A survey of 23 perinatal units in New Brunswick hospitals was conducted by means of a mailed questionnaire to determine the type of care provided to newborns. The results showed various degrees of conformity with published guidelines for the care of newborns. Deficiencies were noted in several areas of care: failing to give or improperly giving vitamin K1 prophylaxis (in 7 of the units), flushing the eyes after silver nitrate prophylaxis (in 10), using hexachlorophene to bathe newborns (in 11) and delaying the first feeding up to 12 hours (in 3). It is essential to provide appropriate support to newborns as they adjust to a new environment and to ensure that alternative practices are in keeping with current scientific knowledge.
通过邮寄问卷的方式对新不伦瑞克省医院的23个围产期护理单位进行了一项调查，以确定为新生儿提供的护理类型。结果显示，这些护理与已发表的新生儿护理指南存在不同程度的一致性。在几个护理领域发现了不足之处：未能给予或不当给予维生素K1预防（7个单位存在此情况）、在使用硝酸银预防后未冲洗眼睛（10个单位）、使用六氯酚给新生儿洗澡（11个单位）以及将首次喂养推迟至12小时（3个单位）。在新生儿适应新环境时提供适当的支持，并确保替代做法符合当前科学知识，这至关重要。
