Using kangaroo care (KC) with unstable and/or ventilated infants remains controversial. In this article, potential advantages for ventilated infants and their mothers are discussed. The 33-week-gestation infant in this case study presented with mild respiratory distress at birth, requiring supplemental oxygen at hour 2. With no improvement by hour 18, KC was also begun, first for 1.25 hours and then, 2 hours later, for 3.5 hours. The infant was intubated at hour 45 for increasing respiratory distress, and KC resumed 24 hours later for 1 hour and 3 hours after that for an additional 3 hours. Extubation occurred at hour 90. Kangaroo care resumed 2 hours later for periods of 1.5, 1.5, and 1 hour over the next 8 hours, 2.5 hours more later that day (day 5, the last day of data collection). Thereafter, KC was done intermittently until discharge on day 9. Total KC times for pre-vent, vent, and immediate post-vent periods were 4.75, 4, and 6.5 hours, respectively. The data from this study suggest that KC may assist in, rather than retard, recovery from respiratory distress. KC may also foster maternal relaxation and minimize maternal stress.

Infant Case

Pulmonary atelectasis leads to difficulties in weaning of the neonates from mechanical ventilation. The management of persistent atelectasis in neonates constitutes a common challenge for physicians. Several reports suggested Recombinant human DNase (rhDNase) as a beneficial therapy for neonates with persistent atelectasis by reducing mucous viscosity. No adverse effect associated with rhDNase treatment was reported in neonates. Herein, we report probable adverse reactions associated with rhDNase use in a preterm infant. Therefore, we suggest that clinicians must be aware of this reaction in neonates and should carefully follow up these infants for the development of adverse reactions. We think that more clinical experience and data are needed to define its tolerability and adverse effect profile in neonates.
