Abstract
Objective: To measure the feasibility of early progressive mobility (EPM) in intubated infants with severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and compare neurodevelopmental skill acquisition of these infants before and after implementation of a clinical EPM program.
Study design: Single-center pre-post intervention prospective cohort study in a level IV Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) from 2019-2022. Bivariate tests compared EPM interventions and results of serial Test of Infant Motor Performance (TIMP) assessments in 32 intubated infants with severe BPD cared for during two epochs, before and after NICU-wide EPM implementation.
Results: Infants in epoch 2 experienced significantly more EPM interventions than infants in epoch 1. Infants in epoch 2 also had more advanced motor skills on the TIMP than infants in epoch 1. There were no unplanned extubations.
Conclusions: We demonstrated successful implementation of EPM in this high-risk population with evidence of beneficial impacts on early motor development.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Perinatology provides members of the perinatal/neonatal healthcare team with original information pertinent to improving maternal/fetal and neonatal care. We publish peer-reviewed clinical research articles, state-of-the art reviews, comments, quality improvement reports, and letters to the editor. Articles published in the Journal of Perinatology embrace the full scope of the specialty, including clinical, professional, political, administrative and educational aspects. The Journal also explores legal and ethical issues, neonatal technology and product development.
The Journal’s audience includes all those that participate in perinatal/neonatal care, including, but not limited to neonatologists, perinatologists, perinatal epidemiologists, pediatricians and pediatric subspecialists, surgeons, neonatal and perinatal nurses, respiratory therapists, pharmacists, social workers, dieticians, speech and hearing experts, other allied health professionals, as well as subspecialists who participate in patient care including radiologists, laboratory medicine and pathologists.
