Objective: Consequences of hypothermia is associated with higher mortality and morbidity therefore, thermal control following delivery is an essential of neonatal care. We decided to learn more about thermal regulating procedures in our unit. The goal of this study was to determine the temperature at the time of admission to our neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) and how it relates to death and other morbidity. We also interested to look into the newborn interventions after delivery to control temperature and see how these interventions affect thermal regulation. Methods: Prospective cohort study using perinatal chart review data for all babies admitted to the NICU at King Fahd central hospital in Jazan. 300 babies through period of April 2021 to March 2022. Hypothermia was classified according to WHO definition as mild (36–36.5°C), moderate (32–35.9°C), or severe (32°C) when the temperature dropped below 36.5°C. We used a multivariable logistic regression analysis to investigate the adjusted effect of hypothermia on neonatal mortality and complications The regression analysis results were provided as crude/unadjusted odds ratios (OR) and adjusted odds ratios (AOR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results: Of the infants included in the dataset Almost half of them (49.3%) had abnormal body temperature, 20.7%, 11.3%, and 17.3% had mild, moderate, and severe hypothermia respectively. Around 20% of newborns were given a bath 2 hours after birth, 36% their head covered with hats, and 21.7% had skin-to-skin contact. The adjusted model found that newborns with severe hypothermia were 0.53 (OR = 0.53; [95% CI: 0.15-1.83]) times likely to die and 2.04 (OR = 2.04; [95% CI: 0.76-5.46]) times likely to develop any complication when compared to newborns without hypothermia. Newborns with low birth weight (OR = 16.5; [95% CI: 1.47-185.7]) and without skin-to-skin contact (OR = 3.27; [95% CI: 1.33-8.04]) were more likely to develop any complication when compared to those with skin-to-skin contact. Conclusion: Hypothermia, low birth weight, abnormal CBC, and absence of skin-to-skin contact all raise the risk of neonatal morbidity, according to this study. According to the study, thermal regulation techniques such as head coverings, skin-to-skin contact, and delayed bathing are not widespread in Saudi Arabian hospitals. These findings call for a review of the procedures or recommendations, as well as an assessment of how well the thermal regulation rules are being followed in NICUs.

Background: A sudden surge of occupation-associated dermatoses among the healthcare workers (HCWs) serving COVID-19 patients have been witnessed recently due to increased usage of PPE (PPE) kits and increased frequency of hygiene practices, with a significant impact on their quality of life and compromised efficacy at work. Hence, this study was conducted to measure the prevalence of occupational dermatoses among HCWs serving Covid-19 patients using PPE kits and hygiene practices and their impact on quality of life.

Background: Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a collection of mobility and postural problems. Parents, particularly mothers, care for CP children. Caring for a kid with CP can be physically taxing and cause moms to acquire musculoskeletal ailments. CP moms have a greater risk of musculoskeletal issues than mothers of generally developing children. There is little study on musculoskeletal issues in Bangladeshi moms of CP children. This study examined the frequency and symptoms of musculoskeletal diseases in Bangladeshi moms of CP children.

Our SMART aim is to reduce the UPE rate to less than 1 per 100 ventilator days and sustain it for at least six months within 12 months. We chose the rate of UPE as an outcome measure. We chose Percentage of PICU staff who attended UPE training, Percentage of compliance to nurse assignment based on RAS, percentage of adherence to safety tag, Percentage of adherence to ETT �xation and completion of UPE case analysis form as process measures. We used PDSA as the main strategy to test the changes and implement multiple interventions. Over 32 months of the entire project period, we recorded 10 UPEs events. 80% of patients were one year old or less. 60% of UPEs were with uncuffed ETT, and 80% happened in the early morning between 00:00 and 12:00. 50% needed reintubation, and 80% were discharged. However, 20% died in PICU (2 patients). 3 PDSAs were rolled out during the project and the rate of UPE decreased from 0.4 per 100 ventilation days in the year 2019 to 0.1 per 100 ventilation days in the year 2021 and was sustained for more than six months.
