RESUMO
The parents of a baby hospitalized in a neonatal unit are confronted with the trauma of premature birth. L'Atelier créa, a creatively-mediated peer group, was designed to give them a space in which to meet and share their experiences. It's a time for talking, imagining and dreaming about the baby. This group is also a form of passage, taking the place of ritual, allowing access to the parent-baby triad, in this sometimes so inhospitable universe.

Between 30 and 50 % of very premature babies have disorders that can affect their schooling, training and future life. Their origin is often multifactorial, and environmental, socioeconomic and family factors can influence the subsequent development of these children. Among these factors, the neonatal environment, which is generally very noisy and bright, as well as the numerous tactile solicitations, have been blamed. In 1978, the kangaroo method transformed this reality by improving the parent-baby relationship and reducing neonatal mortality. Since then, a trend has developed around developmental care with the Neonatal Individualized Developmental Care Assessment Program and the approach of André Bullinger.

Malika Jourdain has been a nursery nurse for nearly thirty years and works in neonatology at the children's hospital of La Tronche, in the Isère region. Her rich experience has enabled her to take part in some of the developments that have led to a better understanding of the role of parents with their premature newborn. In particular, the introduction of developmental care has led to upheavals in neonatal services. More than a change in practice, it has led to a paradigm shift.

Accompanying newborns in palliative care remains difficult for professionals. Representations, fears and real difficulties are all factors that put them to the test. Supervision in conjunction with a pediatric palliative care resource team could be an effective way to prevent burnout and improve the quality of care.

Positioning an infant in a physiological way is not trivial, even more so when it is born prematurely. To promote development, a posture that allows self-regulation and vegetative stability is essential. Particular attention must be paid to good positioning throughout the hospitalization in neonatal services, whether during or outside of care, during skin-to-skin sessions or in babywearing.

A study looked at the representations of skin-to-skin contact among parents and caregivers in seven neonatal units in France and Belgium. Their ways of understanding skin-to-skin contact have some common elements, without completely overlapping. The work carried out could prove useful for professionals who, thanks to it, would be likely to obtain a better understanding and adhesion of the families to the practice of this relational care.

The management of prematurity has evolved considerably since the 1980s thanks to the emergence of developmental care in the United States. In French-speaking Europe, it was not until the 2000s that this was developed. Two programmes are now mainly used in Europe: the neonatal individualized developmental care and assessment program and the Bullinger method. They make it possible to establish a partnership between parents and carers, which is essential in the care of these little ones born too early.

Premature birth is a test for fatherhood's process: it may hinder the ability to feel like a father or like a good father, and the ability to make the baby be part of the family line. A clinical research did explore how care givers in neonatal services may deploy psychic functions which support and revitalize a process of fatherhood which is potentially disturbed.

In the neonatal setting, point-of-care ultrasound is increasingly being used to help clinicians with the evaluation of heart function. Practices in neonatology, particularly with regard to acute and chronic hemodynamic managements, were traditionally more driven on dogma and predefined thresholds and not always supported by demonstrable physiology. For the first time, targeted neonatal echocardiography (TNE) provided neonatal intensivists with a bedside tool that made real-time assessment of neonatal hemodynamics status feasible in even the tiniest of babies. This opened the door towards more targeted physiological driven practices, allowing us to test historical approaches to clinical problems in a more precise way. Despite the standardization of TNE training and the creation of a formalized curriculum, little attention has been paid to the establishment of an empirical framework to adjudicate scientific investigation. In this position statement, we reflect on the evolution of TNE in Canadian neonatal intensive care units, appraise its strengths and limitations, and suggest guiding principles for clinicians and researchers to consider as they take this field forward.

As a young girl, Emilie Courtois wanted to write articles on children's health. Passionate about child health nursing, she gave herself the means, over fifteen years of career and studies, to achieve her dreams. She is now an epidemiologist child health nurse who draws immense satisfaction from her research activities for the benefit of the quality of care.

INTRODUCTION: The care of premature infants requires specific, suitable parenteral nutrition, in which the dosage must be frequently adjusted. METHOD: A comparative analysis of four industrial standard parenteral nutrition formulations NP 100®, Pediaven AP-HP Nouveau-né 1®, Pediaven AP-HP Nouveau-né 2® and Numetah G13% E® and of two hospital preparations made specifically in hospital pharmacies produced by two separate university hospitals (Nutrine® HCL and Formule standardisée début de nutrition) was conducted. The comparison between the formulations focused on electrolytic compositions and protein/energy ratio. RESULTS: Formule standardisée début de nutrition and Pediaven AP-HP Nouveau-né 1® are free from (i) sodium and potassium, (ii) potassium respectively. Almost equivalent sodium concentration (19-27 mM) and more variable potassium concentration (â¼9-26 mM) characterize the other formulations. Protein/energy ratio of Numetah G13% E®, Nutrine® HCL and Formule standardisée début de nutrition is 58% higher than that of NP 100®, Pediaven AP-HP Nouveau-né 1® and Pediaven AP-HP Nouveau-né 2®. DISCUSSION: Formule standardisée début de nutrition and Pediaven AP-HP Nouveau-né 1® are in accordance with the recommendations about hydro-electrolytic supplies during transition phase. Nutrine® HCL complies best to the recommendations about hydro-electrolytic account during stabilization phase. CONCLUSION: Hydro-electrolytic composition and protein/energy ratio of standard hospital parenteral nutrition formulations comply best to nutritional needs of premature infants.

Electroencephalography allows the functional analysis of electrical brain cortical activity and is the gold standard for analyzing electrophysiological processes involved in epilepsy but also in several other dysfunctions of the central nervous system. Morphological imaging yields complementary data, yet it cannot replace the essential functional analysis tool that is EEG. Furthermore, EEG has the great advantage of being non-invasive, easy to perform and allows repeat testing when follow-up is necessary, even at the patient's bedside. Faced with advances in knowledge, techniques and indications, the Société de neurophysiologie clinique de langue française (SNCLF) and the Ligue française contre l'épilepsie (LFCE) found it necessary to provide an update on EEG recommendations. This article will review the methodology applied to this work, refine the various topics detailed in the following chapters. It will go over the summary of recommendations for each of these chapters and highlight proposals for writing an EEG report. Some questions could not be answered by review of the literature; in such cases, in addition to the guidelines the working and reading groups provided their expert opinion.

Morphological imaging yields complementary data, yet it cannot replace the essential functional analysis tool that is EEG. Furthermore, EEG has the great advantage of being non-invasive, easy to perform and allows control tests when follow-up is necessary, even at the patient's bedside. Faced with the advances in knowledge, techniques and indications, the Société de Neurophysiologie Clinique de Langue Française (SNCLF) and the Ligue Française Contre l'Épilepsie (LFCE) found it necessary to provide an update on EEG recommendations. This article will review the methodology applied to this work, refine the various topics detailed in the following chapters. It will go over the summary of recommendations for each of these chapters and underline proposals for writing an EEG report. Some questions could not be answered by the review of the literature; in those cases, an expert advice was given by the working and reading groups in addition to the guidelines.
