Title: The study on the impact of swimming therapy to the newborn development and metabolism ABSTRACT Objective: Explore "the newborn swimming" (swimming therapy) and the growth and development of newborn babies, analyzes the relationship between promote metabolism indicators of the clinical value.Methods: From January 2008 to March 2010 from neonatal randomly divided into two groups, normal neonatal pure bath group (control group) patients, of whom 800 cases, and cesarean section natural labor 200 cases; Normal swim group (the team) newborn 1200 cases, of which 950 cases of natural labor 250 cases, cesarean section. Record neonatal weight change, tire and row time, early lower birth weight babies weight and NBNA score; Determination of neonatal bilirubin and gastrointestinal dysfunction value.Results: Two groups of birth weight 5 d, when significantly, P < 0.01; The results showed that between the two groups, the added value of weight every day before and after swimming NBNA score and the gastrointestinal dysfunction (constipation, overflowing with milk, the incidence of abdominal distension) are statistically significant (P < 0.05), two groups of neonatal infection. There are no umbilical plexus Two groups of neonatal trading card games (TCGS) are significant index change.Conclusion: Neonatal swimming (swimming) can promote the healing of the newborn growth and development, reduce jaundice.Keywords: Neonatal swimming function; Premature; Low birth weight; The perinatal period; growth Type: experimental research
