“…[23][24][25][26] However, studies that compare outcomes before, during and after STS have encountered a negative effect on oxygen saturation during STS that is not transient in cold environments. 27 A 43% (not statistically significant) lower infant mortality has been observed with traditional KMC in Columbia. 28 Lower 24 h mortality 29 and mortality before discharge 30 were associated with early KMC in two small African studies; however, important differences in study group characteristics were not controlled in analysis.…”

Objective: Immediate Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC), an intervention following childbirth whereby the newborn is placed skin-to-skin (STS) on mother's chest to promote thermal regulation, breastfeeding and maternalnewborn bonding, is being taught in very low-income countries to improve newborn health and survival. Existing data are reviewed to document the association between community-based KMC (CKMC) implementation and its potential benefits.Study Design: New analyses of the sole randomized controlled study of CKMC in Bangladesh and others' experiences with immediate KMC are presented.Result: Newborns held STS less than 7 h per day in the first 2 days of life do not experience substantially better health or survival than babies without being held STS. Conclusion:Most women who were taught CKMC hold their newborns STS, but do so in a token manner unlikely to improve health or survival. Serious challenges exist to provide effective training and postpartum support to achieve adequate STS practices. These challenges must be overcome before scaling up.

“…El contacto de la madre con la piel del neonato en forma temprana se ha relacionado con una serie de beneficios como una mayor duración de lactancia materna, disminución en el llanto del niño, mejor estabilidad cardiorrespiratoria 5 e incremento en la temperatura corporal. 6 Allí se pueden realizar las evaluaciones necesarias, identificación y posteriormente quedar en alojamiento conjunto con la madre.…”

Este artículo debe citarse como INTRODUCCIÓNLa gran mayoría de los recién nacidos de término son vigorosos al nacer y requieren sólo vigilancia durante su transición, que efectuarán sin problema. El recién nacido saludable presenta un buen aspecto al nacer e implica, además, una atención prenatal que haya estudiado al binomio y descartado toda situación que conlleve un riesgo adicional.1 Los cuidados de un recién nacido saludable, los que se brindarán en el hospital y los que se darán en casa, se agrupan bajo el concepto genérico de "cuidados de rutina". El objetivo de este trabajo es hacer explícitos dichos cuidados. Sala de partosSe empieza por conocer la historia materna, embarazos anteriores (si los hay) y los detalles del actual hasta el momento del trabajo de parto. Es necesario que el pediatra tenga todo el equipo necesario para brindar una reanimación avanzada, aunque no haya antecedentes maternos o perinatales de riesgo, pues en el último minuto puede surgir una complicación; el Cuadro 1 enumera dicho equipo. Antes del nacimiento deberá acomodarse todo el material bajo la fuente de calor radiante; es responsabilidad del médico verificar que todo el equipo esté presente y en buenas condiciones. El pediatra deberá vestirse con ropa estéril para acercarse al ambiente donde nacerá el bebé, ya sea parto o cesárea. Existe evidencia de que en un neonato de término sin complicaciones, el pinzamiento del cordón posterior al minuto de vida puede traer beneficios. 2,3En una evaluación rápida, el pediatra debe preguntarse si el neonato es de término, está respirando y si tiene buen tono muscular; en caso de responder afirmativamente a las tres interrogantes se requiere sólo la atención de rutina. 4 El neonato puede colocarse

“…The absence of vigorous crying is not indicative of the absence of newborn breathing. Quiet stable newborn breathing happens often without a single peep out of the baby who is immediately placed in the habitat (Moore, Anderson, & Bergman, 2007;Mori, Khanna, Pledge, & Nakayama, 2010). This is frequently observed of babies who are born in water.…”

Meta‐analysis of physiological effects of skin‐to‐skin contact for newborns and mothers

Abstract: Skin-to-skin care is effective in increasing the body temperature of babies, especially where resources are limited and the environment is cold. Decreased oxygen saturation of the babies, however, warrants further prospective studies to confirm the findings.
