  2. 6. Non-nutritive sucking in the neonate

    Author : Maria Hafström; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Numerical-Analysis-Computer-Assisted; Non-nutritive sucking. Sucking behaviour; Infant; Newborn; Premature; Development; Disease-Susceptibility; Follow-up; Meperidine;

    Abstract : Non-nutritive sucking (NNS) by the newborn infant is a fundamental behaviour and is one of the first coordinated muscular activities in the foetus. A new specially designed computer-based method for automatic analysis of the NNS pattern in neonates has been produced. READ MORE

  4. 7. Surviving birth : Studies of a simplified neonatal resuscitation protocol in a low-income context using a mixed-methods approach

    Author : Johan Wrammert; Mats Målqvist; Nalini Singhal; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cause of death; focus group; guideline adherence; infant; low-income population; low birth weight; Nepal; neonatal resuscitation; nurse midwives; neonatal mortality; newborn; perinatal mortality; preterm; quality improvement cycle; teamwork; postnatal; video recording;

    Abstract : United Nations has lately stated ambitious health targets for 2030 in the Sustainable Development Goal agenda, following the already achieved progress between 1990 and 2015 when the number of children dying before the age of five was reduced by more than half. However, the mortality reduction in the first month of life after birth has not kept the same pace. READ MORE

  5. 8. Initiation of ventilation, surfactant treatment, and lung function after preterm birth

    Author : Lars Björklund; Lund Pediatrik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Respiration; Artificial; Pediatrics; Pediatri; Respiratory Function Tests; Pulmonary Surfactants; Newborn; Respiratory Distress Syndrome; Infant; Premature; Animals;

    Abstract : The thesis investigates lung function and the effects of rescue surfactant treatment in mechanically ventilated preterm human infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), and the effects of ventilation at birth on the response to surfactant supplementation in preterm lambs. To assess lung function, the author recorded static pressure-volume (P-V) curves during passive deflation from total lung capacity (TLC) to ambient pressure and measured end-expiratory lung volume (FRC) during mechanical ventilation by tracer gas washout.

  7. 10. The crying infant

    Author : Birgitta Wikander; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Crying infant; mother-infant relationship; fathers experience ofdelivery; mothers stress; advice; diary; locus of control.;

    Abstract : The study is focused on the Child Health Centres’ (CHC:s) daily work of understanding families as well as giving advice to parents of excessively crying infants. Excessively crying infants were identified by means of a short questionnaire distributed to the mothers of newborn infants visiting the CHC. READ MORE
