94. Longitudinal Development in Pediatric Residents of Attitudes Toward Neonatal Resuscitation

Author

Berseth, Carol Lynn, Kenny, John D., and Durand, Roger

Abstract

• We used Guttman scaling procedures to devise a quantitative, reproducible measure among pediatric residents of attitude change concerning neonatal resuscitation. Preliminary cross-sectional testing of an incoming group of pediatric level 1 residents and graduating pediatric level 3 residents indicated that pediatric level 3 residents were more reluctant to resuscitate highrisk infants. This reluctance was not due to age differences. The pediatric level 1 residents were retested at the completion of each year of training. Residents showed significantly increased reluctance to resuscitate infants at the end of the first year of training and again at the end of the third year of training. These attitude changes were unrelated to gender, marital status, religious preference, or ethnic background. Data acquired both cross-sectionally and longitudinally indicated that attitudes toward neonatal resuscitation changed during residency training.(AJDC 1986;140:766-769)

95. Breast-Milk-Enhanced Intestinal and Somatic Growth in Neonatal Rats

Author

Berseth, Carol Lynn

Abstract

Ten rat pups fed pooled rat milk and 9 pups fed artificial formula had significantly heavier stomachs and intestines that contained more DNA and RNA by 40 h of age than 12 pups sacrificed at birth. Breast-milk-fed animals had significantly heavier intestines, livers and kidneys than animals fed artificial formula. The intestines of pups fed breast milk contained more DNA and RNA with a lower RNA:DNA ratio than the intestines of pups fed artificial formula. Hence, when caloric intake and mode of feeding are controlled, natural milk enhances neonatal intestinal growth more than artificial formula.
