TL;DR: Simple interventions, such as maintaining DR temperature >25 °C, reducing maternal hypothermia prior to delivery, providing plastic bags/wraps and caps for the newly born infants, and using warm resuscitation gases, may decrease Hypothermia at NICU admission and improve early neonatal survival.

TL;DR: An outbreak of two multi-drug resistant clones of Acinetobacter baumannii in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of the Uberlândia Federal University Hospital in Minas Gerais state, Brazil was studied and the contribution of cross-transmission in the rise in infection rates was analyzed.

TL;DR: Mechanical ventilation, total parenteral nutrition, orogastric tube, previous antibiotic therapy, use of CVC and birth weight of 751-1,000g appeared to be associated with a significantly higher risk of NI (p < 0.05).

TL;DR: Although neonates weighing less than 750g comprise the group with lower representativeness at the unit, they reveal the highest CVC related to BSI incidence rate, which is 3.3/1000 days CVC.

TL;DR: The prevalence of breastfeeding and exclusive breastfeeding in the municipality of Uberlândia is among the highest in the country and the factors most often associated with the practice of early weaning were maternal employment outside the home, offering pacifiers to the infants, receiving postpartum care in the private health sector, and primiparity.
