Abstract:
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic upon the health care landscape has prompted many organizations to revise policies in response to ever-changing guidelines and recommendations regarding safe breastfeeding practices. The application of these professional guidelines into clinical practice is fraught with barriers, inconsistencies, and often-minimal evidential support. Key concerns for health care providers and patients include antenatal versus postnatal transmission, milk transmission, and separation care versus rooming-in, including the subsequent impacts upon breastfeeding and bonding. While SARS-CoV-2 is a novel virus, the volume of literature to support best practice for couplet care continues to be developed at a rapid pace. The benefits of breastfeeding are steeped in evidence and outweigh the potential risk of transmission of COVID-19 from mother to newborn. Health care organizations must continue to seek guidance for policy revision within the ever-growing body of evidence for best practice and evaluate current practices for feasibility during and after hospitalization.
摘要:
COVID-19大流行对医疗保健领域的影响促使许多组织修订政策,以应对不断变化的关于安全母乳喂养做法的指导方针和建议。这些专业指南在临床实践中的应用充满了障碍,不一致,和通常很少的证据支持。医疗保健提供者和患者的主要问题包括产前传播和产后传播,牛奶传播,和分离护理与同居,包括对母乳喂养和粘合的后续影响。SARS-CoV-2是一种新型病毒,支持对联护理最佳实践的大量文献继续迅速发展。母乳喂养的好处有证据表明,超过了COVID-19从母亲传播给新生儿的潜在风险。卫生保健组织必须继续在不断增长的最佳实践证据中寻求政策修订的指导,并在住院期间和住院后评估当前实践的可行性。
