Efectividad de la acupuntura en la hipogalactia y en la inflamación mamaria. Revisión bibliográfica
Objetivo: Determinar la efectividad de la acupuntura en el tratamiento de la hipogalactia y de la inflamación mamaria; mapear los puntos de aplicación y las técnicas utilizadas. Metodología: Revisión bibliográfica efectuada en las bases de datos PubMed, Cinahl, Cuiden, Scielo, Lilacs, Dialnet, Latindex, Cuidatge, WorldCat y Google Académico. Resultados: Se incluyeron 10 estudios; 7 observaron una mayor producción láctea o una prolongación en el tiempo de la lactancia; 2 evaluaron la efectividad de la acupuntura en la inflamación mamaria, y constataron un rápido alivio sintomático y un menor uso de antibióticos. No se ha encontrado unanimidad en la selección de la técnica y de los puntos para los diferentes tratamientos con acupuntura. Conclusión: La acupuntura parece ser efectiva para aumentar la producción láctea y mejorar los síntomas mamarios. Dada la falta de consenso en la selección de puntos y en las técnicas empleadas para los diferentes tratamientos con acupuntura, se requieren más estudios para poder generalizar estos tratamientos en la práctica clínica
Temporal trends in respiratory care and bronchopulmonary dysplasia in very preterm infants over a 10-year period in Spain
[Abstract] Objective: To evaluate trends in respiratory care practices and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) among very preterm infants born in Spain between 2010 and 2019.
Study design: This was a retrospective cohort study of data obtained from a national population-based database (SEN1500 network). Changes in respiratory care and BPD-free survival of infants with gestational age (GA) of 230-316 weeks and <1500 g were assessed over two 5-year periods. Temporal trends were examined by joinpoint and Poisson regression models and expressed as the annual per cent change and adjusted relative risk (RR) for the change per year.
Results: A total of 17 952 infants were included. In the second period, infants were less frequently intubated in the delivery room and during neonatal intensive care unit stay. This corresponded with an increase in use of non-invasive ventilation techniques. There were no significant differences between the periods in BPD-free survival or survival without moderate-to-severe BPD. After adjusting for covariates, the RR for the change per year was significant for the following variables: never intubated (RR 1.03, 95% CI 1.02 to 1.04); intubation in the delivery room (RR 0.98, 95% CI 0.97 to 0.99); use of nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (RR 1.08, 95% CI 1.05 to 1.11); and BPD-free survival (only in the group with the lowest GA; RR 0.98, 95% CI 0.97 to 0.99).
Conclusion: Our findings reveal significant changes in respiratory care practices between 2009 and 2019. Despite an increase in use of non-invasive respiratory strategies, BPD-free survival did not improve and even worsened in the group with the lowest GA (230-256)
Nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation and bronchopulmonary dysplasia among very preterm infants never intubated during the first neonatal admission: a multicenter cohort study
[Abstract] Introduction: While non-invasive positive-pressure ventilation (NIPPV) is increasingly used as a mode of respiratory support for preterm infants, it remains unclear whether this technique translates into improved respiratory outcomes. We assessed the association between NIPPV use and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD)-free survival in never intubated very preterm infants.
Methods: This multicenter cohort study analyzed data from the Spanish Neonatal Network SEN1500 corresponding to preterm infants born at <32 weeks gestational age and <1,500 g and not intubated during first admission. The exposure of interest was use of NIPPV at any time and the main study outcome was survival without moderate-to-severe BPD. Analyses were performed both by patients and by units. Primary and secondary outcomes were compared using multilevel logistic-regression models. The standardized observed-to-expected (O/E) ratio was calculated to classify units by NIPPV utilization and outcome rates were compared among groups.
Results: Of the 6,735 infants included, 1,776 (26.4%) received NIPPV during admission and 6,441 (95.6%) survived without moderate-to-severe BPD. After adjusting for confounding variables, NIPPV was not associated with survival without moderate-to-severe BPD (OR 0.84; 95%CI 0.62–1.14). A higher incidence of moderate-to-severe BPD-free survival was observed in high- vs. very low-utilization units, but no consistent association was observed between O/E ratio and either primary or secondary outcomes.
Conclusion: NIPPV use did not appear to decisively influence the incidence of survival without moderate-to-severe BPD in patients managed exclusively with non-invasive ventilation
Distinguishing outcomes of neonatal intestinal volvulus: review of our experience over the last 20 years
Aim: There are two types of intestinal volvulus: midgut (MGV) and segmental (SV). Patients with different types of intestinal volvulus are often included in the same case series, which may affect the perception of how severe "intestinal volvuli" are. We aimed to compare both types of intestinal volvulus. Methods: This is a retrospective observational study including all patients with MGV and SV up to 28 days of life admitted to a tertiary hospital in Spain over a 20-year-period (1999-2019). A comparison between groups and a logistic regression model for mortality were done. Results: We identified 32 patients: 23 MGV and 9 SV. Malrotation was exclusive of MGV. Prenatal diagnosis, cystic fibrosis, and intestinal resection were significantly more frequent in SV. Surgery was performed at a significantly lower age in SV. The mortality observed in acute MGV with intestinal compromise (41.7%) is four times higher than the mortality of SV (11.1%). The overall mortality of all MGV patients (21.7%) is almost twice that of SV. Mortality was best predicted by the presence of hemodynamic instability (OR 27.5 95% CI 2.50-302.17; p = 0.007). Conclusion: SV and MGV have a different clinical presentation. Hemodynamic instability is the major risk factor for death
Procalcitonin is a Better Biomarker than C-Reactive Protein in Newborns Undergoing Cardiac Surgery: The Prokineca Study
Objectives To assess the kinetics of procalcitonin (PCT) and C-reactive protein (CRP) in newborns after cardiothoracic surgery (CS), with and without cardiopulmonary bypass, and to assess whether PCT was better than CRP in identifying sepsis in the first 72 hours after CS. Patients and Methods This is a prospective study of newborns admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit after CS. Interventions PCT and CRP were sequentially drawn 2 hours before surgery and at 0, 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours after surgery. Results A total of 65 patients were recruited, of which 14 were excluded because of complications. We compared the kinetics of PCT and CRP after CS in bypass and non-bypass groups without sepsis; there were no differences in the PCT values at any time (24 hours, P = 0.564; 48 hours, P = 0.117; 72 hours, P = 0.076). Thirty-five patients needed bypass, of whom four were septic (11.4%). Significant differences were detected in the PCT values on comparing the septic group to the nonseptic group at 48 hours after cardiopulmonary bypass ( P= 0.018). No differences were detected in the CRP values in these groups. A suitable cutoff for sepsis diagnosis at 48 hours following bypass would be 5 ng/mL, with optimal area under the curve of 0.867 (confidence interval 0.709–0.958), P< 0.0001, and sensitivity and specificity of 87.5% (29.6–99.7) and 72.6% (53.5–86.4), respectively. Conclusions This is a preliminary study but PCT seems to be a good biomarker in newborns after CS. Values over 5 ng/mL at 48 hours after CS should alert physicians to the high risk of sepsis in these patients

Adaptación de las recomendaciones internacionales en estabilización y reanimación neonatal 2015
Grupo de Reanimación Neonatal de la Sociedad Española de Neonatología (GRN-SENeo).[EN] The International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) recommendations provide a universal guide of measures to support the transition and resuscitation of newborn after their birth. This guide is expected to be adapted by local groups or committees on resuscitation, according to their own circumstances.
The objective of this review is to analyse the main changes, to discuss several of the controversies that have appeared since 2010, and contrasting with other national and international organisations, such as European Resuscitation Council (ERC), American Heart Association (AHA), or the Australian-New Zealand Committee on Resuscitation (ANZCOR). Thus, the Neonatal Resuscitation Group of the Spanish Society of Neonatology (GRN-SENeo) aims to give clear answers to many of the questions when different options are available, generating the forthcoming recommendations of our country to support the transition and/or resuscitation of a newborn after birth, safely and effectively.[ES] Las recomendaciones internacionales del International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR), mediante una revisión exhaustiva de la evidencia disponible en el desarrollo de las medidas de soporte a la transición y de reanimación del recién nacido tras su nacimiento, aportan una guía universal a partir de la cual cada grupo o comité local puede adaptarla a su realidad e idiosincrasia, y elaborar sus propias guías o recomendaciones.
