    Improvement of survival in infants with congenital diaphragmatic hernia in recent years: effect of ECMO availability and associated factors
    (2010) Kattan, Javier; Godoy, Loreto; Zavala, Alejandro; Faunes, Miriam; Becker, Pedro; Estay, Alberto; Fabres, Jorge; Toso, Paulina; Urzua, Soledad; Becker, Jorge; Cerda, Jaime; Gonzalez, Alvaro
    Survival of patients with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) depends both on non-modifiable congenital conditions and on modifiable pre and postnatal management. ECMO improves survival up to 80% in neonates with CDH in the best ECMO centers worldwide. The first Neonatal ECMO Program in Chile was started in our University in 2003. Our objective is to determine the impact of a Neonatal ECMO Program in a level III NICU on newborns with CDH.

    OBJECTIVE: To determine whether CS delivery and receipt of antenatal steroids (ANS) in vertex-presenting singletons with a gestational age (GA) between 24 and 30 weeks is associated with improved survival and improved severe intraventricular hemorrhage (sIVH)-free survival.

    Randomized Trial of Early Bubble Continuous Positive Airway Pressure for Very Low Birth Weight Infants
    (MOSBY-ELSEVIER, 2012) Tapia, Jose L.; Urzua, Soledad; Bancalari, Aldo; Meritano, Javier; Torres, Gabriela; Fabres, Jorge; Toro, Claudia A.; Rivera, Fabiola; Cespedes, Elizabeth; Burgos, Jaime F.; Mariani, Gonzalo; Roldan, Liliana; Silvera, Fernando; Gonzalez, Agustina; Dominguez, Angelica; S Amer Neocosur Network
    Objective To determine whether very low birth weight infants (VLBWIs), initially supported with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and then selectively treated with the INSURE (intubation, surfactant, and extubation to CPAP; CPAP/INSURE) protocol, need less mechanical ventilation than those supported with supplemental oxygen, surfactant, and mechanical ventilation if required (Oxygen/mechanical ventilation [MV]).

    Strategies to reduce infections and antibiotic use and its effects in a neonatal care unit
    (SOC CHILENA INFECTOLOGIA, 2017) Urzua, Soledad; Ferres, Marcela; Garcia, Patricia; Sanchez, Amparo; Luco, Matias
    Introduction: Late onset sepsis (LOS) remains an important cause of morbidity and mortality in neonatal intensive care units (NICU). The empirical use of vancomycin and other broad spectrum antibiotics is very frequent and is associated with the emergence of resistant agents, infection by gram-negative bacilli (GNB), fungal infections and increased morbidity and mortality. Objective: To evaluate the impact of 5 intervention protocols designed to reduce infections and promote the rational use of antibiotics (AB) in a single NICU. Patients and Method: Retrospective analysis included all hospitalized patients before (year 2012) and after interventions (August 2013 through July 2014). All episodes of positive cultures (blood, urine, tracheal and spinal fluid) were considered as late onset infections. Results: After intervention, a significant decrease of late onset infections was observed from 14.3 to 8.5 per 1,000 live births (p < 0.01); with a decrease in LOS from 5.7 to 2.9 per 1,000 live births, although no significant. There was a decrease in vancomycin and 3rd generation cephalosporin use without Candida spp infections in the intervention period. Mortality rates and length of hospital stay were similar in both study periods. Conclusion: After interventions, there was an important reduction in overall late onset infections and AB related costs.
