RESUMO
We sought to establish guidelines for hygiene care in newborns based on a systematic review of the literature and grading of evidence using the Groupe de Réflexion et d'Evaluation de l'Environement des Nouveau-nés (GREEN) methodology. We examined 45 articles and 4 reports from safety agencies. These studies recommend a tub bath (rather than a sponge bath) for full-term infants and a swaddle bath for preterm newborns. They also recommend against daily cleansing of preterm infants. The literature emphasized that hygiene care must consider the clinical state of the newborn, including the level of awareness and behavioral responses. Hospitalized newborns treated with topical agents may also experience high exposure to potentially harmful excipients of interest. Caregivers should therefore be aware of the excipients present in the different products they use. In high-resource countries, the available data do not support the use of protective topical agents for preterm infants.Conclusions: We recommend individualization of hygiene care for newborns. There is increasing concern regarding the safety of excipients in topical agents that are used in neonatology. A multidisciplinary approach should be used to identify an approach that requires lower levels of excipients and alternative excipients. What is known: ⢠Hygiene care is one of the most basic and widespread types of care received by healthy and sick newborns worldwide. ⢠There is no current guideline on hygiene for preterm or hospitalized term newborn. What is new: ⢠The French Group of Reflection and Evaluation of the environment of Newborns (GREEN) provided here guidelines based on the current body of evidence. ⢠Caregivers should be aware of the many issues related to hygiene care of newborns including newborns' behavioral responses to hygiene care, exposition to excipients of interest, and the potential risk of protective topical agents in a preterm infant. provided here guidelines based on the current body of evidence. ⢠Caregivers should be aware of the many issues related to hygiene care of newborns including newborns' possible behavioral responses to hygiene care, exposition to excipients of interest and the potential risk of protective topical agents in a preterm infant.

INTRODUCTION: Psycho-social vulnerabilities are a medical risk factor for both fetus and mother. Association between socioeconomic status and prenatal follow-up has been well established and inadequate follow-up is associated with higher morbidity and mortality in women in unfavorable situations. OBJECTIVE: The objective is to identify screening strategies and to describe existing systems for pregnant women in psycho-social vulnerability in French maternity hospitals. MATERIAL AND METHODES: This is a national survey conducted by questionnaire in all French maternities. RESULTS: Screening by means of targeted questions is carried out by 96.7% of maternity units. Early prenatal interviews are offered systematically by 64% of maternity units and access to them is still difficult for women in vulnerable situations. In order to organize care pathways, 28.7% of maternities have a structured unit within their establishment and 81% state that they have mobilizable caregivers. Multidisciplinary meetings for the coordination of the various stakeholders are held by 85.8% of maternity units. Collaboration with networks and associations is emphasized. CONCLUSION: A large proportion of maternities seek to identify women in situation of psycho-social vulnerabilities and to organize care paths. However, the resources implemented still appear insufficient for many maternity units. Each maternity hospital has resources and is developing initiatives to deal with the difficulties of care.

OBJECTIVES: Assess patient awareness, satisfaction and expectations three years after the implementation of the Aurore perinatal network. METHOD AND MATERIALS: Semi-guided interviews with 60 Aurore network perinatal patients, 20 having undergone in-utero transfers (IUT), 20 whose newborns were transferred to the neonate unit (NNT), and 20 post-delivery without IUT or NNT, between September 2007 and January 2007. RESULTS: Fifteen percent of patients were familiar with the Aurore perinatal network (9/60). The concepts of IUT and NNT were not associated with that of the perinatal network. The information provided helped 85 % of the patients to feel more secure (51/60). For 83 % of the patients with mother-child bond was maintained (50/60). In 90 % of cases, the teams included the father in the healthcare provision process (54/60). Patients had expectations on a greater consideration on the emotional aspect during a transfer. CONCLUSION: Few patients knew the perinatal network. They were globally satisified during a transfer, they insisted on the importance of staff empathy and availability.

INTRODUCTION: Early prenatal interview has needed the implementation of a new communication tool between follow-up pregnancy professionals: a link sheet filled and carried by patients. OBJECTIVE: To assess the utilization of link sheet by trained professionals, the contribution of the interview and the patient acceptation of the link sheet. MATERIALS AND METHOD: Descriptive survey from the database of link sheets returned by professionals to Aurore perinatal network and semi-guided interviews with 100 randomized patients. RESULT: One thousand one hundred and nineteen link sheets were sent to Aurore perinatal network by 55 professionals out of 78 trained. For primipare, precocious prenatal interview contribution has concerned health care security (60%) and emotional security (56%). For multipare, this contribution has concerned mainly emotional security (80%). No interviewed patient has refused link sheet principle. CONCLUSION: Link sheet principle, like implemented by Aurore perinatal network, seems pertinent to professionals and patients but it constitutes only one of the elements of network elaboration of personalized care.

OBJECTIVE: Prenatal diagnosis of cleft lip and palate has been available for over 25 years. 3D ultrasound has significantly improved prenatal screening and perinatal care. Surface rendering of the fetal face is frequently asked by parents during exam and it has been shown to substantially improve parental-fetal bonding. However, little is known about the parental impact of surface ultrasound of the abnormal fetal face. We thus decided to assess parental feelings after 3D surface rendering of the fetal face in cleft lip and palate. PATIENT(S) AND METHOD: Between January 2003 and December 2006, a questionnaire was systematically proposed after birth to the parents who had 3D examination during pregnancy for lip and cleft palate. Analysis of results was performed retrospectively. RESULTS: Twenty-three couples answered to inclusion criteria, 12 have been contacted, 9 responded. 3D ultrasound was not perceived as disturbing in 78% of parents. On the contrary 3D pictures had a positive effect and better prepare parents to birth. All of them even more considered that it should be systematically performed. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Prenatal diagnosis of cleft lip and palate is known to improve parental well-being during the perinatal period. Furthermore, in addition to improved diagnosis, 3D ultrasound also provides a better understanding and acceptance of the malformation than 2D examination. The parental impact of 3D ultrasound is positive supporting and strengthening a systematic use in isolated fetal lip and cleft palate.
