Base administration or fluid bolus for preventing morbidity and mortality in preterm infants with metabolic acidosis

Pattern of daily weights among low birth weight neonates in the neonatal intensive care unit: data from a multihospital health-care system

“…5 We constructed a new postnatal weight chart based on 30 consecutive months of actual weights measured daily on 1813 patients in four NICUs in one health system. We speculated that changes in early fluid management 19,20 and early nutrition, 6 implemented in NICU's during the past decade, likely resulted in less initial weight loss and more rapid gain, particularly in the smallest patients. Indeed, we found differences between the weight changes predicted by the present grid and all previous grids.…”

“…[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] On the basis of these, we hypothesized that NICU patients cared for currently have more rapid weight gain than are displayed on the commonly used postnatal grids. [2][3][4][5] To test this we collected, from electronic records, all daily weights of all patients with birth weights 400-2600 g, born during a 30-month period, January 1, 2003-June 30, 2005, cared for in any the NICU's of the Intermountain Health Care (IHC) System.…”

Development and validation of the Neonatal Mortality Score-9 Mexico to predict mortality in critically ill neonates

“…d) Development of the scale scoring system: Outcome measures resulting from the final model were scored based on the significance of the statistical association reported by other authors (prognosis and meta-analysis articles). [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] Results obtained were compared to those from the first cohort: values reported as normal and within the median were considered as 0 points; values corresponding to the 3rd quartile, 1 point; and the value from the last quartile, 2 points ( Table 1). The scale was named Neonatal Mortality Score-9 Mexico (EMN-9 Mex).…”

Metabolic acidosis in childhood: why, when and how to treat

“…Revisões sistemáticas não demonstraram evidências de benefício de administração de BS na redução da mortalidade e morbidade na RCP de neonatos na sala de parto ou em prematuros com ACM [63][64][65] .…”
