up of 136 neonates who had been operated on and had caught infection. The analyzed variables were risk factors for infection and sex, age on admission to the hospital, cause and type of surgery, location of infection, infective agent and patient's condition on discharge. Results: the infection rate at the service for this period was 24.6 x 100, being 10 x 100 the lowest in 2007 and 37.9 x 100 the highest in 2010 (significant p= 0.000). The length of stay at hospital in 90.4 percent of cases (n= 123) exceeded 7 days and the surgical time in 69.9 percent of the group (n= 95) was over 2 hours. Surgical site infection occurred in 39 percent(n= 53) of patients, 19.1 percent(n= 26) was operated on from esophagic atresia; negative coagulase staphylococcus was isolated in 14.7 percent of children (n= 20) whereas staphylococcus aureus was found in 10.3 percent (n= 14). In the study group, 7.4 percent of neonates died (n= 10). Conclusions: infection in the newborn significantly occurs in the surgical site and due to esophagic atresia surgery; long length of stay at hospital and surgical time prevail and the negative coagulase and the aureus staphylococci are mainly involved
