Q

Exclusive Breastfeeding & Hyperbilirubinemia

A
  • “Breastfeeding Jaundice”
    • Related to suboptimal milk intake

    • Prolonged unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia
    • Can last up to 3 months (Mary said she hasn’t seen it last longer than 6-8 weeks)
    • Almost always nonpathologic and not associated with direct or conjugated

Q

Hearing Screening in Newborns

A
  • **all infants should be screened by 1 mo old**
  • Those who fail initial screening → need to be assessed by audiologist by 3 months of age, with intervention by 6 months
  • Automated auditory brainstem response:
    • Click or chirp stimuli at 35dB → surface electrodes on forehead, nape, and mastoid or shoulder
    • Measures waveforms in response to stimuli and then compares them to normal neonatal templates → pass or fail
  • Otoacoustic Emission:
    • Measure the presence or absence of sound waves generated by the cochlear outer hair cells of the inner ear in response to sound stimuli
  • Risk Factors for Hearing Loss:
    • NICU for 5+ days
    • Hearing loss syndromes
    • Family hx of hereditary childhood hearing loss
    • Craniofacial anomalies
    • Congenital infx
    • Severe hyperbilirubinemia → serum bili > 35 mg/dL (599 micro/L) or requiring exchange transfusion on a preterm infant
    • Delivery Complications: perinatal asphyxia, cooling, or problems during delivery (e.g. 5 min APGAR score < 6)
    • Ototoxic Meds: ampicillin, gentamicin, oxacillin, tobramycin
