Neonatal-perinatal medicine
• A niche of its own
• Bridges obstetrics with paediatrics and intensive care with primary care
![Page 20: By Dato’ Dr Lim Nyok Ling Hospital Selayang Kuala Lumpur.](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022061500/56649d255503460f949fc511/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Stories of the Past
• The first neonatologist was a midwife• Midwife-in-Chief of Port Royal
Maternity Paris (1881-1895)• Mission to experiment and develop
the care of prematures in incubators• 6 incubators were set in use
attended by 5 wet nurses, this increased to 14 incubators by 1893
![Page 21: By Dato’ Dr Lim Nyok Ling Hospital Selayang Kuala Lumpur.](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022061500/56649d255503460f949fc511/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Census of first PBU (18 months from 1893-
1895)• 721 infants treated (90% breastfed)• 357 (49.5%) died, 24 not viable• Smallest infant was 780gm at 5.5 months gestation.
Survived 113 days• 74 (10%) artificial feeding ie diluted sterilised cow’s
milk (41% died of enteritis)• Mrs Henry indicated that artificial feeding was
particularly dangerous during the first two months• She worked closely with hospital pharmacists and
gave an accurate composition of artificial formulas

Professor Pierre Budin (1846-1907) and modern perinatal care (Arch Dis Child 1995; 73(3) 193F-5F
•Succeeded Tarnier in 1898 as Professor of Obstetrics at University of Paris
•An outstanding doctor, scientist and teacher
•Many contributions to perinatal medicine
•Recognised need to educate mother and colleagues in infant care from birth to weaning
Thought only of science, of doing good, and of friendshipAlways courteous and loyal
Made an Officer of the Legion d’honneur
![Page 24: By Dato’ Dr Lim Nyok Ling Hospital Selayang Kuala Lumpur.](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022061500/56649d255503460f949fc511/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
• Created first baby clinic in Paris in 1892 to provide ongoing supervision of health care
• Attention given to warmth, cleanliness and provision of safe milk
• Achieved a remarkable fall in mortality and similar clinics set up elsewhere including England
![Page 25: By Dato’ Dr Lim Nyok Ling Hospital Selayang Kuala Lumpur.](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022061500/56649d255503460f949fc511/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Essentials of Neonatal care. The Nursling
• Responsibilities of the accoucheur…. takes every precaution that the child will be born sound and viable, and throughout the first two years of life, directs its feeding with utmost care
• Gestational age and weight at birth…. Everything ought to be done to ensure that an infant be born at a term, well-developed and in a healthy condition. But…. Infants are born prematurely…in addition there are tiny, puny infants with great vitality
![Page 26: By Dato’ Dr Lim Nyok Ling Hospital Selayang Kuala Lumpur.](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022061500/56649d255503460f949fc511/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The use of incubators
• 1880 : Tarnier installed the first incubator at the Maternite. Apparatus similar to that of artificial hatching of eggs (child hatchery)
• Ought weaklings in incubators be clothed or not? … preferable ..at least to clothe them lightly, so as to conserve their warmth and yet leave them absolute freedom
• …better to put by mother’s bedside…monitors temperature of incubator and suckles baby
![Page 27: By Dato’ Dr Lim Nyok Ling Hospital Selayang Kuala Lumpur.](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022061500/56649d255503460f949fc511/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Hypothermia and cyanotic attacks
• Mortality among prematures appalling if temperature is depressed
• Temperature must be maintained at all times and may be done by use of incubators, hot baths and other means
• We must provide it fuel by giving it food
• Higher risk of cyanotic attacks in those underfed
• Recommended feeding from spoon or gavage if not strong enough to suck
![Page 28: By Dato’ Dr Lim Nyok Ling Hospital Selayang Kuala Lumpur.](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022061500/56649d255503460f949fc511/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Wet nurses and hygiene
Recognised the predisposition ofprematures to infection and • prohibited infants of wet-nurses from being taken
into dressing-room for weaklings and
• obliged every wet-nurse to wash her face and hands and change her uniform each time she feeds the weaklings
• Separate dressing room from lavatory for wet-nurses
![Page 29: By Dato’ Dr Lim Nyok Ling Hospital Selayang Kuala Lumpur.](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022061500/56649d255503460f949fc511/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Sterilisation of milk• Bacteria develop in milk with extreme
facility…Diarrhoeas are caused by microbes… Cold does not destroy organisms
• Heat is bactericidal… applied by pasteurisation and sterilisation
• Any milk remaining in a bottle after a feed ought not to be offered again….organisms of mouth.. Enters bottle… rapidly multiply… produce alterations in milk
![Page 31: By Dato’ Dr Lim Nyok Ling Hospital Selayang Kuala Lumpur.](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022061500/56649d255503460f949fc511/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Mother-child bonding and breastfeeding
• First save the infant• Second save it in such a way that when it
leaves the hospital it does so with a mother able to suckle it
• So when a weakling has to be fed by a wet-nurse I place a vigorous infant at the mother’s breast. Her lacteal secretion is thus established. Soon she can nurse her own one and will continue to suckle it on leaving the Clinique
![Page 32: By Dato’ Dr Lim Nyok Ling Hospital Selayang Kuala Lumpur.](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022061500/56649d255503460f949fc511/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Prognosis of premature infants
• It has been alleged that they remain puny and weakly all their lives,many have Little’s disaese, and they have feeble intellectual development… but this is not so
• Encountered only one case of Little’s disease out of 1100 admissions and a girl of BW 950 gm who at 7 years of age spoke French and German
• Allegations of permanent bodily and mental debility of weaklings…. Are entirely without foundation
![Page 33: By Dato’ Dr Lim Nyok Ling Hospital Selayang Kuala Lumpur.](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022061500/56649d255503460f949fc511/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Prematurity as a public health problem
Am J Public Health 1996;86(6): 870-8
In United States• Before WW1 besides medicine, other
interests including philantropy, labour and women’s organisations were mobilised against infant mortality
• In 1920s : Premature infant campaign was led and dominated by physicians
![Page 34: By Dato’ Dr Lim Nyok Ling Hospital Selayang Kuala Lumpur.](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022061500/56649d255503460f949fc511/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Prematurity as a public health problem
Am J Public Health 1996;86(6): 870-8
• Temperature and Chilling
• Warm air incubators first used in US in 1890
• Feeding : advocated breastmilk
• Disease : infected isolated from well babies and protected in incubators

Specialisation
• Until at least 1920s : Physicians attending the birth took care of the newborn
• Paediatricians did not treat NB during the 1930s and 1940s in many hospitals
![Page 36: By Dato’ Dr Lim Nyok Ling Hospital Selayang Kuala Lumpur.](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022061500/56649d255503460f949fc511/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
No-man’s land• Newborn care wrote a critic in 1930s ‘occupies
a no-man’s land’ in the field of medicine and ignored to a large extent by both the obstetrician and paediatrician
• The emergence of the premature nursery, directed by a paediatrician and staffed by paediatric residents and interns represented an important milestone in the separation of obstetrics from neonatal care
![Page 37: By Dato’ Dr Lim Nyok Ling Hospital Selayang Kuala Lumpur.](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022061500/56649d255503460f949fc511/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Increasing line of responsibility for
paediatricians• Late 40s-50s : Treatment of neonates
outside the delivery room
• 50s : Entry of paediatricians into delivery rooms for high-risk deliveries
• 60s : Paediatricians increasingly called to resuscitate newborn babies
![Page 38: By Dato’ Dr Lim Nyok Ling Hospital Selayang Kuala Lumpur.](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022061500/56649d255503460f949fc511/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

New York and Chicago citywide plan
• Established quality standards of hospital care for prematures
• Designated centres which qualify to provide service
• Hospitals which could not meet the standards for a adequate and continued care should with the help of the Health Department transfer infants to approved hospitals

Neonatal Intensive Care
• Neonatal ventilation started in the late 70s in some hospitals as part of general ICU care
• NICUs set up in big hospitals in stages from early 1980s
• Expertise, equipment and facilities gradually improved
![Page 55: By Dato’ Dr Lim Nyok Ling Hospital Selayang Kuala Lumpur.](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022061500/56649d255503460f949fc511/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
• NICUs in practically all hospitals with paediatricians
• Level III intensive (ventilated) beds number 4-8 in each government hospital

![Page 57: By Dato’ Dr Lim Nyok Ling Hospital Selayang Kuala Lumpur.](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022061500/56649d255503460f949fc511/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
• Subspecialty training in neonatology being formalised
• Accreditation of facilities for level of neonatal care also being looked into
• Intensive neonatal care is available in
some private hospitals but cost is high, and parents are mostly self-financing

History of breastfeeding and the medical profession
(Lancet 1999; 354: 77-78)
Factors influencing BF pattern
• Occupational and financial
• Religious, cosmetic, superstitious
• Medical influence not predominant one
• BF has had 2 rivals : substitution of mother and substitution of milk
![Page 74: By Dato’ Dr Lim Nyok Ling Hospital Selayang Kuala Lumpur.](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022061500/56649d255503460f949fc511/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
Substitution of mother
• Authorities such as Soranus, Galen and Oribasius in the 2nd-4th century AD taught on how to select the prudent wet nurse, the appropriate breast and milk and how to feed
• Physicians at that time had accepted wet nursing but it is questionable to what extent they had promoted it
![Page 75: By Dato’ Dr Lim Nyok Ling Hospital Selayang Kuala Lumpur.](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022061500/56649d255503460f949fc511/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
Substitution of milk• Industrial Revolution hit BF even harder
by combining the mass employment of women and the production of increasingly sophisticated substitutes of human milk
• Physicians energetically involved in this new fashion and manipulated the composition of formulas, explored mammals milk etc.. But they seem rather to have followed than created this deviation
![Page 76: By Dato’ Dr Lim Nyok Ling Hospital Selayang Kuala Lumpur.](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022061500/56649d255503460f949fc511/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)

• Launched in 1993 and 1st BFHI hospital in 1995
• All hospitals in the Ministry of Health have been declared Baby Friendly (ie achieved BFHI status) in 1997
• Presently 113/115 accredited (2 new hospitals)
• Reassessment programme launched in 1998• 60/73 reassessed passed
Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI)

NICU visiting policies and parental involvement
• Good communication between parents and staff of paramount importance
• Parents need a great deal of support• Differing practices: Northern Europe
more inclined to involve parents in decision making and allow free visiting time; S Europe more inclined to restrict visiting hours and often make decisions for parents

In Malaysia...• Prior to 1958 : Children separated from
mothers in hospitals.
• ‘The first thing that I did…. was to allow mothers to accompany their sick babies in the wards…. The principal matron once marched in and said that I had reduced nursing to nothing and she would be withdrawing her nurses…. She never visited the wards again.

Perinatal management at lower margin of viability
(Arch Dis Child 1996;74:F214-8)
Generally accepted : Intact survival >50% beyond 27weeks and only minimally at 22 weeks
Suggested guideline• immediate management of threatened delivery at
23-26 weeks : transfer, antenatal steroids, tocolysis and intrapartum Abs
• prenatal counselling for parents with up-to-date information (tables and charts)
• management at delivery -senior paediatrician available and plan of action outlined to parents
• ? Full CPR

• Reasonable not to offer to resuscitate 23-24 weekers (to execute plan if parents agree and infant is born in poor condition)
• Discourage to seek active treatment for 22 weeks
• Encourage at 25-26 weeks• Be prepared to withdraw if severe disability
becomes >90%• CPR may be inappropriate for VLBW infants

Meadow et al addresses
Who should have the decisive say in the Mx of critically ill
neonatesWhen a dispute arises between parents andcare-givers?
• recognise predictive accuracy of ‘physician intuition’ about neurologic morbidity …
• Although ‘life and death’ decisions will always be difficult, practice of maximising parental decision-making and providing data and clinical intuition of care providers at multiple points throughout on which to base those decisions...

Prevention strategies at hospital level
• Education• Antenatal diagnosis• Diagnosis and early treatment of
abnormalities and rehabilitation
• Genetic counselling• Collaboration with primary care doctors
![Page 104: By Dato’ Dr Lim Nyok Ling Hospital Selayang Kuala Lumpur.](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022061500/56649d255503460f949fc511/html5/thumbnails/104.jpg)
Metabolic and genetic services
• Clinical services available in Paediatric Institute, UM and USM support from IMR, LPPKN and other laboratories
• Diagnoses presently possible for many disorders including
• Townsend Brooke Syndrome• Extended William syndrome• Frasier’s syndrome• Alpha glutaric acidaemia
![Page 105: By Dato’ Dr Lim Nyok Ling Hospital Selayang Kuala Lumpur.](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022061500/56649d255503460f949fc511/html5/thumbnails/105.jpg)
Definition of asphyxia• Asphyxia defined experimentally as impaired gas
exchange accompanied by the development of metabolic acidosis
• Fetal asphyxia is progressive hypoxaemia and hypercapnia with a significant metabolic acidaemia
• Timing of the onset and progression of these changes can be difficult or impossible to ascertain
![Page 106: By Dato’ Dr Lim Nyok Ling Hospital Selayang Kuala Lumpur.](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022061500/56649d255503460f949fc511/html5/thumbnails/106.jpg)
Neonatal encephalopathy• Neonatal encephalopathy is a clinically defined
syndrome of disturbed neurological function in the infant at or near term during the first week after birth manifested by difficulty with initiating and maintaining respiration, depression of tone and reflexes, altered consciousness,and often seizures
• Hypoxia and ischaemia have often not been proved
• Over 75% of cases have no intrapartum hypoxia
![Page 107: By Dato’ Dr Lim Nyok Ling Hospital Selayang Kuala Lumpur.](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022061500/56649d255503460f949fc511/html5/thumbnails/107.jpg)
Are these conditions preventable?
• Were there risk factors for an antenatal cause?
• Was there a sentinel hypoxic event?
• Was there an intervention that could reduce the occurrence of the event?
• Could the signs of fetal compromise reasonably have been detected?
• Was there an avoidable major delay in expediting delivery?
• Was there suboptimal care at any phase of pregnancy and delivery and neonatal care

Neonatal Infections
• Infections are a major cause of
morbidity and mortality in the
Neonatal Intensive care Unit (NICU)
• Widespread use of antibiotics have
been associated with increasing
problems of resistant microorganisms

Prevention of nosocomial sepsis
Strategies to reduce incidence:
• handwashing• use of universal precautions• avoiding overcrowding• promoting enteral nutrition• removal of venous lines
Approximately 20% of VLBW infants have an infectious episode before hospital discharge
![Page 115: By Dato’ Dr Lim Nyok Ling Hospital Selayang Kuala Lumpur.](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022061500/56649d255503460f949fc511/html5/thumbnails/115.jpg)
Discharge Planning AAP proposed guidelines
Pediatrics 1998;102:411-17
6 critical components• parental education
• implementation of primary care
• evaluation of unresolved medical problems
• development of a home care plan
• identification and mobilisation of surveillance and support services
• determination and designation of follow-up
![Page 116: By Dato’ Dr Lim Nyok Ling Hospital Selayang Kuala Lumpur.](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022061500/56649d255503460f949fc511/html5/thumbnails/116.jpg)
• Home nursing and community support

ongoing
• National Neonatal Registry being piloted
• Generally very little basic science or even clinical research being done
![Page 119: By Dato’ Dr Lim Nyok Ling Hospital Selayang Kuala Lumpur.](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022061500/56649d255503460f949fc511/html5/thumbnails/119.jpg)
• Prevention and Mx of prematurity (PPROM, hormone deficient states, developmental care)
• Prevention and management of chronic lung disease
• Prevention and treatment of ROP
• Understanding and prevention of NEC
• Understanding and management of neonatal encephalopthy and asphyxia
Awaiting new developments

Vagaries in practiceLessons from the past
• Oxygen therapy blinded 10000 worldwide before the 1950s
• Prophylactic penicillin + sulfisozole associated with kernicterus
• Withholding all food or fluid from premature infants up to 4 days, a practice that persisted from the early 50s till 60s increased the possibility of spastic diplegia and lowered neonatal survival
![Page 121: By Dato’ Dr Lim Nyok Ling Hospital Selayang Kuala Lumpur.](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022061500/56649d255503460f949fc511/html5/thumbnails/121.jpg)
