What Care Pathways for Newborns Consulting Pediatric Emergencies? Prospective Study Over One Year

In 2014, newborns represented 1.57% of passages (or 906 newborns) of Emergency Pediatric Hospitals CHU de Nice-Lenval. This proportion is significant and steadily increasing (2013: 820 newborns or 1.46% of passes). The experienced team of pediatric emergency is that the majority of consultations respite care and child care could well be managed city. The bibliographic data confirms this feeling.

But no study has examined the course of care of the newborn during its first month of life. In 2014, in its recommendations for good practice for the release of motherhood after giving birth, the HAS recommends a medical examination by a pediatrician (or a general practitioner with experience of pathologies of the newborn) between 6 and 10 days of life. Other consultations (midwife, health visitor in PMI) is not required. Moreover, in its brochure to mothers, prompt medical attention is recommended in certain situations (fever, vomiting ...) but without specifying the organization. The pediatric emergency therefore no place, except for emergencies, in the course of care of newborns. But the care pathway proposed by the HAS is it feasible? And it reduces unnecessary use of pediatric emergency?
