- W2154221497 abstract "Neonatal hypothermia is a common and dangerous condition around the world. 70% of neonates born in Kalawati Saran Children’s Hospital in New Delhi, India, and subsequently admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) had a temperature below 36.5°C on admission. In July 2016, we formed a team of staff from the labour room, NICU and auxiliary staff to reduce hypothermia in babies transported to our NICU using quality improvement methods. We identified problems related to staff awareness of hypothermia and its dangers, environmental factors and supply issues in the labour room, and challenges with rapidly and safely transferring sick newborns to the NICU. We used the Plan-Do-Study-Act cycles to test and adapt solutions to these problems. Because infection is a common complication of hypothermia, we also instituted a training programme to improve handwashing skills among parents and health workers. Within 9 months of starting our quality improvement project, the proportion of neonates who were normothermic on admission increased from 27% to 75%, the number of cases of late-onset neonatal sepsis decreased from 15.2 to 5 cases/1000 patient days, and all-cause mortality fell from 4.2 to 2.6 neonatal deaths per week. Multiple factors can lead to neonatal hypothermia, and the most important factors will differ from facility to facility. Quality improvement methods provide health workers with the skills to identify the key factors contributing to hypothermia in their facility and to develop strategies to address them. Addressing processes of care can lead to improved thermal care and save lives." @default.
