The Importance Of New Technology Saving Baby's Lives

During my four days with the baby I had new developments for how I felt towards children. My initial thoughts on this baby project was that it would be easy and fun because of my experience with my little brother and sister, but boy was I wrong. The project was a lot of work. You don’t get a fun interactive baby, you only get the bad parts of the baby. You get the crying, diaper using, and hungry baby. It’s a lot of work.

A 21 year old woman, who was 20 weeks pregnant, was brought into the emergency department after being found unconscious and without a pulse for an unknown time after an apparent heroin overdose. Emergency medical services secured her airway with an endotracheal tube and initiated cardiopulmonary resuscitation, resulting in return of spontaneous circulation. The patient was stabilized and admitted to an intensive care unit for treatment. Multiple neurological assessments, an electroencephalogram and magnetic resonance imaging were performed. Results showed irreversible anoxic brain injury and clinical diagnosis of brain death. Fetal medicine assessed the patient and found a normal fetal heart rate and fetal movement. The father of the child

Screening refers to the testing of people without signs or symptoms for a disease or condition, with the aim of reducing their future risk of ill health or of giving them information about their risk. [1,2] Currently, there is great diversity and discordance among screening programs across Canada, with significant variation in screening policies and practices across the jurisdictions. Newborns screening in Ontario test for 29 disorders. British Columbia and Yukon test for 22 disorders, while Alberta and Northwest Territories test for 17. At least 30 disorders are screened in Saskatchewan, while Manitoba tests for upward of 40. [3]

Throughout this essay I will be discussing the holistic impact a premature baby within the neonatal units has on not only the child but also the immediate family. There are many health issues which can affect the child but also other issues including attachment to the mother which can also have a long-term effect on the child. This can also influence the family as there may be financial implications on the family due to these extra unexpected costs. Throughout this essay I will be discussing these topics in detail.

Years ago, parents kept track of their babies by waiting for them to cry out and then checking on them. At one time, it was even advised by the experts not to check in too often, but to stick to a rigid schedule. Times have certainly changed. Now days there are monitors which will let parents listen in to the baby�s room so they will know if he is awake or asleep. They can also utilize a video monitor to keep the baby in sight while he is in his crib. They can even set up the monitors to spy on the babysitter.

Something that happened to me as a child was getting lost in the store. This occurred when I was about seven years old. My mom and I were shopping at the store named Kohl's. We were walking through the store looking at the clothes and shoes together, but after a while I got bored. So then I told her, ¨ I am going to go look at the toys.¨

Having a baby in the NICU is scary and the days can seem endless. But thankfully for many babies, there’s a happy ending, and after days, weeks, or months it’s time to go home! As a preemie parent, time to go home is both exciting and terrifying!

Premature infants usually require different and sometimes more detailed and specific nutritional needs than a full-term infant. Focusing on or at least being aware of any organs that aren't fully developed, can be beneficial in reducing the risk of any in tolerances, growth or development delays. A big immaturity of a premature infant is their GI tract. There tends to be issues with the ability to suck or swallow and even breathe while doing so. The esophageal sphincter might not work correctly, and there could be low motility of the intestinal tract. There is also the chance for the infant to not be able to digest and absorb certain nutrition like carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, and minerals. Since this is such a big issue, having different

While there are current programs in place to help young mothers and infants, many are not aimed for the interventions these high risk populations face. One way to help this group is by designing a program or appropriate services that would help resolve some of the impediments mothers and infants face. This proposed program is called The New Pathways. The New Pathways For Mothers and Infants (TNPM) this a program that is set up to offer community level involvements to vulnerable mothers and children with multi-faceted problems such as social, financial, and cultural aspects. The goal is to meet the needs of young pregnant mothers who are unlikely to succeed in future goals because of the community standards in which they live. This program would propose outreach workers such as volunteer counselors, teachers, health care workers and previous participants. Through a community improvement approach The New Pathways For Mothers and Infants aim is to enhance a higher success rate for young mothers to receive proper prenatal care through

Infants within the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) are one of the most vulnerable patient population in the hospital. The quality and safety of these patients are at top priority because of their immune systems have not fully developed yet causing them to be at the highest risk for infections.

The Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) defines safety as, “the minimization of risk of harm to patients and
