Abstrakt: | Objectives: To evaluate whether kangaroo mother care (KMC) in preterm infants on non-invasive respiratory support improves indices of cardiorespiratory wellbeing. Study Design: Prospective quasi-experimental observational study. Setting: Tertiary perinatal neonatal unit. Patients: 50 very preterm infants being managed with nasal continuous positive airway pressure. Interventions: Continuous high-resolution preductal pulse-oximetry recordings using Masimo Radical-7 oximeter for 1 hour (incubator care) followed by 1 hour during KMC performed on the same day. Main Outcome Measures: Measures of cardiorespiratory stability (dips in oxygen saturations (SpO Results: The gestational age and birth weight of the cohort were 28.4±2.1 weeks and 1137±301 g, respectively. Dips in SpO Conclusions: KMC improves cardiorespiratory stability in ventilated preterm infants. Regular KMC has the potential to improve clinical outcomes in this vulnerable cohort.
