Neonatal Development: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 21:53, 21 April 2010

Introduction

The neonatal period (birth to 1 month) is a time of extensive and ongoing system transition from uterine environment to external world, this includes the initial period after birth which is referred to as the perinatal period.

It would seem obvious to say that development does not stop at birth. In fact many systems (cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, homeostasis) undergo significant changes at birth, and many others (neural) have not yet completed their development. Note this current project focuses on prenatal development, so postnatal content is not as detailed.

Neonatal - Very Low Birth Weight (VLBW)

VLBW neonates are between 401 to 1500 grams. The table below shows USA (NICHD) data for VLBW infants who survived beyond 3 days and had one or more episodes of blood culture-proven sepsis, the common cause of infection by gram-positive organisms, and the percentage of these resulting from coagulase-negative staphylococci.^[1] ^[2]

Years	Blood culture-proven sepsis	Gram-positive organisms	Staphylococci
1991-1993	25%	73%	55%
1998-2000	21%	70%	48%
