The Use of Ultrasonography for Verifying Gastric Tube Placement in Newborns

Video Author: Elenice Valentim Carmona, Flávia de Souza Barbosa Dias
Published on: 10.16.2018

The use of gastric tubes in newborns admitted to a neonatal intensive care unit is fairly high, and there is risk of serious complications related to this procedure. This video abstract provides an overview of our research, which aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography for verifying gastric tube placement in newborns. This method does not envolve exposure to radiation.

Brief Overview of "Mesenteric Oxygenation Changes Associated with Necrotizing Enterocolitis after Multiple Blood Transfusions: A Case Report”
Creator: Terri Marin, PhD, NNP-BC, FAANP
Duration: 3:40
This video abstract provides an overview of our case report which describes events surround an extremely low birthweight infant who developed pneumoperitoneum after receiving two full-volume red blood cell transfusions. Specifically, we outline the raw mesenteric oxygenation patterns measured by near-infrared spectroscopy technology, and how these values provided physiologic information of intestinal hypoperfusion that routine physiologic data did not capture.

A Quality Improvement Initiative to Increase Scoring Consistency and Accuracy of the Finnegan Tool
Creator: Elisabeth Bloch-Salisbury and Cheryl Killoran
Duration: 7:22
Overview of a quality improvement project conducted at UMass Memorial, Worcester MA, to simplify the Finnegan scoring tool for neonatal nurses charged with assessing withdrawal in newborn infants exposed to opioids during pregnancy. Training program that incorporated education, a restructured Finnegan Scoring Tool and a Bedside Guidance Tool resulted in improved consistency of withdrawal scores among 179 neonatal nurses. Despite improvement, more objective and simplified scoring tools are still warranted.

Creator: Jennifer Canvasser, MSW
NEC Society
Duration: 2:21
Jennifer Canvasser, founder and director of the NEC Society, discusses the critical importance of communication with parents of babies impacted by necrotizing enterocolitis. Jennifer’s son Micah died of complications related to necrotizing enterocolitis a month before his first birthday. The patient-family advocates within the NEC Society have emphasized that they were desperate for more information during their child’s hospitalization. Parents want to be part of their child’s care team, but they are reliant upon the providers to inform, engage and empower them to take on this active role.
