Peripheral Nerve Disorders in the Neonate
The diagnosis of peripheral nerve disorders in the neonate is challenging because of a wide range of conditions that can present with similar clinical features. The neonate with peripheral nerve disorders typically manifests generalized hypotonia with or without respiratory insufficiency. Diseases with lesions at various levels of the central or peripheral nervous system, as well as myriad systemic conditions, can all present with the same clinical features at birth. Neurophysiologic testing, appropriate genetic evaluation including detailed family history, cerebrospinal fluid analysis, and most importantly, careful neurol...

Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia: Maximizing Survival
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia occurs when a portion of the fetal diaphragm is absent, allowing abdominal contents to enter the thorax, and is associated with impaired pulmonary development. Although overall mortality is near 30%, a mortality rate less than 15% may be possible by following a standardized multidisciplinary care plan. Fetal diagnosis and evaluation can improve coordination of care, but there is no clear role for fetal intervention. After birth, gentle ventilation with permissive hypercapnia supports the infant while minimizing lung injury. Appropriate cardiovascular support, treatment of pulmonary hypertens...

The Single-Family Room Neonatal Intensive Care Environment
No randomized, blind, controlled trials have been conducted of single-family room (SFR) and open bay (OPBY) neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) designs. Many comparative studies have failed to demonstrate ill effects related to the SFR NICU. Cumulative data indicate that the single room environment is safe and effective in providing care. It is important to emphasize that care in the SFR NICU should be enhanced with appropriate developmental and family-centered care. (Source: NeoReviews recent issues)

Iron Homeostasis in Pregnancy, the Fetus, and the Neonate
The master iron regulator, hepcidin, controls maternal-fetal iron metabolism. In the last trimester, fetal liver hepcidin normally signals to the mother to increase maternal iron absorption sixfold to meet needs for fetal growth. Eighty percent of this placental-fetal iron transfer occurs during the last trimester, and preterm infants, without benefit of the third trimester of gestation, have poorer fetal iron endowment. Fifty percent of the iron needed for postnatal infant growth exists at normal term birth, but maternal conditions such as diabetes, obesity, or placental dysfunction can disrupt iron supply, while postnata...

Bleeding Problems in Extremely Low Birth Weight Neonates: Quick (and Wintrobe) Thinking Needed
Bleeding complications occur all too commonly among extremely low birth weight (ELBW) neonates. Although sometimes the bleeding is minimal and transient, some hemorrhages are life-altering or life-ending events. Compared with term neonates, ELBW neonates typically have lower platelet counts, reduced platelet function (when measured with in vitro testing), and prolonged coagulation times. These laboratory findings have led to attempts to "correct" the "immature" hemostatic systems of ELBW neonates by prophylactically transfusing adult donor platelets and/or adult plasma to nonbleeding neonates in the hope of reducing their ...
