Management and investigation of neonatal encephalopathy: 2017 …
WEBThis review discusses an approach to determining the cause of neonatal encephalopathy, as well as current evidence on resuscitation and subsequent management of hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE). Encephalopathy in neonates can be due to varied aetiologies in addition to hypoxic-ischaemia. A combination of careful history, examination and the judicious use of investigations can help ...
Neonatal high-frequency oscillatory ventilation: where are we now?
WEBHigh-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) is an established mode of respiratory support in the neonatal intensive care unit. Large clinical trial data is based on first intention use in preterm infants with acute respiratory distress syndrome. Clinical practice has evolved from this narrow population. HFOV is most often reserved for term and preterm infants with severe, and often complex ...
Data collection in neonatal retrieval medicine: a platform for …
WEBThe capacity to provide intensive care for newborns became a reality in the 1970s.1 Subsequently, neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) were established in major perinatal centres or children’s hospitals as part of regionalised perinatal care. While in utero transfer guidelines were successful in ensuring most preterm babies were delivered in centres with NICU facilities, it became apparent ...
Viability and thresholds for treatment of extremely preterm infants ...
WEBBackground Decisions about treatments for extremely preterm infants (EPIs) born in the ‘grey zone’ of viability can be ethically complex. This 2020 survey aimed to determine views of UK neonatal staff about thresholds for treatment of EPIs given a recently revised national Framework for Practice from the British Association of Perinatal Medicine.

Causes and consequences of fetal acidosis - ADC Fetal & Neonatal …
WEBThe fetus depends on the mother for placental exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. This in turn relies on adequate maternal blood gas concentrations, uterine blood supply, placental transfer and fetal gas transport. Disruption of any of these can cause fetal hypoxia, which, despite compensatory mechanisms, may lead to acidosis. When severe and acute (lasting hours), but especially if ...
Parenteral lipid emulsions in the preterm infant: current issues and ...
WEBParenteral lipid emulsions are a necessary component of nutrition for extremely low gestational age newborns until adequate levels of enteral intake are established. Historically, Intralipid, a 100% soybean oil emulsion, has filled this role. Newer multicomponent lipid emulsions containing a mixture of other oils, including olive oil and fish oil, are now available as options, although the ...

Implementation of this Framework for Practice - ADC Fetal
WEBDefinitions. In the UK, a stillbirth is legally defined as the birth of a baby with no signs of life at, or after, 24 completed weeks of gestation.. For consistency, we have used the term ‘fetus’ to describe the baby before birth, and ‘baby’ after birth.Within the document, ‘parents’ refers to the mother and her partner. We have used the terms ‘active care (survival focused ...
