Effect of Noise on Neonatal Vital Data and Behavior in NICU
Mohamed Mohamed Mosbah;
Abstract
The current study was designed as an interventional pre and post-test study with aim to evaluate the effect of noise exposure on vital signs (including heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, temperature and oxygen saturation) and neonatal behavior among neonates admitted to NICU.
As regarding demographic characteristics of the studied patients, it was estimated that most of the studied neonates were males (70%) with more than half of them were preterm with gestational age less than 37 weeks (55%). 64% of the neonates showed negative consanguinity of parents.
More than half of the neonates were delivered by normal vaginal delivery (NVD) (58%). The most common cause of NICU admission was neonatal jaundice (34%). Other causes included neonatal sepsis (27%), growing (9%) and mild respiratory distress syndrome (30%).
