Study Notes
Milestone Revision
- Key developmental milestones from 0-12 months include adapting to the environment, exhibiting anti-gravity movements, mobility, and refined movement.
- Observe and document each milestone, noting surprises and connections to reflexes and other developmental measures.
Importance of Developmental Phases
- Head control enhances sensory development, encourages exploration, and facilitates eye control.
- Rolling aids trunk mobility, stability, and weight-bearing on limbs (WBL); assess rolling preference.
- Crawling integrates left and right side movements, essential for overall coordination.
- Sitting emphasizes balance, weight shift, and postural reactions.
- Grasping allows interaction with language centers and contributes to overall development and activities of daily living (ADL).
- Positive reinforcement maximizes the learning process.
Objective Outcome Measures
- Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) assesses motor skills in four positions (prone, supine, sitting, standing) up to 18 months.
- Bayley Scales of Infant Toddler Development III evaluates developmental functioning across cognitive, language, motor, social-emotional, and adaptive behavior until 42 months.
Facilitation of Developmental Delay
- Key areas for group work focus on head control, rolling, sitting, crawling, standing, cruising, walking, and fine motor skills.
Complications of Prematurity
- Prematurity defined as birth before 37 weeks gestation.
- Low birth weight classifications include:
- Low Birth Weight (LBW) < 2500g
- Very Low Birth Weight (VLBW) < 1500g
- Extremely Low Birth Weight (ELBW) < 1000g
- Incredibly Low Birth Weight (ILBW) < 750g
Risk Factors for Prematurity
- History of prematurity, intra-uterine infection, and growth restriction (IUGR) increase odds of early birth.
- Multiple births, pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes, cervical/placental/uterine issues, and lifestyle factors are contributing risks.
NICU Overview
- NICU aims to decrease stress, mechanical ventilation time, and oxygen requirements while promoting weight gain.
- Premature infants require special care, with emphasis on feeding and growth for those with Very Low Birth Weight.
- Treatment options may include steroids and surfactant therapy to manage complications.
NICU Admission Indications
- Admissions typically occur for complications or conditions associated with prematurity that require specialized neonatal care.
