Triple antibiotic spray application to umbilical cords.

A C Elias-Jones

    Early Human Development
    |June 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    Tribiotic spray significantly reduced umbilical cord infections in newborns when applied at birth or daily. While well-tolerated, the antibiotic treatment caused a slight delay in umbilical cord separation.

    Area of Science:

    • Neonatal care
    • Infectious disease prevention
    • Dermatology

    Background:

    • Umbilical cord infections pose a risk to newborns.
    • Antibiotic prophylaxis is a strategy to prevent neonatal infections.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of Tribiotic spray in preventing umbilical cord infections.
    • To assess the safety and tolerability of Tribiotic spray in newborns.

    Main Methods:

    • A clinical trial involving 402 newborns.
    • Application of Tribiotic spray as a single dose or daily regimen.
    • Comparison with a control group receiving no antibiotic treatment.

    Main Results:

    • Significant reduction in umbilical cord infections observed in the Tribiotic spray groups.
    • Tribiotic spray was well-tolerated by the newborns.
    • Delayed umbilical cord separation was noted as a side effect.

    Conclusions:

    • Tribiotic spray is effective in reducing neonatal umbilical cord infections.
    • The benefits of Tribiotic spray in infection prevention outweigh the side effect of delayed cord separation.
    • Further research may explore optimal application protocols and management of delayed separation.
