Study on the Effect of Early Comprehensive Intervention of Skin Contact Combined with Breastfeeding on Improving Blood Glucose in Early Birth of Newborns with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus

Abstract

Objective. To explore the value of early comprehensive intervention of skin contact combined with breastfeeding on improving early blood glucose in newborns with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Methods. A total of 300 newborns from pregnant women with gestational diabetes who were hospitalized in Wuxi People’s Hospital from January 2021 to December 2021 were randomly assigned into the observation group ( $n=150$ ) and the control group ( $n=150$ ). The former group received early comprehensive intervention of skin contact combined with breastfeeding, and the latter group received postnatal naked contact, physical examination after late navel severing, and routine nursing intervention such as early contact and early sucking in 30 min. The peripheral blood microglucose value at 1 and 2 hours after birth, neonatal hospitalization rate, ear temperature of 30 min, 60 min, 90 min, and 120 min after birth, neonatal crying, incidence of postpartum hemorrhage, uterine contraction/wound pain index, lactation before delivery, immediately after delivery, early sucking 15 min, and 2 hours postpartum were observed. Results. Compared to the control group, the values of trace blood glucose at 1 hour and 2 hours after birth in the observation group were higher, and the difference between groups was statistically significant ( $P<0.05$ ), the neonatal hospitalization rate in the observation group was lower, and the difference between groups was statistically significant ( $P<0.05$ ); the ear temperature of 30 min, 60 min, 90 min and 120 min after birth in the observation group was higher, and the difference between groups was statistically significant ( $P<0.05$ ). The crying frequency of newborns in the observation group was lower, and the difference between groups was statistically significant ( $P<0.05$ ). The incidence of postpartum hemorrhage in the observation group was lower, and the difference between groups was statistically significant ( $P<0.05$ ). The rate of uterine contraction/wound pain index grade 1 in the observation group was higher, and the difference between groups was statistically significant ( $P<0.05$ ). The rates of uterine contraction/wound pain index grade 2 and grade 3 in the observation group were lower, and the difference between groups was statistically significant ( $P<0.05$ ). The rate of lactation at 2 hours postpartum in the observation group was higher, and the difference between groups was statistically significant ( $P<0.05$ ). Conclusion. Early comprehensive intervention of skin contact combined with breastfeeding can significantly increase the early blood glucose of newborns with GDM, effectively promote the occurrence of early hypoglycemia of GDM newborns, avoid a series of serious complications caused by excessive fluctuation of blood sugar, promote the stability of vital signs of newborns, reduce the hospitalization rate of newborns, improve the success rate of breastfeeding, reduce uterine contraction/wound pain, and reduce the incidence of postpartum hemorrhage.
