Steps of effective hand washing
- Roll sleeves above elbow - Remove wrist watch, bangles, ring etc - Using plain water and soap, wash parts of the hand in the following sequence
- Palm and fingers (web spaces) - Back of hands - Fingers and Knuckles - Thumbs - Finger tips - Wrists and forearm up to elbow

Steps of Effective Hand Washing
- Keep elbow always dependent - Close the tap using elbow - Dry hands using single use sterile paper / napkin - Do not keep long or polished nails Rinsing hands with alcohol is NOT A SUBSTITUTE for PROPER HAND WASHING

Definition
NECROTIZING ENTEROCOLITIS
![Page 33: Neonatal Sepsis and Necrotizing Enterocolitis](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042613/554ae5d3b4c905a37c8b510c/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
• 0.5 - 3.5/1000 live births
• Affects mostly premature infants (10% occur in FT)
• Increased incidence with decreasing BW and GA
• Hypothesis - the risk of NEC is determined by maturity of the GI tract
11/04/2023 33
Incidence
![Page 34: Neonatal Sepsis and Necrotizing Enterocolitis](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042613/554ae5d3b4c905a37c8b510c/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
• The age of onset is highly variable but rarely occurs in the first three days of life
• The lowest GA (24-28 weeks) tend to develop NEC after the second week of life
• Intermediate GA (29-32 weeks) develop it within 1-3 weeks
• Term infants or >32 weeks tend to develop it in the first week of life

• low APGARS,• UAC • severe RDS, • PDA’s (ie gut ischemia),• Aggressive and early enteral feeding in a premature
infant • Prematurity (with immature GI tract and host
defenses) is the primary risk factor

• Antenatal steroids decreased the incidence of NEC • Use of human milk • GI priming with cautious advancement of enteral
feeding.
