Tympanometry in Neonates- A Comparative Study-Juniper Publishers

Image
Juniper Publishers - Journal of Pediatrics Abstract Objective: Impairment to hearing during childhood may lead to delay in the speech and language skills, making the communication process more difficult. Early identification and rehabilitation can benefit the children. It is necessary to test the hearing using accurate test procedures. Thus, aim of the study was to compare the use of probe tones (226Hz and 1000Hz probe tone) in tympanometry while testing the neonates for hearing before getting discharged from hospital setup. Method: An inclusion - exclusion criteria was applied in selection of 60 neonates (1-17days). Hearing screening with comparison of 226Hz and 1000Hz probe tone in tympanometry was carried out using a comparative study design. Pressure ranging from + 200 to -400 daPa and a pressure change rate of 600/200 daPa per second was used for testing. Intensity of probe tone was adjusted at 85 dB SPL. Comparison was made for type of tympanogram, ear ca...

Outcome of 'CDC Kerala' Early Stimulation Model on Neurodevelopment of Late Preterm Infants-Juniper Publishers

Image
Juniper Publishers - Journal of Pediatrics Abstract There is increasing evidence that late preterm babies (Gestational Age 34-0/7wks to 36-0/6 wks) are at increased risk of short term developmental morbidities as compared to term counterparts. Cochrane review had shown that early intervention programs for late preterm infants have a positive influence on motor and cognitive development on short-medium term. Early intervention programs like NIDCAP (Newborn Individualized Developmental Care & Assessment Program), IHDA (Infant Health & Development Program) are best evaluated. Parent based studies have shown positive influence on neurodevelopment outcome. Present study assesses the outcome of parent based early stimulation model on neurodevelopment of late preterm infants by corrected age of 12months. Keywords: Late preterm babies; Neurodevelopment outcome; Early stimulation; Parent based intervention; Developmental screening tools; Developmental assessme...

Use of an Arterial Cannula in Intubated Children Secondary to Bronchiolitis is Associated with Multiple Blood Gas Sampling and Prolonged Ventilation-Juniper publishers

Image
Juniper Publishers - Journal of Pediatrics Abstract Background: Bronchiolitis is a common cause of respiratory failure in children. Respiratory failure, in the PICU, is often managed with the utilization of arterial cannulas and frequent arterial blood gas sampling. Despite the common use of arterial blood sampling, it is unclear if these tests improve outcomes. Objective: To evaluate the frequency of blood draws for blood gas sampling and the duration of mechanical ventilation in children with respiratory failure with bronchiolitis in whom arterial cannel as were placed after initiation of mechanical ventilation.Setting: Children were recruited from a tertiary care children’s hospital. Design: Retrospective cohort study. Setting: TPICU at a tertiary care children’s hospital. Patients: 109 children between 0 to 2 years with a diagnosis of bronchiolitis requiring mechanical ventilation. Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted on patients ages 0 to...
