Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effects of environmental intervention on growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor 1(IGF-1) in very low birth weight infants in NICU.Methods 60 cases of very low birth weight infants were randomly divided into the experimental group and control group (30 cases in each group) in NICU from June 2012 to June 2013.By adjusting the light,reducing the noise,focusing the nursing time,the levels of growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor-1 were detected and the growth indexes were measured including body weight,length,and head circumference on the 7th day and 14th day.Results The indicators of growth and development in the experimental group on the 7th day and 14th day after birth were significantly better than those of the control group.The IGF-1 level in the experimental group on the 7th day was significantly higher than that of the control group.The GH and IGF-1 level in the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group.Conclusions Effective environmental intervention in NICU can improve the GH and IGF-1 lev-el of very low birth weight infants and improve their quality of life.
