Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A scoring system for the evaluation of the clinical status of transported small premature infants was modified to make it applicable to the evaluation of both premature and term infants. Blood glucose concentration, systolic blood pressure, blood pH and PO2, and body temperature were assessed and given scores of 0, 1 or 2 for abnormal, borderline and normal values, respectively. The scoring system was used for quality assurance studies of changes in patient status during transport from community hospitals to the neonatal intensive care unit and proved useful in identifying inadequate attention to body-temperature maintenance. The scoring system showed an improvement in the criterion after changes in clinical monitoring and management of body temperature were instituted. An additional use of the scoring system was for the identification of specific problems in neonatal stabilization in referring community hospitals. |
