Indirect Bilirubin

Serum bilirubin levels above 15 mg/100 ml occurred in 7 of 54 infants with a birth weight of less than 1,500 gm. Definite or probable kernicterus occurred in five of these seven infants. The maximum level of indirect serum bilirubin in the five infants with kernicterus varied from 18.5 to 20.4 mg/100 ml in three infants and from 22.2 to 23.2 mg/100 ml in two. Exchange transfusions were performed in four of the five infants at levels of 18 to 22 mg/100 ml but were ineffective in preventing kernicterus. Skin hemorrhage appeared to be one of the etiologic factors causing the hyperbilirubinemia in the five infants with kernicterus. Exchange transfusion must be performed at levels of indirect bilirubin below 20 mg/100 ml if death or neurologic damage are to be prevented in the small, critically ill premature infant.

Ct Scanner

The identification of intracerebellar hemorrhage in a living premature infant by real-time ultrasound scan and confirmation of the findings at autopsy are described. This represents the first demonstration of the value of this noninvasive, convenient, and safe means of brain imaging in diagnosis of this lesion. Previous studies have described the role of the computed tomography (CT) scan in identification of intracerebellar hemorrhage in the newborn. Because infants with intracerebellar hemorrhage are usually critically ill, a means of identification of the lesion that could be utilized at the bedside rather than an approach that requires transport to a CT scanner is needed. This study indicates that portable real-time ultrasound scanning can satisfy that need.

State Of The Science

Feeding intolerance has been identified as a momentous problem for the premature infant. Technological advances have enhanced survival of infants at younger gestational ages, although nutritional management has not kept in stride with this progress. Controversy exists over the best approach to initiating and advancing feedings for the critically ill infant, and the debate over which is the best method of feeding is ongoing. The purpose of this integrative review is to examine the problem of feeding intolerance in the premature infant. Variables affecting current practice strategies will be investigated and implications for further research will be explored.
