Advantages And Disadvantages Of Neopenda

Premature birth is an important public health priority in terms of health of women and infants. Every year an estimated 15 million preterm babies are born and this number is still rising (WHO, 2015).In 2014, 1 of every 10 babies born in United States were premature and black infants were 50% more likely to be born premature than white, Hispanic and Asian/Pacific islander infants (CDC,2015). Almost 1 million children die each year due to complications of premature birth (WHO, 2015). Major survivors face lifelong disabilities like learning disabilities, hearing, visual, feeding, digestive, breathing and respiratory problems (CDC, 2015) and low birth weight (March of Dimes, 2014). A major challenge in decreasing the rate of preterm birth is

Infant deaths in the neonatal period are caused by complications arising from preterm births, birth defects, maternal health conditions, complications of labor and delivery, and lack of access to appropriate care at the time of delivery. Infant deaths in the post-neonatal period are driven by sudden unexpected infant death (SUID) (including sudden infant death syndrome [SIDS]), injury, and infection (MMRW, 2013). An increasing proportion of post-neonatal infant deaths occur among infants who were born preterm but survived the neonatal period (Callaghan, 2006). On the other hand there is lesser knowledge of the incidence and etilogy of fetal mortality which according to MacDorman et al, makes fetal mortality an overlooked public health issue. Lee et al, echoed the same idea when they said infant mortality has been the main focus of public health programming while fetal deaths have gone untargeted. However, with the decrease in infant mortality rates there have been recent approaches such as perinatal period of risk analysis framework (PPOR) that highlight the need to include fetal

Herein I briefly overview the Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) within the United States. Initially, I discuss specific causes of infant death and then, contributing factors which put babies at risk. Next, the distribution of various IMR is surveyed on a state to state basis. States possessing the ten highest infant mortality rates are discussed, including possible reasons for higher IMR. In addition, those states with the ten lowest IMR are mentioned. In conclusion, I consider preventative measures for minimizing the number of babies that die each year.

In the United States, the Department of Health and Human Services works tirelessly in order to improve the conditions for newborn infants. Their goal is to provide essential human services, as well as protect the health for all Americans. Specifically, the area of infant health focuses on the period of rapid development from birth to one year age. The factors that contribute to infant health is not only attributed to the child, but also extends to the health of the mother and their family support system as well. This area of healthcare is extremely important because it ensures the future health of the next generation. Infant health has many external factors, such as social, economic, and biological, that influence the well-being of the

Of the 4 million babies born each year in the United States, one out of eight will be premature. Each year, thousands of babies around the country are born too soon and they face a lifetime of health problems. I can attest to these health problems being real because Willie Tre’ has acute eczema, epilepsy and has Autism Spectrum Disorder, however my family is blessed because many babies will not survive.

Medical and technological advances in maternal and neonatal care have significantly reduced maternal and infant mortality and medical interventions have become commonplace and arguably routine. Used appropriately, they can be lifesaving procedures. Routine use, without valid indication though, can transform childbirth from a natural physiologic process and family event into a medical or surgical procedure. Every intervention presents the possibility of unwanted effects and subsequent risks that can potentiate more interventions with their own inherent risks (McKinney, 2014).

As it was previously mentioned, nurses will be the leading members of this project. Administrative tasks such as hiring, budgeting, recording inventory, developing partnerships, and evaluating quality and performance, will be carried by the nurse manager. Delivery of prenatal care will be mainly performed by a team of CNMs and RNs. One CNM will be the primary care provider in charge of the complex cases presenting in the Prenatal Care Mobile. The scope of practice of the CNM allows patients to receive medical diagnoses and prescriptions that otherwise, could not be provided by a RN. A couple of RNs will be delivering most of the care for the uncomplicated patients, while also performing comprehensive assessments, screening or diagnostic tests,

"Up to 12% of deliveries in developed countries are preterm." This is approximately 500,000 premature births per year. In 2009, my cousin was born ten weeks prematurely, weighing merely two pounds, four ounces. After spending a copious amount of time in and out of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) with my family over the course of a month, I developed an interest in its operation. Being a neonatologist became my leading occupation of interest. I chose to further research this topic in hopes of finding out whether or not this is the career path for me. In my research paper, I plan to go into further detail about the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), common medical conditions found in premature infants, how to react and treat these medical conditions, and necessary education to become a neonatologist.

The number of children born each year can have an enormous impact on society, there can be a massive epidemic. People do not want their child to be exposed to these deadly infectious disease, especially if they are preventable.

As a health care provider, it is extremely important to be aware of different resources that can be used to help you provide the highest quality of care to each patient. In this paper, I will touch on several websites that discuss different topics of maternal, infant, and child health. Many of these websites include educational information that can be passed on to women of child bearing age, those who are expecting, and those caring for infants.

Supporting a child is incredibly difficult without a proper environment and sufficient necessary resources. Within the dystopia created, the particular setting raises more than just the ordinarily present issues that come with the idea of a newborn. Of the most fundamental issues, comes the lack of sufficient medical care that is necessary to not only aid in the birth, but also in the

Each year in the United States, more than 3500 infants without prior known illness or injury die suddenly and unexpectedly. Such deaths have occurred for centuries, with the first reference being in the Book of Kings in the Bible, where a woman was thought to have lost her infant due to “overlaying” which is rolling over her baby in her sleep.

There are currently numerous advancements happening in neonatal care. Deaths among toddlers have dropped, there are more technological advancements now than ever before, with even more progress happening. 1 in every 8 babies born are premature. The number one reason that newborns die is due to being born premature. The invention of incubator was not made until 1891 (The History of Neonatal Intensive Care Units Timeline). This was the beginning of Neonatal Intensive Care, and could save babies that were born at this time only a few weeks early(The History of Neonatal Intensive Care Units Timeline). Before the 1900's, many, if not all premature babies weren't able to be saved. However with the invention of the incubator, most doctors and midwives

The current death rate is 29 per 1,000 live births and of the 2.8 million newborns dying at birth worldwide, India accounts for 700,000 children dying at birth or shortly after. The National Health Policy to improve care children and women. Poor neonatal health conditions, widespread illiteracy, poverty, poor sanitation and nutrition have also been identified and India’s hopes to tackle these issues by passing this policy.

The program presented in this grant proposal aims to address these bottle necks by implementing a nationwide mobile vitals registration system in conjunction with training CHWs in rural areas to educate community members about birth registration and forming village registries that can be used to register births with the NPC. Mobile vital registration systems have been successfully implemented in Uganda and Tanzania. Furthermore, birth registration rates were significantly increased in Ghana
