942 CONGENITAL CARDIOGENIC SHOCK AS A RESULT OF PERINATAL ASPHYXIA

mumps myocarditis as a cause of neonatal cardiogenic shock

the mothers may be infected during pregnancy with infectious agents. mumps induced myocarditis, especially endocardial fibroelastosis, was previously a common disease of infants but is rare now. a 25 day old male infant admitted to the intensive care of our hospital because of cardiogenic shock. further studies revealed ischemic electrocardiograms, poor ventricular function, and positive result...

Neurological Complications of Perinatal Asphyxia

The degree of asphyxia is best ascertained by measuring the amount of fetal acidosis determined by umbilical arterial blood. An umbilical arterial pH of less than 7.0 is seen in about 0.3% of deliveries.1 It indicates a severity of acidosis that places the fetus at risk for permanent neurological damage because of asphyxia. However, the outcome of infants with umbilical cord pH of less than 7.0...

MRS of Perinatal Asphyxia Daniel

Introduction Magnetic resonance spectroscopy provides the noninvasive detection of a number of important cellular metabolites and has become a valuable research and clinical tool to monitor normal and abnormal metabolism in the newborn brain [1-20]. Both phosphorus and proton MRS have been applied in pediatric studies, with the majority of the studies being proton MRS due to its greater inheren...

Cardiogenic shock.

The syndrome of cardiogenic shock (CS) comprises a constellation of symptoms and signs that define a subset of patients with inadequate tissue perfusion secondary to myocardial dysfunction. Careful attention to and rapid identification of patients at risk for the development of CS and those with impending CS by both hospitalists and subspecialists will help to implement the time-sensitive thera...
