Prescription drug dependency is harming pregnant
women and their infants at alarming rates. Dr. Chloe
Salzmann, CGH Pediatrician, will be talking about our
new effort to educate pregnant women about the risks
of Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome and opioid use during
pregnancy on August 24 at 6:00 p.m. in the Ryberg
Auditorium as a part of the Growing Healthier Speaker
Series.
“Protecting Our Infants is the name of a new educational
effort being sponsored by the CGH Health Foundation, in
partnership with the CGH OB department and CGH Main
Clinic Pediatrics,” said Joan Hermes, Executive Director
of the CGH Health Foundation. “The alliance is designed to inform pregnant women and the
public about the risks involved in use of legal and illegal opioid drugs.”
Retail pharmacy prescriptions for opioids, such as the pain medications Hydrocodone and
Oxycodone have increased more than 50 percent since 1991, with nearly a quarter of a
billion prescriptions filled in 2013. Nationally, the number of pregnant women using opioids
increased fivefold from 2000 to 2009, while the number of infants with withdrawal symptoms
almost tripled.
Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS), also known as neonatal withdrawal syndrome, is a set
of distressing physical symptoms in infants born to mothers who took opioids or other drugs
during pregnancy. National surveillance studies have demonstrated that the incidence of
NAS increased from 1.2 per 1,000 hospital births in 2000 to 5.8 per 1,000 births in 2012 - a 70%
increase in only 4 years. In 2012, the NAS rate for the Midwest states (including Illinois) was 6.9
per 1,000 hospital births.
The signs and symptoms for NAS can range from mild to severe and may include:
•
Body shakes (tremors), seizures (convulsions), overactive reflexes (twitching) and tight muscle tone
•
Fussiness, excessive crying or having a high-pitched cry
•
Poor feeding, poor sucking or slow weight gain
•
Breathing really fast
•
Fever, sweating or blotchy skin
•
Trouble sleeping and lots of
yawning
•
Diarrhea or throwing up
•
Stuffy nose or sneezing
