STUDY DESIGN The GMs of nineteen infants were assessed on days 2, 4, 6, 10 and 14 with Prechtl's method. Additionally, detailed GM assessment produced optimality scores (OS...
متن کاملPulmonary Hemorrhage (PH) in Extremely Low Birth Weight (ELBW) Infants: Successful Treatment with Surfactant.
We report a case of an extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infant presenting with pulmonary hemorrhage (PH) in which we have given surfactant after an acute episode of bleeding with severe intractable hypoxemia. Surfactant replacement therapy showed improvement in Mean Airway Pressure (MAP) and oxygenation indices. Our case suggests that surfactant replacement therapy is useful in PH.
متن کاملDoes Extremely Low Birth Weight Predispose to Low-Renin Hypertension?
Low birth weight and prematurity are risk factors for hypertension in adulthood. Few studies in preterm or full-term born children reported on plasma renin activity (PRA). We tested the hypothesis that renin might modulate the incidence of hypertension associated with prematurity. We enrolled 93 prematurely born children with birth weight <1000 g and 87 healthy controls born at term, who were a...
متن کاملHypothyroxinemia in extremely low birth weight infants
Hypothyroxinemia of prematurity (HOP) is a transient alteration in thyroid hormone availabilityfound in more than half of extremely low birth weight infants (ELBW) born at less than 30 weeks [1]. HOP is characterized by very low total T4 (TT4) and free T4 (FT4) levels with a normal or low thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH); TT4 and FT4 show a nadir at 7-10 days of life and they may remained low ...
متن کاملBest Strategies against Respiratory Problems in Extremely Low Birth Weight Infants
Background Neonatology has evolved with respect to the needs of premature infants for special care. One of the major problems in premature infants is that their lungs are not developed adequately to fulfill newborns’ needs. There is a broad spectrum of strategies for management of respiratory problems in premature infants. In this study, we aimed to determine the best Strategies against Respira...
