Together TO-Care: A Novel Tool for Measuring Caregiver Involvement and Parental Relational Engagement
Background: Preterm infants and their families face a challenging experience during their stay in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Family-centered care emphasizes the importance of welcoming parents, involving them in their baby's daily care, and supporting the development of parenting skills. NICU staff should support parents in understanding their baby's needs and in strengthening the parent-infant bond. Although many tools outline what…
The Experience of Caring for a Medically Complex Child in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit: A Qualitative Study of Parental Impact
Semi-structured interviews were administered to the parents of children with medical complexity admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of Modena between October 2016 and January 2024. The interview was developed based on three time points: birth, hospitalization, and discharge, focusing on parents' experiences, emotions, and communication with healthcare professionals. The interviews were analyzed using the template analysis. Results…
The Motor Optimality Score—Revised Improves Early Detection of Unilateral Cerebral Palsy in Infants with Perinatal Cerebral Stroke
Background: Neonatal cerebral stroke includes a range of focal and multifocal ischemic and hemorrhagic brain lesions, occurring in about one of 3000 live births. More than 50% of children with neonatal stroke develop adverse outcomes, mainly unilateral cerebral palsy. Asymmetries in segmental movements at three months have been proven to be an early sign of CP in infants with unilateral brain damage. Recognition of additional early signs could en…
Bacterial Meningitis in Infants Under 90 Days of Age: A Retrospective Single-Center Study
Preterm infants have higher rates of BM, brain lesions or case fatalities. Early diagnosis and prompt antibiotic treatment are critical to improve outcomes
Ultrasound-Guided Centrally Inserted Central Catheter (CICC) Placement in Newborns: A Safe Clinical Training Program in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
Our ongoing clinical training program was safe and effective. Conducting the program within the NICU contributes to the implementation of medical and nursing skills of the entire staff
Neurodevelopmental Outcome and Neuroimaging of Very Low Birth Weight Infants from an Italian Nicu Adopting the Family-Centered Care Model
We reported low rates of severe neurodevelopmental outcomes in VLBW infants born in an Italian NICU with FCC. Identifying the risk factors for severe outcomes can assist in tailoring and optimizing early interventions on an individual basis, both within the NICU and after discharge
Monitoring of Auditory Function in Newborns of Women Infected by Sars-CoV-2 during Pregnancy
Maternal SARS-CoV-2 infection, regardless of the trimester in which it was contracted, appears not to induce moderate or severe hearing loss in infants. It is important to clarify the possible effect of the virus on late-onset hearing loss and future research is needed
Early Skin-to-Skin Contact in Preterm Infants: Is It Safe? An Italian Experience
These findings highlighted the safety of early SSC in preterm infants and the possibility of performing it in an intensive care setting in the first weeks of life. In addition, these findings should reassure health care professionals offering this practice as a standard of care. SSC plays a key role in the care of preterm infants due to its short- and long-term positive benefits, and it deserves to be increasingly offered to infants and their par…
The Audiological Follow-Up of Children with Symptomatic Congenital Cytomegalovirus Infection: An Experience in Two Italian Centers
In the absence of universal cCMV screening, hearing screening at birth for cCMV remains a critical factor for early diagnosis. A significant percentage of children affected by cCMV with normal audiological evaluations at birth is easily lost to follow-up. Close collaboration between neonatologists, pediatricians, and audiological services is fundamental to ensure timely diagnosis and treatment of cCMV-related hearing loss
Sudden Unexpected Postnatal Collapse and Therapeutic Hypothermia: What’s Going On
Sudden unexpected postnatal collapse (SUPC) is a rare event, potentially associated with catastrophic consequences. Since the beginning of the 2000s, therapeutic hypothermia (TH) has been proposed as a treatment for asphyxiated neonates after SUPC. However, only a few studies have reported the outcome of SUPC after TH. The current study presents the long-term neurodevelopmental outcome of four cases of SUPC treated with TH in a single Italian cen…
Parents’ Experience in an Italian Nicu Implementing Nidcap-Based Care: A Qualitative Study
Background: The birth of a preterm infant and his/her immediate admittance to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) are sudden, unexpected, stressful and painful events for parents. In the last decade, in response to the increased awareness of the stressful experiences of parents, much attention has been paid to Family-Centered Care (FCC) and the implementation of the Newborn Individualized Developmental Care and Assessment Program (NIDCAP). Ac…
Maternal Singing but Not Speech Enhances Vagal Activity in Preterm Infants during Hospitalization: Preliminary Results
Maternal singing, but not speaking, enhances preterm infants' vagal activity in the short-term, thus improving the ANS stability. Future analyses will investigate the effect of enhanced vagal activity on short and long-term developmental outcomes of preterm infants in the NICU
Monitoring of Communication Precursors in Extremely Low Birth Weight (ELBW) Newborns by Video Analysis Method: Preliminary Results
Background: The survival of extremely low birth weight infants (ELBW) has increased worldwide. Even in the absence of major disabilities, ELBW infants show difficulty in simple language functions. It is relevant to assess early abilities, which are the base of early linguistic skills, in order to implement customized intervention programs in ELBW infants. Aims: To evaluate communication precursors of language development in ELBW infants at 12 and…
Can Fraction of Inspired Oxygen Predict Extubation Failure in Preterm Infants
High GA and PROM were associated with extubation success. Pre- and post-extubation FiO 2 values were not significantly predictive of extubation failure. Further studies should evaluate if overall assessment, including ventilatory parameters and clinical factors, can predict extubation success in neonates
