    Study Notes

    Gavage Feeding

    • Gavage feeding is recommended for newborns who are unable to suckle or swallow adequately.

    Kangaroo Care

    • Kangaroo Care is a method of holding the newborn against the mother's bare chest, promoting skin-to-skin contact, and has been shown to improve breastfeeding, reduce stress, and regulate body temperature.

    In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)

    • IVF is not typically used for newborns, as it is a method of assisted reproduction for conceiving a child.

    Colorado Intrauterine Growth Chart

    • The Colorado Intrauterine Growth Chart is used to assess fetal growth and development, and to identify infants who are at risk for growth restriction.

    Small for Gestational Age (SGA)

    • An infant is considered SGA if their birth weight is below the 10th percentile for their gestational age.

    Very Low Birth Weight (VLBW)

    • A VLBW infant is born with a weight of less than 1,500 grams.

    Persistent Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA)

    • Indomethacin or ibuprofen may help close a PDA in preterm infants.

    Periventricular/Intraventricular Hemorrhage (PVH/IVH)

    • Obstruction of the aqueduct after a PVH/IVH can lead to Hydrocephalus.

    Anemia in Preterm Infants

    • A low reticulocyte count and the appearance of pale, lethargic, and anorexic symptoms are related in preterm infants, as they are indicative of anemia.

    Kernicterus

    • Exchange transfusion can help manage Kernicterus in preterm infants, which is a condition that occurs when bilirubin builds up in the brain and causes damage.
