Podcasts about Kangaroo care

Il 15 maggio si celebra la Giornata Mondiale della Kangaroo Care, con un messaggio forte: “Tra le mie braccia, cresci”. Non è solo un’immagine tenera: è una realtà scientifica. Oggi sappiamo che il contatto pelle a pelle tra neonato e genitore è una vera terapia, capace di stabilizzare, nutrire e far crescere meglio. Non solo per i bambini prematuri, ma per tutti i neonati. Un abbraccio può fare la differenza per tutta la vita. Per capire come e perché, ne parliamo con il prof. Massimo Agosti, presidente della SIN e professore di pediatria all’Università degli studi dell’Insubria

Physician and psychologist Heidi Feldman is a pioneer in the field of developmental behavioral pediatrics who says that the world's understanding of childhood disability is changing and so too are the ways we approach it. Where once institutionalization was common, today we find integrative, family-centered approaches, charting a more humane, hopeful path forward. For example, for children born prematurely with increased likelihood of disability, increasing skin-to-skin contact – what is called  “kangaroo care” – can literally reshape that child's brain development, she tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.Have a question for Russ?

Executive Summary Ansh, a 1-year-old Charity Entrepreneurship incubated charity, has been delivering an evidence-based, scientifically proven intervention called Kangaroo Care to low birth weight and premature babies in 2 government hospitals in India since January 2024. Ansh estimates that their programs are saving, on average, 4 lives a month per facility and a total of 98 lives per year. The cost of one life saved is approximately $2077 (current costs, not a potential estimate). Ansh is now replicating the programs in two additional hospitals, doubling their impact before the end of this year.According to the World Health Organization (WHO), neonatal conditions[1] are among the top 3 causes of death worldwide[2]. This makes neonatal mortality one of the largest-scale causes of suffering and death today. In 2022, 2.3 million babies died in the first 28 days of life (i.e. the newborn/neonatal period) (World Health Organisation, 2024). Let's compare [...] ---Outline:(00:06) Executive Summary(02:33) I.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Introducing Ansh: A Charity Entrepreneurship Incubated Charity, published by Supriya on May 29, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Executive Summary Ansh, a 1-year-old Charity Entrepreneurship incubated charity, has been delivering an evidence-based, scientifically proven intervention called Kangaroo Care to low birth weight and premature babies in 2 government hospitals in India since January 2024. Ansh estimates that their programs are saving, on average, 4 lives a month per facility and a total of 98 lives per year. The cost of one life saved is approximately $2077 (current costs, not a potential estimate). Ansh is now replicating the programs in two additional hospitals, doubling their impact before the end of this year. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), neonatal conditions[1] are among the top 10 causes of death worldwide[2]. This makes neonatal mortality one of the largest-scale causes of suffering and death today. In 2022, 2.3 million babies died in the first 28 days of life (i.e. the newborn/neonatal period) (World Health Organisation, 2024). Let's compare that number to one of EA's other top cause areas. In 2022, 608,000 people died of malaria, which is about 26.4% lower than neonatal conditions. However, we have a cost-effective, scalable model for preventing malaria-caused death (e.g., with AMF and Malaria Consortium). Unfortunately, there has been no equivalently cost-effective and scalable model for preventing neonatal mortality. In this post, we will introduce Ansh, a 1-year-old Charity Entrepreneurship incubated charity that is working towards building tractable, scalable solutions to neonatal mortality in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). 81% of neonatal deaths happen in low and Low-Middle SDI countries. The disparities in mortality rates between low and high-resource contexts suggest that most neonatal deaths are preventable. In the sections below, we will first introduce Ansh and its mission statement, share our results thus far, and then introduce some of our plans for how to increase our reach and impact over the next few years. We are very excited to share the work we've done so far with the EA community, and to hear your constructive feedback on how we can make our non-profit even more impactful! I. The Problem and Solution More than half of all neonatal deaths occur within the first three days after birth (Dol J, 2021) and over 75% in the first week of life (WHO, 2024), making it imperative to reach babies as soon after birth as possible. Moreover, low birth weight (LBW)[3] is considered the number one mortality risk factor for children under 5. In fact, according to the Global Burden of Disease, around 89% of all newborn deaths in India (the country where about 22% of all newborn deaths in the world occur) happen to LBW and preterm newborns. Further, 81% of all newborn deaths occur in Low or Low-Middle SDI countries (Global Burden of Disease Collaborative Network, 2019). Hence, the most effective path toward reducing neonatal mortality rates globally lies in developing interventions aimed at helping LBW babies during their first week of life in LMIC contexts. Thankfully, such an intervention exists: Kangaroo Care. Kangaroo Care (KC) needs neither fancy equipment nor expensive technology - the methods of KC are both simple and highly effective, especially for LBW newborns. KC requires early, continuous, and prolonged skin-to-skin contact between the mother (or another caregiver) and the baby for about 8 hours of contact per day-paired with exclusive breastfeeding and close monitoring of the baby. This is often assisted with a cloth binder, between the LBW newborn and caregiver (preferably the mother), to allow for mobility. Estimates from the 2016 Cochrane review suggest that KC can reduce LBW neonates' chance of (i) ...

Premature babies often need a lot of expensive specialised care - but that isn't always available. So, doctors in Colombia are teaching mothers to look after their babies in a similar way that kangaroos look after their own young.It's called "kangaroo mother care" and instead of being in an incubator, babies are wrapped tightly against their mother's skin.The technique was developed in Bogota in the late 1970s as a response to overcrowding in hospital maternity units. There weren't enough incubators and around 70% of premature babies didn't survive.Doctors started using this simple skin-to-skin method. They found it wasn't only saving babies but was also helping them to thrive. Now, kangaroo care has spread around the world.Presenter: Myra Anubi Reporter: Zoe Gelber Series producer: Tom Colls Sound mix: Hal Haines Editor: Richard Vadon Email: peoplefixingtheworld@bbc.co.uk Image: A baby in the kangaroo position

In this episode of the Tech Tuesday podcast, Dr. Yamile C. Jackson, CEO of Nurtured by Design, shares her journey from an engineer to an innovator in the neonatal care space, inspired by her son Zach's premature birth and the challenges she faced in the NICU.

In the latest episode of Sense by Meg Faure, host Meg has a heartfelt conversation with Tove, who previously appeared on the show in an episode titled 'The Juggle is Real.' During their previous chat, Tove opened up about her experiences raising her two little ones, Gray, who is four years old with special needs, and Jagger, who was an infant at the time. However, Tove recently gave birth to baby Nova, who arrived early at just 33 weeks. Tove bravely shares her birth story with Meg, recounting the range of emotions she experienced during a challenging cesarean section without her husband by her side, as he was still traveling. She discusses the unique sensory experiences that Nova had to endure in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Recognizing the importance of sensory care for premature babies, Meg suggests practical strategies to help Nova and other preemies thrive. Meg highlights the significance of Kangaroo Care, where skin-to-skin contact between the mother and baby provides comfort and a sense of security. She also emphasizes the benefits of deep pressure touch through swaddling, as well as the importance of minimizing noise in the NICU environment. Meg explores the measures Tove took to ensure Nova had her scent nearby, acknowledging the role that familiar scents can play in soothing premature infants. During their conversation, Meg and Tove discuss the concept of non-nutritive sucking, such as using a pacifier or dummy. This technique can help premature babies develop important oral skills and find comfort outside of feeding times. Tove candidly shares her journey, expressing both her disappointments and victories in caring for her three little ones and being present for each of them as much as possible. In an exciting announcement, Meg reveals that pediatric dietitian Kath Megaw will be joining them for another episode to delve into the topic of the premature feeding journey. Listeners are encouraged to tune in to future episodes for this captivating discussion and much more valuable information. Sense by Meg Faure continues to provide a platform for parents and caregivers to explore various topics related to child development and care.

This is part 3 of my skin-to-skin series where we address the importance of getting babies skin-to-skin on mothers and stressing how critical this life-saving care is. Today Kate a nurse practitioner gives us some insight into what she's learned about having babies skin-to-skin on mom during a c-section. Kate (Katherine Chokan, DNP (Doctorate of Nursing), BSN, RN ) has been a maternity nurse (Labor and Postpartum) for 6.5 years. She recently graduated from a Nurse Practitioner program in December where she conducted a doctoral research project. The project was a quality improvement initiative to implement Kangaroo Care in the OR after C-section. She will be advancing her nursing career as a Family Nurse Practitioner starting in March. She has a 2.5-year-old son. She and her husband have enjoyed traveling and exploring around Cleveland trying to instill adventure in their son and explore the world through his perspective. She is always trying to maintain good physical health through various exercise outlets; running, hiking, biking, skiing, and swimming.

[APPLY NOW]We provide cost-covered two-month training, stipends, ongoing mentorship, and grants up to $200,000 per project. You can learn more on our website. We also invite you to join our event on February 20, 6PM UK Time. Sam Hilton, our Director of Research, will introduce the ideas and answer your questions. Sign up here. Disclaimers: In an effort to be brief we have sacrificed nuance, the details of our considerable uncertainties, and the downside risks that are discussed in the longer reports; these shall be published in the upcoming weeks. Please note that previous incubatees attest to the ideas becoming increasingly exciting over the course of the program. One-Sentence Summaries An organization that works to prevent the growth of antimicrobial resistance by advocating for better (pull) funding mechanisms to drive R&D and responsible use of new antibiotics. An advocacy organization that promotes academic guidelines to restrict potentially harmful “dual-use” research. A charity that rolls out dual HIV/syphilis rapid diagnostic tests, penicillin, and training to antenatal clinics, to effectively tackle congenital syphilis at scale in low-and middle-income countries. An organization that distributes Oral Rehydration Solution and zinc co-packages to effectively treat life-threatening diarrhea in under five year olds in low-and middle-income countries. A charity that builds healthcare capacity to provide “Kangaroo Care”, an exceptionally simple and cost-effective treatment, to avert hundreds of thousands of newborn deaths each year in low-and middle-income countries. One-Paragraph Summaries 1. Preventing growth of antimicrobial resistance by advocating for better (pull) funding mechanisms to drive R&D and responsible use of new antibiotics Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is where harmful microbes develop the ability to resist treatment. Recent reports suggest that there are 47 million disability adjusted life years (DALYs) per annum attributed to antibiotic resistance (a key type of AMR). The current financial incentives for new antimicrobial drug development are insufficient, and only a handful of novel antibiotics have been brought to market in the last 30 years. There are well-developed proposals for new market mechanisms using a “subscription” model that would solve this issue. This new charity will advocate for these better market mechanisms, to incentivise the creation and responsible deployment of important new antimicrobial drugs. We estimate that government spending on new market mechanisms for antibiotics could lead to a DALY averted for $100-$150. 2. Advocacy for restricting potentially harmful “dual-use” research Dual-use research of concern (DURC) is well-intended research which can lead to harm, either by accident or through deliberate misapplication of the technology. DURC could be a key risk factor for the occurrence of a particularly deadly pandemic during the next 50 years. This risk should be mitigatable with the development and adoption of good practice. We analyzed a dozen case studies of attempts to ensure research safety, ranging from animal testing to human cloning, and w...

For this podcast episode, we review some recent research studies that not only show the importance of frequent skin-to-skin care, but how it correlates with a more synchronous relationship between the infant and parents, promotes parental attachment, involvement, and breast milk production! You will hear many of the ways skin-to-skin care positively affects the infant and the parents. The practice of kangaroo care between an infant and their parent results in this beautiful, virtuous, positive cycle of unending benefits for everyone involved! With both the physical, mental, and neurobiological benefits, kangaroo care is one of the most effective non-pharmacological nursing interventions used in the NICU for the care of infants and their family. Skin-to-skin care has been shown to minimize stress in infants and mothers, promote parental engagement, positively influence the infant's microbiome, stabilize an infant's physiologic functioning, improve an infant's neuromaturation, decrease the risk of postpartum depression, and improve maternal-child attachment. Once parents begin to bond with their infant, they are more likely to remain involved which allows them to learn their infant's behavioral cues. Once this occurs, parents are able to confidently care for their infant while in the NICU and after discharge which continues to promote a nurturing environment and ultimately improves the infant's long-term outcomes.Stay tuned and get ready to be blown away by the amazingness of what our human bodies can do!Grab your freebies mentioned in the episode at:https://empoweringnicuparents.com/hats/ https://empoweringnicuparents.com/kangaroograph/https://empoweringnicuparents.com/kangaroolog/https://empoweringnicuparents.com/standingtransfer/Empowering NICU Parents Show Notes: https://empoweringnicuparents.com/episode30/Empowering NICU Parents Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/empoweringnicuparents/Empowering NICU Parents FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/empoweringnicuparentsPinterest Page: https://pin.it/36MJjmH

Kemudian dokter menyelimuti Jamie yang sudah tidak bernyawa lalu memberikan kepada ibunya, Kate.  Hati Kate dan David sangat hancur melihat salah satu anak kembarnya meninggal. Dengan hati hancur, Kate memeluk Jamie di dadanya selama 2 jam, sambil menceritakan tentang keluarga dan apa yang akan dilakukannya jika Jamie masih ada. "Aku menaruh dia di dadaku dengan kepalanya di lenganku dan terus memeluknya sambil berbicara. Dia tidak bergerak sama sekali," kata Kate dalam sebuah wawancara.      Pelukan seorang ibu itu ternyata membawa sebuah keajaiban. Tiba-tiba hal yang mengejutkan terjadi, Jamie bergerak seperti terkaget dan nafasnya mulai teratur. Setelah itu, Jamie mengulurkan tangannya dan meraih jari ibunya, serta menggerakkan kepalanya. Melihat keajaiban tersebut, dokter yang bertugas saat itu pun terkejut dan mengatakan bahwa ini adalah keajaiban. Dokter menduga bahwa tubuh hangat Kate bertindak seperti inkubator yang merangsang tubuh bayi agar tetap hangat. Metode seperti ini disebut Kangaroo Care, yaitu metode perawatan bayi prematur dengan cara memberikan sentuhan kulit ke kulit, antara si ibu dengan bayi. Pelukan sang ibu dengan metode Kangaroo Care lebih menguntungkan dibandingkan dengan perawatan dalam inkubator. Yang menarik dari metode ini adalah, bayi tidak harus masuk dalam pemanas buatan, namun dengan metode ini bayi akan mendapatkan pemanas alami. Kisah Kate dan Jamie di atas mengajarkan kepada kita, bahwa pelukan itu memiliki kekuatan karena besar manfaatnya. Terlebih lagi bila pelukan itu diberikan kepada keluarga kita, seperti suami istri, anak dan saudara.  Saat Yusuf mengenalkan dirinya kepada saudara-saudaranya, mereka tidak langsung dapat menerima Yusuf, bahkan mereka takut dan gemetar terhadap Yusuf. Namun, keadaan berbalik saat Yusuf mulai memeluk Benyamin dan saudara-saudaranya yang lain. Hubungan persaudaraan yang retak pun menjadi pulih.    Kisah Jamie dan Yusuf membuktikan bahwa pelukan memiliki kekuatan yang luar biasa, hanya saja kita seringkali menyepelekan tindakan nyata itu. Saat ini mungkin ada seseorang yang membutuhkan pelukan dan kasih dari kita, mereka membutuhkan kekuatan dari pelukan tersebut. Untuk itu, nyatakanlah kasih kita dengan sebuah pelukan dan lakukanlah hal ini sekarang juga terhadap keluarga kita yang mungkin saja sedang duduk di samping kita. Tuhan Yesus memberkati.   Doa: Tuhan Yesus, ajarilah aku untuk dapat menyediakan waktu, sehingga aku dapat memberikan pelukan penuh kasih kepada keluargaku. Amin. (Dod).

A conversation about the readiness of British Columbia NICU's to employ a model of care imported from Columbia called Kangaroo Care with the project coordinator and an Independent Consultant working for Perinatal Services. BIO: Sarah Coutts - Independent Consultant, Kangaroo Care ProjectSarah is a lactation consultant, neonatal nurse and the mother of 4 kids. She has a passion for Kangaroo Care (continuous skin-to-skin contact) with preterm infants and their parents while in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. She believes Kangaroo Care can lead to improved outcomes and better experiences for parents of preterm infants. Kangaroo Care helps maintain parents as the primary caregivers and ensures they can be with their baby during their stay in the NICU – promoting zero separation is essential.Her most recent position at Perinatal Services BC in the Kangaroo Care research and implementation project team has been a highlight for her and hopefully leads to supporting BC NICUs to fully embrace Kangaroo Care as a model of care.Sarah is hoping to continue to promote and research Kangaroo Care locally and internationally and reduce separation between mothers and their infants after birth and while in the hospital.Alix Woldring - Project Coordinator, Clinical Systems and Quality Improvement, Perinatal Services BCI currently coordinate the Kangaroo Care program at Perinatal Services BC. In 2016, I completed my Masters in International Development from the University of Sydney in Australia and found myself working in the agriculture and natural resources sector on projects related to sustainability and climate change adaptation in the Asia Pacific region. My background in sociology meant that while surrounded by environmental scientists, agriculture specialists and engineers, I was always curious about the social, cultural and political conditions that contributed to the disparities that were being addressed by these projects.Once I started at Perinatal Services BC, the Kangaroo Care program immediately caught my attention. There was a simple, low cost, low tech intervention, started in Colombia, that was hugely backed by evidence for both mother and infant. More than that, the Kangaroo Care project was about not only about the context of care in the NICU, it’s also about the context of people's lives. Involving families in the care of the infant as part of the care team involves a fundamental shift in the role of families, how they are seen by healthcare providers and how families see their own role. Maximising parental presence and participation in the NICU requires looking at the conditions that shape people's lives and the barriers and challenges they face to being in the NICU.Discover Alix and Sarah;Coutts, S., Woldring, A., Pederson, A. et al.

The Small Conversations for a Better World Podcast is officially one year old! And on January 1st, 2021, we're launching our third season. We can't wait! With a global pandemic as a backdrop, 2020 was a rollercoaster ride on an epic scale. The interconnectedness of things became even more apparent. Cracks in the foundation were revealed, and we realized it was even more important to talk about the things we see and experience around us that influence, and are influenced by our health. With that in mind, we've curated another fabulous lineup of authorities who can expand perspectives on our central theme: What is Health?As we launch Season 3, we thought we'd take a few moments to re-introduce ourselves, and share what we've learned so far, and what we're planning for this year. There is so much to talk about! We're kicking off on New Year's day with an in-depth conversation with BC RCMP Deputy Commissioner Jennifer Strachan, who answered our questions about systemic racism and intolerance in Canadian policing. That's just the tip of the iceberg! We'll talk about food security with Dr. Tammara Soma; about the social determinants of health with Kristy Kerr, Director of the BC CDC Foundation for Public Health. We'll talk about fitness and homelessness, and how they link in ways you might not expect. We'll dive deep into endometriosis, concussions, and Kangaroo Care. And we'll get an insiders perspective about Search and Rescue in BC. Subscribe to the podcast - and Season 3, episode 1 will drop into your playlist on New Year's Day. After that, look for new episodes every Friday for the duration of the season. Check out the great conversations you may have missed from Seasons 1 & 2.
