En 2018, l’Institut Pasteur de Madagascar a mené une recherche anthropologique sur la prise en charge de la prématurité selon la Méthode mère kangourou (MMK) consistant à porter un enfant prématuré sur le ventre, en contact peau contre peau et à pratiquer un allaitement maternel strict. Mise au point en Colombie, cette méthode conçue comme une alternative au manque de couveuses pour les bébés nés avant terme a été rapidement considérée comme un dispositif miracle pouvant être répliqué quel que soit le lieu et évoquant les modèles voyageurs. Les données ont été collectées dans un centre hospitalier de la capitale par les observations collectives et directes du déroulement de la MMK, les observations individuelles et les entretiens semi-directifs avec les soignants, les mères et les porteuses. Les résultats montrent les difficultés des acteurs à respecter strictement le modèle compte tenu d’un contexte qui les conduit à adapter la méthode à la réalité du terrain
Background: Very low birth weight (VLBW) new-borns represent vulnerable group. The lower the birth weight, the higher the mortality rate. The objective of this study was to describe the nutritional management of VLBW new-borns and to determine their hospital outcome.Methods: A retrospective cohort study was carried out during 24 months in a hospital center of Antananarivo. All newborns weighing less than 1500 g at birth and admitted to neonatal resuscitation service were included.Results: Of the 577 newborns admitted during this period, 48 were retained as very low birth weight. All had less than to 37 gestational age. New-borns less than or equal to 32 gestational age had a 4.02-fold risk of dying. VLBW with a birth weight less than 1,000 g were 2.12 times more likely to die than those between 1,000 and 1,499 g. The use of artificial milk was neither associated with the onset of digestive intolerance nor associated with VLBW early outcome.Conclusions: Hospital nutritional management of VLBW requires specific and delicate care. Breast milk is ideal for the newborn. But if it is not available immediately, the alternative that is not disadvantageous is artificial milk.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
