What is “Prehab”?• A preventive mechanism to decrease the risk of injury and/or to optimize your functional ability and quality of life
• Described as “prehabilitation” or “preventive rehab” with the goal of reducing the risk for injury
• Focuses on efforts to decrease the burden on individuals and the healthcare system

Innate Immunity• First line of defense at birth
• Provides immediate protection at a local/cellular level
• Acts with non‐specific responses
• Uses “pro‐inflammatory” mechanisms
• ↑ Vasodilata on, cellular ac va on, vascular permeability, coagulation
• Secondary collateral damage
Adaptive Immunity• Later developed immune response
• Requires exposure to antigens
• Amplifies with repeated exposure
• Highly specific response
• Relies on T & B cells and “memory”
• Elaborate cascade of responses
• More balanced response
• More modulated responses

Dysbiosis is characterized by:
• Low diversity in the microbiome
• Overall reduction in beneficial and/or commensal bacteria
• ↑ Opportunistic pathogens of the gamma‐proteobacteria class
• These factors interact to produce inflammation in the gut, which further perpetuates dysbiosis
• The potential for dysbiosis, limited capacity for localization, and the potential initiation of systemic inflammation
Origin of dysbiosis in preterm infants:
• 37% of pregnant women receiveantibiotics during pregnancy
• 33% receive them in the intrapartum period
• Early or prolonged ROM; maternal stress
• Antenatal steroids → immune system
• 64% of preterm infants delivered via C/S
• 85% of all ELBW infants receive at least one course of broad‐spectrum antibiotics

“Cardiorespiratory function is not only the foremost determinant of
life after premature birth, but also a major factor of long‐term outcomes. However, the path from
placental disconnection tonutritional autonomy is enduring and challenging for the preterm infant and, at each step, will have profound influences on
respiratory physiology and disease”
“…have direct implications on lung tissue composition and cellular functions, thus affect lung
development and homeostasis and contributing to acute and chronic respiratory disorders.”
Neonatal Gut‐Lung Axis
What and How?• Cross between 2 systems
• Premature birth causes interruption
• Lung development / maturation• Exposure to a highly oxidant
environment
• Disruption of the nascent microbiome
• Invasive procedures
• Exposure to hospital microbiota
• Broad‐spectrum antibiotics
• Inflammation modulation
Nutritional Interruption and BPD• Placental insufficiency
• Suboptimal oxygen/nutrient transfer
• Placenta directly influences lung development
• Intrauterine Growth Restriction• <30 weeks with abnormal fetal doppler and
growth 33% incidence BPD compared to 7%
• Overall IUGR 4‐fold ↑ in BPD
• Postnatal malnutrition + hyperoxia induces RV and PA remodeling

“It is not surprising that a “simple” nutritional approach (to the prevention of BPD) such as exclusive human milk feeding has shown an efficacy comparable to single‐target drugs.”

Nutritional support remained correlated with long‐term neurodevelopmental outcomes
The AOR of time to establishment of enteral feeding (with 5‐day increments) for all disabilities suggested that the shorter the time to the establishment of full enteral feeding, the lower the prevalence of abnormal long‐term neurodevelopment outcomes

Neonatal Late‐Onset Sepsis
The “Burden of Sepsis”• Sepsis categorized into two types• Early‐onset sepsis occurs within 3 days after birth
• Late‐onset sepsis occurs between DOL 7 and 10 • Systemic spread of microbes from the intestines, skin of premature infants
• Role of indwelling catheters/tubes• Associations between dysbiosis and LOS• ↑ Risk use of broad‐spectrum antibiotics
• Lack of an accepted international consensus on the definition, diagnosis, and treatment of neonatal sepsis1
39
The “Burden of Neonatal Sepsis”• Developed countries, 4/10 infants with sepsis die/experience major disability (ND)
• Preterm neonates ‐ highest incidence and mortality of sepsis among all age groups
• In the US, 36% of neonates born < 28 weeks have 1 or more BSI during their birth hospitalization with up to a 50% mortality
• Compared to term infants, sepsis in preterm infants is up to 1000‐fold more common

ROP Treatment Options
Photocoagulation
Laser Therapy• First line of defense in ROP
• Much like a retinal exam
• Local or general anesthesia
• Diode laser ophthalmoscope
• Multiple, tiny” burns in/along the periphery of the retina
Cryoplexy
Cryotherapy• Formerly the procedure of choice
• Uses cold temperatures to freeze parts of the affected retina via the outer wall of the eye
• Largely replaced by laser therapy
• Still useful when the retina can't be fully seen (hemorrhage)

BOTH PHOTOCOAGULATION AND CRYOPLEXY DESTROY PART OF THE RETINA’S PERIPHERY AND RESULT IN LOSS OF VISION
ROP: Treatment Options
Anti‐Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor
VEGF• Signal protein that induces growth of blood
vessels in the developing eye
Anti‐VEGF• Works by ↓ VEGF production• Injected directly into the eye• Avastinmost researched in NICU
• Benefits in most severe cases of ROP• Shorter duration of anesthesia, NPO
Anti‐Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor
Anti‐VEGF Costs• Cost of drug < OR, anesthesia, etc.• Not every NICU (stepdown) offers it• ? Transport – away from family• May require anesthesia• Use of intubation/ventilation• ? Risk for cardiac hypertrophy, pulmonary
hypertension → infants with BPD

What is “Prehab”?• A preventive mechanism to decrease the risk of injury and/or to optimize your functional ability and quality of life
• Described as “prehabilitation” or “preventive rehab” with the goal of reducing the risk for injury
• Focuses on efforts to decrease the burden on individuals and the healthcare system
