“…The common causes of RDS include prematurity, neonatal pneumonia, transient tachypnea of neonates, cesarean section delivery, meconium aspiration syndrome and gestational diabetes (Reuter et al, 2014). The sign of RDS appear few hours after birth which are characterized by tachypnea (> 60 breath\m), intercostal and subcostal retractions, nasal flaring, grunting, apnea and cyanosis (Pathrudu, 2015, Sorte, 2018.…”

Background: Respiratory distress syndrome in neonates is life threatening and results in death from severe respiratory failure. Positioning neonates in a good body alignment is essential to improve oxygenation and reduce the need for supplemental oxygen and mechanical ventilation. Aim of the study: The current study aimed to determine the effect of lateral positions versus prone position on cardiorespiratory parameters among preterm neonates with respiratory distress syndrome. Research design: A cross-over experimental research design was utilized for this study. Setting: The study was conducted at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Alexandria University Children's Hospital at Smouha, Egypt. Subjects: purposive sample of 30 preterm neonates were selected to perform the current study. Tools: Two tools were used for data collection, Tool I: Characteristics and cardiorespiratory parameters of preterm neonates' assessment tool, Tool II: Complication detection record. Results: The values of heart rate, respiratory rate and oxygen saturation improved significantly among preterm neonates in prone position than in the lateral positions after one and two hours. Respiratory distress signs were significantly lower in prone position than in lateral positions after one and two hours. There was no statistical significant difference between the three positions at zero minute, one hour and two hours regarding complications among preterm neonates. Conclusion:The study concluded that cardiorespiratory parameters and respiratory distress signs have improved in prone position more than in lateral positions. Recommendations: Prone position under nurses' supervision is recommended to be used in the routine care of preterm neonates with respiratory distress syndrome and educational programs should be conducted to nurses working at Neonatal Intensive Care Units regarding the benefits and importance of positioning of preterm neonates.

“…Neonatology is one area where automated microfluidic devices may be particularly effective. Preterm newborns may have as little as 50 mL of total blood volume and are at an elevated risk for a number of health conditions including hypoglycemia [ 6 ], infections [ 7 ] and jaundice [ 8 , 9 ]. To improve health outcomes, preterm infants must be carefully monitored and screened for these conditions by measuring biomarkers in the blood.…”

A Compact Control System to Enable Automated Operation of Microfluidic Bioanalytical Assays

We describe a control system for operating valve-enabled microfluidic devices and leverage this control system to carry out a complex workflow of plasma separation from 8 μL of whole blood followed by on-chip mixing of plasma with assay reagents for biomarker detection. The control system incorporates pumps, digital pressure sensors, a microcontroller, solenoid valves and off-the-shelf components to deliver high and low air pressure in the desired temporal sequence to meter fluid flow and actuate microvalves. Importantly, our control system is portable, which is suitable for operating the microvalve-enabled microfluidic devices in the point-of-care setting.
