Download or read book Preterm Birth written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2007-05-23 with total page 791 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The increasing prevalence of preterm birth in the United States is a complex public health problem that requires multifaceted solutions. Preterm birth is a cluster of problems with a set of overlapping factors of influence. Its causes may include individual-level behavioral and psychosocial factors, sociodemographic and neighborhood characteristics, environmental exposure, medical conditions, infertility treatments, and biological factors. Many of these factors co-occur, particularly in those who are socioeconomically disadvantaged or who are members of racial and ethnic minority groups. While advances in perinatal and neonatal care have improved survival for preterm infants, those infants who do survive have a greater risk than infants born at term for developmental disabilities, health problems, and poor growth. The birth of a preterm infant can also bring considerable emotional and economic costs to families and have implications for public-sector services, such as health insurance, educational, and other social support systems. Preterm Birth assesses the problem with respect to both its causes and outcomes. This book addresses the need for research involving clinical, basic, behavioral, and social science disciplines. By defining and addressing the health and economic consequences of premature birth, this book will be of particular interest to health care professionals, public health officials, policy makers, professional associations and clinical, basic, behavioral, and social science researchers.

Download or read book Managing Newborn Problems written by World Health Organization. Reproductive Health and Research and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2003-12-31 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every year throughout the world, about four million babies die before they reach one month old, most during the critical first week of life. Most of these deaths are a result of the poor health and nutritional status of the mother, combined with problems such as tetanus or asphyxia, trauma, low birth weight, or preterm birth. However, many of the conditions which result in perinatal death are preventable or treatable without the need for expensive technology. Against this background, this publication contains guidance on evidence-based standards for high quality care provision during the newborn period, considering the needs of mother and baby. It has been produced to assist countries with limited resources to reduce neonatal mortality. The information is arranged under four main headings: clinical assessment, findings and management; principles of newborn baby care; procedures; record keeping and essential equipment, supplies and drugs.

Download or read book Guidelines on Optimal Feeding of Low Birth Weight Infants in Low And Middle Income Countries written by World Health Organization and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of Child and Adolescent Health has developed guidelines on optimal feeding of low birth weight infants in low- and middle-income countries. These guidelines include recommendations on what to feed low-birth weight infants, when to start feeding, how to feed, how often and how much to feed. The guidelines were developed using the process described in the WHO Handbook for Development of Guidelines. Systematic reviews were conducted to answer 18 priority questions identified by the guidelines development group. The population of interest is low-birth weight infants, and the critical outcomes include mortality, severe morbidity, growth and development. The implementation of these guidelines in low- and middle-income countries is expected to improve care and survival of low birth weight infants.

Download or read book Thermal Control of the Newborn written by and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Under auspices of the World Health Organization, different specialists have compiled existing knowledge on thermal control of the newborn in this manual. The guidelines are designed to help program managers and health workers understand the principles and methods to prevent and treat hypothermia. Following the introduction, the 2nd chapter presents an overview of hypothermia in infants, including its definition, signs, effects, causative factors, general risk factors, distribution and incidence, and prevention. The 3rd chapter covers the species of thermal control of newborn infants. These specifics are heat production, the process of heat loss and heat gain, environmental conditions to prevent hypothermia, thermal control in practice, measuring the temperature of the newborn, special risk factors (e.g., preterm and low-birth-weight infants), and environmental risk factors. Prevention of hypothermia is discussed in chapter 4. Subtopics include the warm chain, training, preparation for home delivery, preventing heat loss at childbirth and during the neonatal period, preparation for delivery in a maternity unit, and transporting the baby. Chapter 5 (Keeping Preterm and Sick Babies Warm) is subdivided into 3 areas: in the home, in the health center, and general management of babies in incubators. The last area addresses monitoring the infant's body temperature, monitoring the incubator air temperature regularly, opening incubators to perform nursing procedures, loss of heat by radiation, effect of direct sunlight on babies in incubators, use of phototherapy, and cleaning of incubators. Chapter 6 presents guidelines on rewarming hypothermic babies at home, in the health center, and in the hospital.
