  • Physiologic Changes During Sponge Bathing in Premature Infants
    International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health Article Physiologic Changes during Sponge Bathing in Premature Infants Jongcheul Lee 1 and Yaelim Lee 2,* 1 College of Nursing, The Dankook University of Korea, Chungnam 3116, Korea; [email protected] 2 College of Nursing, The Catholic University of Korea, Seoul 06591, Korea * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +82-22588148 Abstract: In this study, we observed physiological reactions of premature infants during sponge bathing in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). The infants’ body temperature, heart rate, and oxygen saturation were monitored to examine hypothermia risks during bathing. The participants of the study were 32 premature infants who were hospitalized right after their birth in the V hospital in Korea between December 2012 and August 2013. The informed consents of the study were received from the infants’ parents. The infants were randomly assigned into two-day and four-day bath cycle groups and their physiological reactions were monitored before bathing as well as 5 and 10 min after bathing. The collected data were analyzed using the SPSS statistical package through t-test. A significant drop in body temperature was noted in both groups; that is, 4-day bathing cycle and 2-day bathing cycle (p < 0.001). However, there were no significant changes in heart rate or transcutaneous oxygen levels. There was no significant change between groups at each measurement point. In order to minimize the physiological instability that may be caused during bathing, the care providers should try to complete bathing within the shortest possible time and to make bathing a pleasant and useful stimulus for infants.

  • In Healthy Full and Late Pre-Term Babies, Does Delaying
    IN HEALTHY FULL AND LATE PRE-TERM BABIES, DOES DELAYING THE FIRST BATH UNTIL AT LEAST 24 HOURS OF LIFE EFFECT IN-HOSPITAL BREASTFEEDING RATES, THERMOREGULATION AND GLYCEMIC CONTROL? By © Susan Warren A Thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Medicine (Clinical Epidemiology) Discipline of Clinical Epidemiology, Faculty of Medicine Memorial University of Newfoundland October 2018 St. John’s Newfoundland and Labrador ABSTRACT Objective: To determine if delaying a newborn’s first bath until at least 24 hours of life, as recommended by the World Health Organization, effects in-hospital breastfeeding rates, infant hypothermia rates and/or infant hypoglycemia rates. Methods: Retrospective cohort study comparing 680 infants bathed before 24 hours to 545 infants bathed after 24 hours. The primary outcome was comparison of the rates of in-hospital breastfeeding initiation and exclusive breastfeeding at discharge. Secondary outcomes were a comparison of rates of infant hypothermia and hypoglycemia. Results: Exclusive breastfeeding rates were 33% higher in the delayed bathing cohort compared to the early bathing cohort (AOR 1.334, 95% CI 1.049-1.698, p=0.019). No significant difference in breastfeeding initiation rates were observed in the total population or high-risk subgroup but in the average risk subgroup there was a significant 43% increase in breastfeeding initiation rates when bathing was delayed (AOR 1.433, 95% CI 1.008-2.039, p=0.045). Infants bathed after 24 hours were 2.5 times more likely to experience a hypothermic event than those bathed before 24 hours (AOR 2.524, 95% CI 1.239-5.142, p=0.011).
