Introduction: Respiratory distress is one of the commonest problem seen in neonates during admission in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Hyaline Membrane disease, Meconium Aspiration Syndrome, septicemia, congenital pneumonia, Transient Tachypnea of Newborn are the major causes of respiratory distress in neonates. Bubble Continuous Positive Airway Pressure is a non-invasive respiratory support delivered to a spontaneously breathing newborn to maintain lung volume during expiration. The main objective of this study was to observe the outcome of respiratory distress in neonates with Bubble Continuous Positive Airway Pressure. Methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted at Kathmandu Medical College Teaching Hospital over six months (October 2018 – March 2019) period. All preterm, term and post term babies with respiratory distress were included. Ethical clearance was received from Institutional Review Committee of Kathmandu Medical College and statistical analysis was done with SPSS 19 version. Results: Sixty three babies with respiratory distress were included in this study with 45 (71%) male predominance. The mean birth weight receiving Bubble Continuous Positive Airway Pressure was 2661.75±84 gms and gestational age was 36.67±3.4 wks. The Bubble Continuous Positive Airway Pressure was started at 8.05±2 hr of life and duration of Bubble Continuous Positive Airway Pressure required for settling respiratory distress was 95.71±3 hrs. Out of 63 babies, improvement of respiratory distress in neonates with Bubble Continuous Positive Airway Pressure was 39 (61%) with confidence interval of (38-62) whereas 24 (39%) babies required mechanical ventilation and other modalities. Conclusions: This study concludes usefulness of Bubble Continuous Positive Airway Pressure in neonates with respiratory distress.

Background. Jaundice in the neonate is one of the most common clinical problems. Globally, every year about 1.1 million babies develop it and the vast majority reside in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. Study on magnitude and local factors associated with neonatal jaundice is limited in Ethiopia. So this study was aimed at assessing magnitude and predictors of neonatal jaundice among neonates admitted to neonatal intensive care unit of public hospitals in Mekelle city, Northern Ethiopia. Methods. Institution based cross-sectional study was conducted from February to April 2016 in neonatal intensive care unit of Mekelle city public hospitals. Systematic random sampling technique was used to select study participants. Data was collected by interviewing mothers through structured questionnaire and reviewing neonates’ medical records using checklist. Multivariable binary logistic regression analyses were employed to identify factors associated with neonatal jaundice. Results. A total of 209 neonates with their mothers were included. The proportion of neonatal jaundice was found to be 37.3%. Prolonged labor [AOR = 4.39; 95% CI (1.8-10.69)], being male [AOR = 3.7; 95% CI (1.54-8.87)], maternal “O” blood group [AOR = 5.05; 95% CI (1.53-16.72)], sepsis [AOR = 2.64; 95% CI (1.15-6.05)], and blood type incompatibility [AOR = 18.21; 95% CI (6.36-52.13)] were positively associated with neonatal jaundice while night time delivery [AOR 0.42; 95% CI (0.18-0.96)] showed negative association. Conclusion. The magnitude of neonatal jaundice among neonates was found to be high. Duration of labor, time of delivery, sexes of neonate, sepsis, maternal blood group, and blood type incompatibility were significantly associated with neonatal jaundice. Therefore, improving newborn care and timely intervention for neonates with ABO/Rh incompatibility are recommended.

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is defined as an acute deterioration in ability of the kidneys to maintain homeostasis of body fluids and electrolytes leading to retention of wasted and toxic metabolic end products. It is fairly common in newborn population and is a major contributor of neonatal mortality and morbidity. The aim was to study the incidence of renal failure in high risk neonates and risk factors for renal failure.Methods: A prospective observational study was done to evaluate renal profile in high risk neonates admitted to neonatal intensive care unit, GMERS Medical College and General Hospital, Gotri, Vadodara, Gujarat, India over a 1-year period. nRifle criteria was used for classification of acute kidney injury.Results: The incidence of AKI in high risk newborns admitted in this study was 52 (37.14%). The male to female ratio in current study was 2.46:1. Majority of neonates with AKI were out born 44 (84.6%). The incidence of AKI was higher in term newborns. Mean weight in AKI group was 2048 grams. The highest incidence of AKI was found in AFD newborns (57.69%). nRifle criteria was used to diagnose AKI in this study. Out of 52 neonates who had AKI, 27 (51.9%) were in risk category, 21 (40.4%) were in injury group and 4 (7.7%) were in failure group. Mortality in these groups were 5 (18.51%), 7 (33.33%) and 3 (75%) respectively. Highest correlation of risk factors for AKI was found with birth asphyxia 18 (34.9%) followed by sepsis 12 (23.1%) and shock 15 (28.5%). 29 (55.76%) neonates had non oliguric AKI. 28 (53.8%) neonates with AKI developed dyselectrolytemia.Conclusions: Early recognition and management of risk factors can help in reducing the occurrence and improve outcomes in them.
