J Perinatol 2024; 44:314-320. [PMID: 38242961 DOI: 10.1038/s41372-024-01879-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2023] [Revised: 01/02/2024] [Accepted: 01/08/2024] [Indexed: 01/21/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Following the opening of an infant cardiac neonatal intensive care unit, our aim was to determine a baseline UE rate and implement initiatives to target a goal less than 0.5 UEs/100 ventilator days. METHODS We utilized the Model for Improvement. Key stakeholders included neonatal providers, nurses, and respiratory therapists. We focused on the creation of an airway bundle that addressed securement methods, communication and education. RESULTS From October 2017 to January 2018, our baseline UE rate was 0.92 UEs/100 ventilator days. Subsequent to the implementation of an airway bundle with high compliance, we observed a significant change in the centerline (0.45 to 0.02 UEs/100 ventilator days) during the spring of 2021, followed by a period of 480 days with no UEs. CONCLUSION In a unit where UEs were infrequent events, high compliance with an airway bundle led to a significantly sustained decrease in our UE rates.

Abstract
AIMS This study was performed to identify and summarize systematic reviews focusing on the prevention of unplanned endotracheal extubation in the intensive care unit. DESIGN Overview of systematic reviews. METHODS This overview was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Overviews of Systematic Reviews, including the harms checklist. A literature search of PubMed, the Cochrane Library, CINAH, Embase, Web of Science, SINOMED and PROSPERO was performed from January 1, 2005-June 1, 2021. A systematic review focusing on unplanned extubation was included, resulting in an evidence summary. RESULTS Thirteen systematic reviews were included. A summary of evidence on unplanned endotracheal extubation was developed, and the main contents were risk factors, preventive measures and prognosis. The most important nursing measures were restraint, fixation of the tracheal tube, continuous quality improvement, psychological care and use of a root cause analysis for the occurrence of unplanned endotracheal extubation. CONCLUSIONS This overview re-evaluated risk factors and preventive measures for unplanned endotracheal extubation in the intensive care unit, resulting in a summary of evidence for preventing unplanned endotracheal extubation and providing direction for future research. TRIAL REGISTRATION DETAILS The study was registered on the PROSPERO website.

Abstract
Objetivo: identificar estratégias para a prevenção de lesões de pele em recém-nascidos (RN) hospitalizados, publicadas em periódicos científicos no período de 2013 a 2018. Método: revisão integrativa de literatura realizada em dois momentos de busca em bases de dados, sendo selecionados 37 estudos publicados entre os anos de 2013 e 2018. Resultados: termorregulação, uso de antisséptico, uso de emolientes e limpeza do coto umbilical foram as recomendações mais encontradas. Entre as práticas baseadas em evidência, destacam-se as que previnem o risco de hipotermia, como o uso de saco de polietileno e o contato pele a pele, que respaldam a assistência e que garantem segurança no cuidado do paciente neonatal. Conclusão: a prevenção de lesões de pele é um tema relevante, entretanto, existe escassez de evidências robustas para sustentar, com segurança, as práticas de cuidados com o RN. Observa-se ainda que as evidências são insuficientes para englobar o universo do tema, demonstrando que o cuidado com a pele é um tema que demanda investimentos e mais pesquisas.

Abstract
Objective: To identify strategies for the prevention of skin lesions in hospitalized newborns (NBs), published in scientific journals from 2013 to 2018. Method: Integrative literature review performed in two moments of database search, selecting 37 studies published between 2013 and 2018. Results: Thermoregulation, use of antiseptic, use of emollients and cleaning of the umbilical stump were the most commonly found recommendations. Among the evidence-based practices, we highlight those that prevent the risk of hypothermia, such as the use of a polyethylene bag and skin-to-skin contact, which support the assistance and ensure safety in the care of the neonatal patient. Conclusion: The prevention of skin lesions is a relevant topic. However, there is a scarcity of robust evidence to safely sustain NB care practices. It is also observed that the evidence is insufficient to encompass the universe of the theme, demonstrating that skin care is a theme that requires investment and more research.

Abstract
Invasive ventilation is often necessary for the treatment of newborn infants with respiratory insufficiency. The neonatal patient has unique physiological characteristics such as small airway caliber, few collateral airways, compliant chest wall, poor airway stability, and low functional residual capacity. Pathologies affecting the newborn's lung are also different from many others observed later in life. Several different ventilation modes and strategies are available to optimize mechanical ventilation and to prevent ventilator-induced lung injury. Important aspects to be considered in ventilating neonates include the use of correct sized endotracheal tube to minimize airway resistance and work of breathing, positioning of the patient, the nursing care, respiratory kinesiotherapy, sedation and analgesia, and infection prevention, namely, the ventilator-associated pneumonia and nosocomial infection, as well as prevention and treatment of complications such as air leaks and pulmonary hemorrhage. Aspects of ventilation in patients under ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) and in palliative care are of increasing interest nowadays. Online pulmonary mechanics and function testing as well as capnography are becoming more commonly used. Echocardiography is now a routine in most neonatal units. Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is an attractive tool potentially helping in preventing intraventricular hemorrhage and periventricular leukomalacia. Lung ultrasound is an emerging tool of diagnosis and can be of added value in helping monitoring the ventilated neonate. The aim of this scientific literature review is to address relevant aspects concerning the respiratory care and monitoring of the invasively ventilated newborn in order to help physicians to optimize the efficacy of care.

Abstract
Neonates requiring intensive care are at high risk for medical errors due to their unique characteristics and high acuity. Designing a safer work environment begins with safe processes. Creating a culture of safety demands the involvement of all organizational levels and an interdisciplinary approach. Adverse events can result from suboptimal communication and lack of a shared mental model. This chapter describes tools to promote better patient safety in the NICU through monitoring adverse events, improving communication and using information technology. Unplanned extubation is an example of a neonatal safety concern that can be reduced by employing quality improvement methodology.
