Design and Performance of Blanket Heat Shields for Neonates

ABSTRACT. Background: Several designs of plastic blanket heat shields are in use. This study was done to compare different designs for their efficiency in reducing heat loss. Methods: Four heat shield designs were tested by sequentially covering each of 14 infants (wt. 640–2030 g) cared for under radiant warmers. The power consumption of the radiant warmers was measured as a surrogate for. heat loss. All designs were tested for a total of 20 min on all infants. Results were calculated as percent change in power consumption from shield to shield. The most efficient design was further modified and evaluated in another group of 14 infants (wt. 700–1180 g). Results: The relative reductions in power consumption were: no shield (control) –0%, a plastic foil over the side rails: –17%, a single layer close to the infant but excluding the head: –34%, the same as double layer –37% and the most efficient one, a single layer covering the whole infant –42%. A modification of this design, tested in the second group of infants, reduced power consumption by 13% (95% CI –5.9/–19.7), ( p < 0.004) when compared to the single layer covering the whole infant. It was tucked under the connecting tubes to the ventilator. It also reduced the risk for displacement and allowed for the endotracheal tube to be suctioned without removing the blanket. Conclusion: Modifications of the design of heat shield blankets for infants resulted in significant increases in efficiency.

新生儿呼吸机选择的要素

根据新生儿和成人之间呼吸生理的不同，认为新生儿呼吸机与儿童、成人呼吸机无论从那方面来讲都有较大的区别，并从新生儿呼吸生理的特点出发，提出购买新生儿呼吸机时要注意的几个要素。     

Thermal acclimation of neonates to prolonged cool exposure as regards sleep stages

The thermal responses of neonates during a cool acclimation period were studied with regard to sleep stages. Sleep stages, body temperatures and metabolic rate (VO2) were studied for seven neonates nursed in incubators and exposed to a cool temperature (thermoneutrality minus 2 degrees C) for 75 h. Each recording session lasted 3 h in the morning: firstly under thermoneutral baseline conditions, then during the first and last 3-h periods of the cool acclimation and finally during the last 3 h of a 24-h recovery period. Sleep structure was modified during the initial hours of cool exposure: the percentage of active sleep increased (AS: +13%, P = 0.028) at the expense of quiet sleep (QS: -11%, P = 0.043). This alteration in sleep structure persisted at the end of the acclimation period. Metabolic heat production only increased in the later period of cool acclimation. Throughout the cool exposure, VO2 increased more (P = 0.040) in QS (+33%) than in AS (+20%) so that by the end of the cool period, VO2 levels were similar in both sleep stages. During cool acclimation, the maintenance of homeothermy is related not only to a change in sleep organization but also to modifications in the thermoregulatory processes in both sleep stages. Considering the importance of AS/QS patterns in the neurobehavioral development of neonates, the present results could have clinical implications for the thermal management of neonates.     

An improved technique for repeated gavage administration to rat neonates

ABSTRACT  The technique for gavage administration to rat nurslings was improved to allow determination of the direct effects of chemical substances in the nurslings. Rat neonates were treated with distilled water from postnatal day 1 through 20 using this technique. The viability of neonates during the administration period was comparable to that of untreated neonates. No adverse effects of this technique on the development of neonates were found, and no histological alterations of the esophagus or pharynx. Therefore, we conclude that use of our improved gavage administration method will contribute to ensuring successful neonatal development and thus allowing accurate assessment of the toxicological effects of test compounds on rat nurslings.     

T cell reactivity in neonates from an East and a West German city--results of the LISA study

BACKGROUND: Within an ongoing birth cohort study (LISA) the cytokine production of cord blood T cells was compared between neonates from Leipzig (East Germany) and Munich (West Germany). The aim of this study was to analyse regional differences and influencing factors of the immune status. METHODS: Cytokine production was measured in a randomly selected subgroup of 158 children from the LISA (Life style - Immune system - Allergy) cohort by intracellular cytokine staining. Information on family "atopy" history (FAH) and home characteristics was obtained from questionnaires. RESULTS: Reduced numbers of interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) producing T cells were found in association with biparental FAH and housing renovation during pregnancy. In addition, cytokine production was influenced by season. In Munich, the frequency of biparental FAH and of renovation measures during pregnancy was significantly higher as compared to Leipzig. Neonates from Munich showed significantly decreased amounts of IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha and elevated levels of interleukin-4 (IL-4) producing T cells. Differences in cytokine production between Munich and Leipzig were influenced by season (IL-4) and housing renovation (IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha). CONCLUSIONS: Since differences in the T cell cytokine production of neonates in Munich and Leipzig are independent from FAH our findings may provide evidence for the impact of environmental factors upon the fetal immune system.     

Immunogenicity of 20 μg of recombinant DNA hepatitis B vaccine in healthy neonates: A comparison of three different vaccination schemes

The immunogenicity of a full dose (20 μg) of recombinant DNA yeast-derived hepatitis B vaccine (Engerix-B) was assessed in healthy neonates in order to compare three candidate vaccination schemes. After randomization 162 newborns of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) negative mothers entered the study. Neonates received hepatitis B vaccine according to a fourdose vaccination scheme starting either at month 3 (scheme I: months 3,4,5, and 11) or at birth (scheme III: months 0,1,2, and 11). Another group of neonates received hepatitis B vaccine according to a three-dose scheme starting at birth (scheme II: months 0, 1, and 6). Serious adverse reactions were not observed; 2.5% of the vaccinated newborns suffered mild transient local symptoms. The vaccine was highly immunogenic irrespective of vaccination scheme; all infants developed anti-HBs levels ≥10 IU/L, 97% ≥100 IU/L. The immunogenicity of hepatitis B vaccine after primary and booster vaccinations, administered in the four-dose scheme started at birth, was significantly higher (P< 0.05) than in the three-dose scheme started at birth. Hepatitis B vaccination according to the four-dose scheme started at month 3 produced significantly higher (P < 0.05) antibody levels in comparison to the four-dose scheme started directly after birth. This study showed that a fourdose hepatitis B vaccination scheme starting at month 3 resulted in the highest antibody levels of the three schemes investigated and can be recommended for incorporation in the Expanded Programme on Immunization in The Netherlands.
