Effect of early Kangaroo Mothercare in Neonates weighing less than 1800 gram in Neonatal Intensive Care set up,Odisha.

Prematurity is the primary cause of death for children under five worldwide. There are significant disparities in survival rates between countries. Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) is one of the most important live saving interventions and standards of care for the LBW infants under all circumstances.The best approach to effectively satisfy a kangaroo mother’s basic needs is to provide warmth, nutrition, immunity to illness, multi-modal stimulation, safety, and love. More than 80% of deaths involve LBW new-borns and KMC is the answer to all of this. KMC not only regulates body temperature but also supports numerous physiological processes such as oxygenation, apnea reduction, hypoglycemia reduction, infection reduction, and nosocomial sepsis reduction .The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of Early Kangaroo Mother Care, or E-KMC, for LBW babies in neonatal intensive care settings through a thorough evaluation of the body. Further, to examine the advantages of preterm outcomes such as late onset sepsis (also known as clinical or blood culture positive sepsis), breast milk availability, feeding intolerance, time to full feeds, NEC, TPNduration, extrauterine growth retardation, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, osteopenia of prematurity, IVH,NICU stay, discharge weight, and NICU mortality. This project aims to offer important insights into the best care of preterm and LBW infants in NICU settings by putting evidence-based approaches into practice. The results could enhance infant outcomes, influence healthcare legislation, and guide clinical practice standards and also influences on the discharge of home KMC following hospital discharge.
