The purpose of this study was to determine the nutritional status of preterm neonates when discharged from the hospital. A descriptive study was reviewed from the register of preterm neonate after hospitalization in neonatal ward Sanglah Hospital Denpasar. The number of total samples in this study was 190 patients. Most of the preterm neonates in this study were low birth weight (59.47%). At the beginning of the hospitalization, there were 83.86% preterm neonates with good nutritional status, decreased to 54.73% at discharge from the hospital. The group of neonates that had the highest number of decreases in the good nutritional status at discharge was found in 28-32 weeks gestational age. Most of the samples used breast milk for enteral feeding (68,42%). In preterm neonates with sepsis, only 42.52% neonates discharge with good nutritional status. Low birth weight preterm neonates with kangaroo method care were found increased weight gain in 78.57% neonates. The nutritional status of preterm neonates following hospitalization at Sanglah hospital is still not good. The preterm neonates with good nutritional status were decreased at discharge from the hospital.

AbstractThe authors describe successful balloon angioplasty of aortic coarctation in a preterm neonate weighing 670 grams. The intervention was performed in an open incubator to ensure stable temperature comfort and to minimise the risk of hypothermia during the procedure of obtaining surgical vessel access, performing balloon angioplasty, and closure of the wound.

SURVIVAL OF PREMATURE AND LOW birth weight (LBW) neonates has increased in the past decade, and it continues to improve with recent advances in neonatal care. The use of antenatal corticosteroids and surfactant has played a major role in the improved survival of these LBW infants. Stevenson and colleagues documented survival-to-discharge rates of 49 percent for infants weighing 501–750 gm at birth, 85 percent for those 751–1,000 gm, 93 percent for those 1,001–1,250 gm, and 96 percent for those 1,251–1500 gm. With increasing survival rates, developmental outcome remains a concern, particularly in the lowest birth weight groups. Approximately 32 percent of very low birth weight (VLBW) infants (defined as weighing 501–1,500 gm) show evidence of intracrenial hemorrhage.

ABSTRACTHypotension is common in low birth weight neonates and less common in term newborns and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Determining an adequate blood pressure in neonates remains challenging for the neonatal nurse because of the lack of agreed-upon norms. Values for determining norms for blood pressure at varying gestational and postnatal ages are based on empirical data. Understanding cardiovascular pathophysiology, potential causes of hypotension, and assessment of adequate perfusion in the neonatal population is important and can assist the neonatal nurse in the evaluation of effective blood pressure. This article reviews cardiovascular pathophysiology as it relates to blood pressure and discusses potential causes of hypotension in the term and preterm neonate. Variation in management of hypotension across centers is discussed. Underlying causes and pathophysiology of hypotension in the neonate are described.

Delayed Onset

Between 1969 and 1978 we treated 22 low birth weight infants for delayed onset posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus. All developed clinical signs of hydrocephalus after 2 weeks of age. The diagnosis was determined in 12 infants before August 1974, and they were treated by surgical placement of a shunt. In the ten infants born after September 1974, an attempt was first made to control the hydrocephalus with repeated lumbar puncture and diuretics prior to placing a shunt. In seven of the ten the hydrocephalus was successfully arrested by medical therapy alone. Follow-up assessments at 1 to 8 years of age were done on 18 infants. Two of the 12 treated by permanent shunts and three of six treated medically had an IQ score of 85 or greater. These results indicate a poor long-term outlook for the low birth weight infant who develops clinically overt hydrocephalus after intracranial bleeding.
