Hypothermia and neonatal morbimortality in very low birth weight preterm infants
Cordeiro,Rafaelle Cristine Oliveira; Ferreira,Daniela Marques de Lima Mota; Reis,Heloísio dos; Azevedo,Vivian Mara Gonçalves de OliveiraABSTRACT Objective: To assess the prevalence of hypothermia in the delivery room, at admission, and 2 to 3 hours after admission in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), factors associated and possible relationship with morbidity and mortality in preterm infants with very low birth weight (VLBW). Methods: Cross-sectional study with data collection based on a retrospective review of medical records and includ...
Invasive mechanical ventilation and biomarkers as predictors of bronchopulmonar...
Nascimento,Camila Piqui; Maia,Larissa Prado; Alves,Patrícia Terra; Paula,Aline Teodoro de; Cunha Junior,Jair Pereira; Abdallah,Vânia Olivetti SteffenAbstract Objectives To evaluate the impact of invasive mechanical ventilation associated with two serum inflammatory cytokines and clinical indicators, on the second day of life, as predictors of bronchopulmonary dysplasia in very low birth weight preterm infants. It was hypothesized that the use of invasive mechanical ventilation in the first hours of life is associated with biomarkers that may predict the cha...
Prescribing errors in a Brazilian neonatal intensive care unit
Machado,Ana Paula Cezar; Tomich,Catharina Somerlate Franco; Osme,Simone Franco; Ferreira,Daniela Marques de Lima Mota; Mendonça,Maria Angélica OliveiraAbstract Pediatric patients, especially those admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (ICU), are highly vulnerable to medication errors. This study aimed to measure the prescription error rate in a university hospital neonatal ICU and to identify susceptible patients, types of errors, and the medicines involved. The variables related to medicines prescribed were compared to the Neofax prescription protocol...
Late onset sepsis in newborn babies: epidemiology and effect of a bundle to pre...
Resende,Daiane Silva; Peppe,Anna Laura Gil; Reis,Heloisio dos; Abdallah,Vânia Olivetti Steffen; Ribas,Rosineide Marques; Gontijo Filho,Paulo PintoAim:We assessed late onset sepsis (LOS) rates of neonates in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) before and after implementing an evidence-based bundle to prevent these infections in a country with poor resources.Methods:We evaluate trends of LOS between October 2010 and August 2012 in a large tertiary hospital in Brazil. We designed a protocol based of CDC guidelines for insertion of maintenance of central v...
Nosocomial infections in a neonatal intensive care unit during 16 years: 1997-2012
Urzedo,Jane Eire; Levenhagen,Maria Margarida Morena Domingos; Pedroso,Reginaldo Santos; Abdallah,Vânia Olivetti Steffen; Sabino,Sebastiana SilvaIntroduction Surveillance of nosocomial infections (NIs) is an essential part of quality patient care; however, there are few reports of National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) surveillance in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) and none in developing countries. The purpose of this study was to report the incidence of NIs, causative organisms, and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns in a large cohort of n...
Genotypic study documents divergence in the pathogenesis of bloodstream infecti...
Brito,Cristiane Silveira; Ribas,Rosineide Marques; Resende,Daiane Silva; Brito,Denise Von Dolinger de; Abdallah,Vânia Olivetti SteffenOBJECTIVE: To investigate the pathogenesis of bloodstream infection by Staphylococcus epidermidis, using the molecular epidemiology, in high-risk neonates. METHODS: We conducted a prospective study of a cohort of neonates with bloodstream infection using central venous catheters for more than 24 h. "National Healthcare Safety Network" surveillance was conducted. Genotyping was performed by DNA fingerprinting an...

Reduction of catheter-associated bloodstream infections through procedures in n...
Resende,Daiane Silva; Ó,Jacqueline Moreira do; Brito,Denise von Dolinger de; Abdallah,Vânia Olivetti Steffen; Gontijo Filho,Paulo PintoINTRODUCTION: Catheter-associated bloodstream infection (CA-BSI) is the most common nosocomial infection in neonatal intensive care units. There is evidence that care bundles to reduce CA-BSI are effective in the adult literature. The aim of this study was to reduce CA-BSI in a Brazilian neonatal intensive care unit by means of a care bundle including few strategies or procedures of prevention and control of th...
Late onset sepsis and intestinal bacterial colonization in very low birth weigh...
Fernandes,Priscila Castro Cordeiro; Dolinger,Elias Jose Oliveira von; Abdallah,Vânia Olivetti Steffen; Resende,Daiane Silva; Gontijo Filho,Paulo PintoINTRODUCTION: The purpose of this study was to establish the late onset sepsis (LOS) rate of our service, characterize the intestinal microbiota and evaluate a possible association between gut flora and sepsis in surgical infants who were receiving parenteral nutrition (PN). METHODS: Surveillance cultures of the gut were taken at the start of PN and thereafter once a week. Specimens for blood culture were colle...
