The Brazilian healthcare structure has evolved in recent decades, but there are still shortages of beds in Intensive Care Units, especially in Neonatal Units. In early December 2019 they reported the first cases of a new infectious coronavirus disease (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The present work makes an observational assessment of the number of deaths in the year 2020 related to the New Coronavirus Pandemic, the number of births and the panorama of Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) in the last decade. The results showed an increase in the number of deaths, with a predilection for elderly men; reduction in the number of births evaluated by the civil registry and an increase in NICUs in the last decade. This ratio was 2.6 beds per thousand births in 2010, rising to 2.9 per thousand in 2019 and reaching 3.4 beds per thousand births in 2020. Thus, the forced increase in the number of beds in the therapy unit The intensive care unit approached the proportion recommended by the Brazilian Society of Pediatrics, which is 4 beds for every thousand births.

Latar belakang. Penyakit Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) merupakan penyakit yang pertama kali dilaporkan di Wuhan, China dan telah menyebar ke seluruh dunia. Data ibu hamil dan bayi baru lahir belum banyak dipublikasikan.Tujuan. Untuk mendeskripsikan gambaran dan karakteristik klinis neonatus yang lahir dari ibu dengan infeksi severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) perinatal.Metode. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian retrospektif yang dilaksanakan di ruang perawatan neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) Rumah Sakit Umum Daerah Dr.Soetomo Surabaya pada tanggal April - Oktober 2020. Populasi adalah neonatus yang lahir dari ibu terkonfimasi COVID-19 di di Rumah Sakit Dr. Soetomo Surabaya. Data diperoleh dari rekam medik.Hasil. Total terdapat 109 ibu dengan hasil pemeriksaan positif reverse transcription - polymerase chain reaction (RT PCR) COVID-19, dan hanya 2 bayi dengan hasil RT-PCR COVID-19 positif. Usia rata-rata ibu hamil 28±5,9 tahun. Duapuluh sembilan bayi (26,61%) lahir kurang bulan. Cara persalinan didominasi oleh sectio caesaria sebanyak 64 ibu hamil (58,72%). Terdapat 23 bayi (21,11%) lahir dengan berat badan lahir <2500 gram dan 3 bayi dengan hasil negatif RT-PCR COVID-19 meninggal.Kesimpulan. Saat ini belum terbukti adanya penularan secara vertikal COVID 19, sementara itu transmisi horizontal diperkirakan sebagai sumber infeksi pada neonatus. Penerapan protokol kesehatan terbukti efektif mencegah infeksi terhadap neonatus.

Purpose Feeding challenges are common for infants in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). While sufficient oral feeding is typically a goal during NICU admission, this can be a long and complicated process for both the infant and the family. Many of the stressors related to feeding persist long after hospital discharge, which results in the parents taking the primary role of navigating the infant's course to ensure continued feeding success. This is in addition to dealing with the psychological impact of having a child requiring increased medical attention and the need to continue to fulfill the demands at home. In this clinical focus article, we examine 3 main areas that impact psychosocial stress among parents with infants in the NICU and following discharge: parenting, feeding, and supports. Implications for speech-language pathologists working with these infants and their families are discussed. A case example is also included to describe the treatment course of an infant and her parents in the NICU and after graduation to demonstrate these points further. Conclusion Speech-language pathologists working with infants in the NICU and following hospital discharge must realize the family context and psychosocial considerations that impact feeding progression. Understanding these factors may improve parental engagement to more effectively tailor treatment approaches to meet the needs of the child and family.
