Abstract

Sudden unexpected postnatal collapse is defined as a pathology occurring in the first week of life that may require admission to the neonatal intensive care unit, affecting apparently healthy newborns who are breathing spontaneously and considered adequate for routine postnatal care. In recent years, sudden unexpected postnatal collapse has been associated with skin-to-skin contact of the newborn, which is one of the key practices of respectful mother-baby care. When these studies are examined, it is seen that the link between skin contact and sudden unexpected postnatal collapse cases has been examined but not widely revealed. In this review, it is aimed to explain the relationship between skin-to-skin contact and unexpected postnatal collapse.

Özet

Doğum sonrası beklenmedik kollaps; yaşamın ilk haftasında meydana gelen, görünüşte sağlıklı doğan, kendiliğinden nefes alan ve rutin doğum sonrası bakım için yeterince iyi kabul edilen bebeklerin yenidoğan yoğun bakım ünitesine kabulünü gerektirebilen bir patoloji olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Son yıllarda beklenmedik doğum sonrası kollapsın; saygılı anne bebek bakımının anahtar uygulamalarından olan yenidoğanın ten tene teması ile ilişkilendirildiği çalışmalara yer verilmektedir. Bu çalışmalara bakıldığında, ten teması kaynaklı doğum sonrası beklenmedik kollaps vakaları arasındaki bağlantının incelendiği fakat geniş çapta ortaya konulmadığı görülmektedir. Bu derlemede, ten teması ile beklenmedik doğum sonrası kollaps arasındaki ilişkinin açıklanması amaçlanmıştır.
