    CLINICAL REPORT Guidance for the Clinician in Rendering Pediatric Care Apnea of Prematurity Eric C. Eichenwald, MD, FAAP, COMMITTEE ON FETUS AND NEWBORN Apnea of prematurity is one of the most common diagnoses in the NICU. abstract Despite the frequency of apnea of prematurity, it is unknown whether recurrent apnea, bradycardia, and hypoxemia in preterm infants are harmful. Research into the development of respiratory control in immature animals and preterm infants has facilitated our understanding of the pathogenesis and treatment of apnea of prematurity. However, the lack of consistent defi nitions, monitoring practices, and consensus about clinical signifi cance leads to signifi cant variation in practice. The purpose of this clinical report is to review the evidence basis for the defi nition, epidemiology, and treatment of apnea of prematurity as well as discharge recommendations for preterm infants diagnosed with recurrent apneic events.

  • Caffeine Therapy for Apnea of Prematurity
    Newborn Critical Care Center (NCCC) Clinical Guidelines Caffeine Therapy for Apnea of Prematurity INTRODUCTION Apnea in the premature infant can be caused by decreased central respiratory drive, inability to maintain airway patency, and other causes. The treatment of choice for central apnea, when indicated, is caffeine, and upper airway obstruction leading to apnea may be effectively treated with CPAP. Caffeine is a methylxanthine that acts as a central nervous system stimulant. The effects are mediated by its antagonism of the actions of adenosine at cell surface receptors in the medulla. It increases chemoreceptor sensitivity to CO2 and the output of the respiratory center in the medulla. The use of caffeine in the CAP trial (Schmidt et al) was associated with decreased risk of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (at 36 weeks PMA) and cerebral palsy at 2 years. DRUG INFORMATION Caffeine Citrate • Loading dose: 20 mg/kg • Maintenance dose: Initial maintenance dose suggested - 5 mg/kg every 24 hours • Maintenance dosing range: 5-10 mg/kg • Monitoring: Clinical response; consider holding dose if HR >180 • Adverse Effects: Tachycardia, restlessness, vomiting, decreased seizure threshold INDICATIONS TO START CAFFEINE 1. Ensure that there is no other attributable cause of apnea (i.e., infection, seizure, CNS abnormality). 2. <30 weeks gestation: a. Administer caffeine for prophylaxis in the non-mechanically ventilated infant b. Administer caffeine to infants demonstrating apnea c. Administer caffeine to infants to be extubated in the first 10 postnatal days d. Avoid routine use of caffeine in preterm infants likely to remain mechanically ventilated beyond 10 postnatal days (Amaro et al) because of non-statistically significant increase in mortality 3.

  • Transitioning Newborns from NICU to Home: Family Information Packet
    Transitioning Newborns from NICU to Home Family Information Packet Your Health Coach has prepared this information packet for your family to help explain the medical needs of your newborn as you prepare to leave the hospital. A Health Coach helps families/ caregivers adjust to working directly with the health care providers as well as increasing your ability and confidence to care for your infant. When infants are born before their due date or with health problems, families often need help managing their baby’s health care after leaving the hospital. Since they spend the first part of their lives in the hospital, the babies and their families may find it helpful to have extra support. Your Health Coach will work with your family to teach you to care for your infant, connect with the right doctors and specialists for treatment, and find resources in your area. The role of the Health Coach is as an educator, not as a caregiver. Planning must start before hospital discharge and continue through followup with the primary care provider. After discharge from the hospital, your infant’s care must be well coordinated and clearly communicated to avoid medical errors that could harm the baby. After your infant is discharged, your Health Coach should follow up with you by phone within a few days to make sure the transition is going well. Your Health Coach will want to know how your baby is doing, whether you have any questions or concerns, if your infant has been to the scheduled appointments, etc. This information packet contains tips for getting care, understanding signs and symptoms of illness, medicines and immunizations, managing breathing problems, and feeding.

  • Apnea in the Newborn
    Apnea in the Newborn Rajiv Aggarwal, Ashwini Singhal, Ashok K Deorari, Vinod K Paul Division of Neonatology, Department of Pediatrics All India Institute of Medical Sciences Ansari Nagar, New Delhi –110029 Address for correspondence: Dr Vinod K Paul Additional Professor Department of Pediatrics All India Institute of Medical Sciences Ansari Nagar, New Delhi 110029 Email: [email protected] 2 Abstract Apnea, defined as cessation of breathing resulting in pathological changes in heart rate and oxygen saturation, is a common occurrence in sick neonates. Apnea is a common manifestation of various etiologies in sick neonates. In preterm children it may be related to the immaturity of the central nervous system. Secondary causes of apnea should be excluded before a diagnosis of apnea of prematurity is made. Methylxanthines and Continuous Positive Airway Pressure form the mainstay of treatment of apnea in neonates. Mechanical ventilation is reserved for apnea resistant to above therapy. An approach to the management of apnea in neonates has been described. 3 Apnea in the Newborn 1. Introduction About 30-45% of preterm babies exhibit a periodic breathing pattern characterized by 3 or more respiratory pauses of greater than 3 seconds duration with less than 20 seconds respiration between pauses. Periodic breathing is a normal event, is usually not associated with any physiological changes in the infant and does not merit any treatment. Apnea is a pathological cessation of breathing that results in physiological changes (decrease in central drive, peripheral perfusion, cyanosis, bradycardia, hypotonia) and merits treatment. 2. Definition Apnea is defined as cessation of respiration for >20 sec or cessation of respiration of any duration accompanied by bradycardia (HR <100/min) and/or cyanosis.

  • Vera Kelly Is Not a Mystery Reintroduces Us to Vera, One of the Most Compelling and Complex Characters in Modern Fiction
    “Rosalie Knecht has resurrected the detective novel for the twenty-first century. I tore through this book. More Vera Kelly, please.” —IDRA NOVEY, author of Those Who Knew “Vera Kelly Is Not a Mystery reintroduces us to Vera, one of the most compelling and complex characters in modern fiction . will keep you guessing until the very end.” —LAUREN WILKINSON, author of American Spy “Forget about 007. This heroine has her own brand of spycraft.” —THE WASHINGTON POST “Knecht’s novel is a slow-burn espionage thriller, a complex treatment of queer identity, and an immersive period piece all rolled into one delectable page-turner. Vera Kelly introduces a fascinating new spy to literature’s mystery canon.” —ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY “A splendid, genre-pushing thriller. A fractured coming out in the repressive ’50s primed Vera for a life of deception—but in Knecht’s expert hands she’s smart and complicated, yearning for connection in a tumultuous world.” —PEOPLE “Gripping, magnificently written. This is a cool, strolling boulevardier of a book, worldly, wry, unrushed but never slow, which casts its gaze upon the middle of the last century and forces us to consider how it might be failing us still.” —THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW “The personal is most definitely political in Rosalie Knecht’s crisp, lively, and subversive second novel, Who Is Vera Kelly? . John le Carré and many other writers make hay with the personal repercussions of assuming false identity. Knecht flips the terms artfully, showing us a heroine who discovers her true tough self by going undercover.” —NPR, “Best Books of 2018” “Thanks to Rosalie Knecht’s clever, hilarious writing, you’ll find yourself wanting everyone you know to read it so that you can discuss together the wholly original, brilliantly subversive character that is Vera Kelly.” —NYLON Copyright © 2020 Rosalie Knecht All rights reserved.

This ensured my clients were focussing on the vocabulary which would give them the best chance of successfully communicating with others across activities as quickly as possible. It was always a challenge to integrate my communication goals with pre-planned classroom activities so they could easily be worked on without feeling like a hassle for people! This booklet draws on the work by Liberator and Lindsey Paden-Cargill in her document Core Vocabulary Studies and Core Word Activities v2. Following a review of common core words, we have looked at the 50 first words list, developed by Prentke Romich Company. This list was created following a clinical evaluation of word frequency lists (which words we use most frequently in our speech), with additional consideration given to: - developmental factors such as core words which can be used alone (i.e.
