POOR postnatal growth of preterm neonates
continues to be a major problem. Intrauterine growth retardation is an additional risk factor in the growth of preterm infants. Breast milk is considered as the best food for the neonates due to its several nutritional and immunologic advantages but this has been well established that(1,2) human milk is an inadequate source of protein and minerals for growing premature babies. Very low birth we...
متن کاملEarly dexamethasone therapy in preterm infants: a follow-up study.
OBJECTIVES To study the outcome at 2-year corrected age of infants who participated in a double-blind controlled trial of early (<12 hours) dexamethasone therapy for the prevention of chronic lung disease (CLD). METHODS AND MATERIALS A total of 133 children (70 in the control group, 63 in the dexamethasone-treated group) who survived the initial study period and lived to 2 years of age were s...
متن کاملHigh alkaline phosphatase activity and growth in preterm neonates.
In a study on 857 infants born preterm, high peak plasma alkaline phosphatase activity was independently related to slower growth rate in the neonatal period, and to a highly significant reduction in attained length at 9 months and 18 months post term. At 18 months the deficit in body length associated with peak neonatal plasma alkaline phosphase activity of 1200 IU/l or more was 1.6 cm (95% co...
متن کاملTemperature instability during nursing procedures in preterm neonates.
The temperature changes associated with total care nursing procedures were studied on 249 occasions during the first week of life in 25 preterm infants weighing less than 1500 g, 16 of whom weighed less than 1100 g. Large drops in both central and peripheral temperature occurred, with widening of the central-peripheral temperature gap. Recovery of the temperature after the total care procedure ...
متن کاملComparison of Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Therapy with and without Prophylactic Surfactant in Preterm Neonates
Background: Preterm labor is at risk for respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) and sometimes requires to mechanical ventilation (MV) and surfactant therapy. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and Nasal Continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) are the methods of respiratory support especially for using in RDS of neonates. In other method surfactant is administered to babies via tracheal...
