RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: We aimed to investigate the cerebral fractional tissue oxygen extraction (FtOE) during kangaroo care (KC) in premature infants and compare cardiorespiratory stability and hypoxic or bradycardic events between KC and incubator care. METHODS: A single-center prospective observational study was carried out at the NICU of a level 3 perinatal center. Preterm infants <32 weeks gestational age were subjected to KC. Patients were subjected to continuous monitoring of regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rScO2), peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2), and heart rate (HR) during KC, before KC (pre-KC), and after KC (post-KC). The monitoring data were stored and exported to MATLAB for synchronization and signal analysis including the calculation of the FtOE and events analysis (i.e., desaturations and bradycardias counts and anormal values). Furthermore, the event counts and the mean SpO2, HR, rScO2, and FtOE were compared between studied periods employing the Wilcoxon rank-sum test and the Friedman test, respectively. RESULTS: A total of forty-three KC sessions with their corresponding pre-KC and post-KC segments were analyzed. The distributions of the SpO2, HR, rScO2, and FtOE showed different patterns according to the respiratory support, but not differences between the studied periods were detected. Accordingly, no significant differences in monitoring events were evidenced. However, cerebral metabolic demand (FtOE) was significantly lower during KC compared with post-KC (p = 0.019). CONCLUSION: Premature infants remain clinically stable during KC. Moreover, cerebral oxygenation is significantly higher and cerebral tissular oxygen extraction is significantly lower during KC compared with incubator care in post-KC. No differences in HR and SpO2 were shown. This novel data analysis methodology could be expanded to other clinical situations.

INTRODUCTION: Kangaroo care (KC) is defined by the World Health Organization as a method of care consisting in putting premature infants or newborns in skin-to-skin contact with their parents. KC is an effective method of promoting health and well-being of infants and their families. Physiological stability during KC has been widely analyzed, however with controversial results. METHODS: A systematic review was conducted. Electronic databases searched included MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, and Scopus. Two authors independently reviewed and extracted information using a data extraction form. The methodological quality of the observational studies was assessed using "STROBE" and the "Cochrane Collaboration tool" for randomized controlled trials. The physiological monitoring parameters included were heart rate (HR), arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2), regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rScO2), and fractional oxygen extraction (FtOE). RESULTS: A total of 345 articles were identified. First, 302 articles were excluded by title and then 34 articles after full-text analysis. Finally, a total of 25 studies were included. Physiological parameters monitored (HR, SpO2, rScO2, and FtOE) showed no significant changes at different study periods: pre-KC, during KC, and post-KC. CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that stable preterm infants receiving or not respiratory support show no significant differences in HR, SpO2, FtOE during KC compared to routine incubator care. rScO2 remains stable during KC with slight upward trend. Further studies with a higher level of methodological quality are needed to confirm these findings.

AIM: The aim of this study was to appraise the feasibility and reproducibility of applying a validated analytical method to determine salivary oxidative stress biomarkers in newborn infants. METHODS: Prospective observational single-centre study was carried out in level III neonatal intensive care unit. Eligible patients were preterm infants and healthy full-term newborn infants. Salivary samples were analysed in the chromatographic system. RESULTS: A total of 23 premature newborn infants and 13 full-term newborns were included. We analysed salivary levels of oxidative stress biomarkers for 5-F2t isoprostane, 15-E2t isoprostane, prostaglandin E2 and prostaglandin F2α. The multivariate predictive model showed a positive association between female and 5-F2t isoprostonae, and between female sex and prostglandin F2α. In addition, we found a positive association between gestational age and levels of prostaglandin E2 . Furthermore, in the premature group, we found a positive association between the inspired fraction of oxygen and levels of prostaglandin G2 . CONCLUSION: We identified and determined lipid peroxidation biomarkers in term and preterm newborn infants' saliva using specific and validated mass spectrometry technology.
