Abstract

Objective: To determine the effects of sunflower seed oil and coconut oil on the skin integrity and weight gain of preterm infants in the neonatal ICU.

Methods: In this randomized controlled trial, 66 preterm neonates (34-37 weeks' gestation) in the neonatal ICU of a training and research hospital were equally divided into three groups: sunflower seed oil, coconut oil, and control. The weights of neonates in all three groups were measured at admission to the neonatal ICU, at discharge, and at 1 month postdischarge. Their skin conditions were evaluated using the Neonatal Skin Condition Score and the Revised Northampton Neonatal Skin Assessment Tool at the same three time points.

Results: At 1 month postdischarge, neonates in the sunflower seed oil and coconut oil groups weighed significantly more than those in the control group (P = .004). Mean Neonatal Skin Condition Score scores were significantly higher in the control group at 1 month postdischarge than in the sunflower seed oil and coconut oil groups (P = .000).

Conclusions: Skin care with coconut oil and sunflower seed oil was effective in maintaining the skin integrity and weight of neonates at 1 month postdischarge. The authors recommend that randomized controlled trials on skin care in preterm infants using sunflower, coconut, and other oils be conducted with larger sample sizes.

椰子油和葵花籽油改善新生儿ICU婴儿皮肤完整性和体重增加的比较。

目的：探讨葵花籽油和椰子油对新生儿ICU早产儿皮肤完整性和体重增加的影响。方法：对某培训科研医院新生儿重症监护室66例（34 ~ 37周）早产儿进行随机对照试验，随机分为葵花籽油组、椰子油组和对照组。所有三组新生儿的体重在新生儿ICU入院时、出院时和出院后1个月测量。使用新生儿皮肤状况评分和修订的北安普顿新生儿皮肤评估工具在相同的三个时间点对他们的皮肤状况进行评估。结果：出院后1个月，葵花籽油组和椰子油组新生儿体重显著高于对照组（P = 0.004）。对照组在出院后1个月新生儿皮肤状况评分的平均值显著高于葵花籽油组和椰子油组（P = 0.000）。结论：椰子油和葵花籽油的皮肤护理对新生儿出院后1个月的皮肤完整性和体重维持有效。作者建议使用葵花籽油、椰子油和其他油进行早产儿皮肤护理的随机对照试验，样本量要更大。
