Infant care

Criteria developed in the National Institute of Medicine Study (Gortmaker 1979) was used to establish the adequacy of prenatal care. In 67 Dercent of our 12 cases. Drenatal care durina nrea-nancy was inadequate. However, among mothers of preterm infants, care was inadequate in all cases. Thirty-three percent of all mothers received no prenatal care. ...

Sudden deterioration of respiratory function has been associated with initiation of aerosolized ribavirin use in infants. Carefully monitor respiratory function during treatment. If initiation of aerosolized ribavirin treatment appears to produce sudden deterioration of respiratory function, stop treatment and reinstitute only with extreme caution, continuous monitoring, and consideration of concomitant administration of bronchodilators (see Warnings).

The newly revised Chapter 13 addresses security issues in emergency departments, pediatric locations, infant care units, medication storage locations, cUnical labs, forensic patient treatments areas, and behavioral units. The chapter also addresses communications, data infrastructure, and security of medical/health records. Chapter 13 covers media relations, crowd control, employee practices, and security operations. Facilities must conduct a security vulnerability analysis and planning for the protection of people and resources beyond a disaster event. Security education should address customer relations, emergency procedures, use of force issues, importance of effective de-escalation of tense tactics, and restraint usage. The new code reqnires the development of policies, plans, and procedures to address hostage situations, bomb threats, workplace violence, disorderly conduct, and restraining order policies. 

There has been much effort in recent years to provide continuous chemical monitoring of critically ill patients or patients undergoing heart surgery. It has proved very difficult to fulfill the increased demands in such applications by any sensors. Some of the problems are sensor sterilization and calibration, effect of varying temperatures, sensor deterioration or cellular encapsulation due to continuous direct contact with blood, thrombogenicity of the sensor devices, small size, and patient safety. Noninvasive systems, e.g., transcutaneous oxygen and carbon dioxide sensors, are less affected and have had considerable success, particularly in infant care. O2 and CO2 can diffuse across the mildly heated skin to the sensors and the measured values correlate well with arterial samples. 

Concern about the effect of certain plasticizers on human health, particularly the carcinogenic and oestrogenic effects, has been expressed from some quarters and there has been extensive study and testing to establish the facts. The products particularly under scrutiny have been PVC compounds for medical products and baby- and infant-care products, especially those designed to be put in the mouth. DEHP, which is particularly suitable for medical products, has been most under examination. 

These brief accounts of infant care provided by episcopal schools such as the one that received Saint Alypios or the one at Naupaktos that took in the infant John and the scattered references to brephotro-pheia in Constantinople are extremely scarce as well as being spread over many centuries. There exists, however, additional evidence of institutional care for abandoned babies provided by the Christian Church. Just as in the case of older orphans, so too with regard to foundlings, monastic communities supplemented the assistance offered by the bishops. As early as the late fourth century evidence has survived that monks and nuns accepted abandoned babies. 

Nosocomial lower respiratory tract infections may occur in children hospitalized in any area of a hospital. However, the children at greatest risk for nosocomial pneumonia and tracheitis are those cared for in an intensive care setting these account for >50% of all nosocomial pneumonias (28). Nosocomial lower respiratory tract infection will develop in approximately 2% to 10% of children in a pediatric intensive care unit. Similar but slightly lower proportions apply in infants cared for in neonatal intensive care units.
