In the present study, the effect of accidental hypothermia on common morbidity in neonates in the postnatal period was investigated. We did temperature measurements in 616 mature neonates after birth, after transfer to the maternity ward and at check-up at age of 48-72 hours of life. Additionally, nurses checked temperature until discharge at every diaper change in 302 of all included neonates who were small for gestational age (SGA) or whose mothers had green fluid or premature rupture of membranes (PROM). We investigated if there was a correlation between infection, hyperbilirubinemia, hypoglycemia, SGA, gestational diabetes, PROM, green amniotic fluid, positive GBS status of the mother, and accidental hypothermia in the first 48-72 hours of life. Mature neonates showed transient accidental hypothermia in the first 24 hours of life. No significant correlation between infection (p=0.571), hyperbilirubinemia (p=0.837), hypoglycemia (p=0.072), and accidental hypothermia could be seen. There was a significant correlation between SGA (p=0.020), PROM (p=0.008), and accidental hypothermia, while hyperthermia was associated with infection (p=0.009) and green amniotic fluid (p=0.004). SGA and PROM represent perinatal risk factors for postnatal transient accidental hypothermia in mature neonates. Increased morbidity or mortality associated with postnatal accidental hypothermia has not been demonstrated.Akzidentelle Hypothermie bei Reifgeborenen, die einer Hospitalisierung bedürfen, ist eine bisher nicht näher analysierte klinische Komplikation. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurde die Abhängigkeit einer akzidentellen Hypothermie von typischen Erkrankungen der Postnatalperiode untersucht. Wir führten bei 616 Reifgeborenen Temperaturmessungen nach Geburt, nach Verlegung auf die Wochenstation und bei der Vorsorgeuntersuchung U2 durch. Zusätzlich kontrollierten wir bei 302 der 616 Neugeborenen mit Small for gestational age (SGA), grünem Fruchtwasser oder vorzeitigem Blasensprung (PROM) die Temperatur bei jedem Windelwechsel bis zur Entlassung. Wir untersuchten, ob es einen Zusammenhang zwischen Infektion, Hyperbilirubinämie, Hypoglykämie, SGA, Gestationsdiabetes, PROM, grünem Fruchtwasser, positivem GBS-Status der Mutter und akzidenteller Auskühlung innerhalb der ersten 48-72 Lebensstunden gab.

Laboratory chemistry and sonography revealed a suspected heterotopic pregnancy. The patient was admitted for observation. The sonographic reevaluation on the next day confirmed the suspicion of extrauterine gravidity with intact intrauterine gravidity with additional decreasing hemoglobin and hematoperitoneum, so that laparoscopy was indicated. Intraoperatively, the mass on the left ovary was removed without complications. The patient could be discharged quickly postoperatively after a complication-free course and gave birth to a healthy child by spontaneous partus in the 38th week of gestation.

The COVID-19 pandemic led to restrictions in peripartum care, such as infection control measures, or restrictions regarding accompanying persons.\u0000\u0000\u0000MATERIAL AND METHODS\u0000Effects of COVID-19-related restrictions on the psyche and well-being during the peripartum period in Austria were retrospectively assessed using a partially standardized online questionnaire. In addition to closed questions on restrictions and psychological stress, this also contained the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS).\u0000\u0000\u0000RESULTS\u0000Data from 850 women who had given birth during the pandemic were included in the analysis. In 8.5% of cases, appointments were canceled during prenatal care, 10.7% had to wear a face mask during the birth. One in 10 women had to cope with the birth and one in 5 with the puerperium without a companion. Unaccompanied women were significantly less likely to feel well cared for during the birth, more likely to feel alone in the puerperium and, according to the EPDS score, were more likely (39% vs. 20%; p<0.001) to have a high probability of postpartum depression.\u0000\u0000\u0000CONCLUSIONS\u0000The pandemic-related restrictions led to anxiety, worry, loneliness and an increased risk of depression during the peripartum period.
