Treprostinil for persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn, with early onset sepsis in preterm infant
RATIONALE Persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN) is a syndrome of failed circulatory adaptation at birth with persisting increased pulmonary vascular resistance that is associated with high mortality rates especially in preterm infants. PATIENT CONCERNS We reported 2 cases of PPHN in preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome and early onset sepsis refractory to thera...
متن کاملMedication Therapy for Early-Onset Neonatal Sepsis.
S sepsis is a common cause of morbidity and mortality in neonates. In a population-based surveillance study1 from 2005 to 2008, researchers estimated that 3300 cases of early-onset sepsis (EOS) occur in the United States each year, with 390 of these cases resulting in death. The risk is highest in preterm neonates, which account for 1570 of the 3300 cases and 360 deaths.1 Despite its prevalence...
متن کاملThe conundrum of early-onset sepsis.
In an ideal world, the practice of medicine would be based on scientific studies guiding the decisions involved in the care of an individual patient. However, clinicians must frequently rely on observational studies and the experiences of other practitioners (the “art of medicine”) because high-quality randomized clinical trials are not available. Within the field of pediatrics, nowhere is that...
متن کاملThe predictive score for early-onset neonatal sepsis.
The aim of the present study was to analyze complete blood count (CBC) and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels to create the predictive score for diagnosis of early-onset neonatal sepsis (EONS). All neonates treated for suspected EONS between January 2004 and December 2006 were evaluated from their case record. A diagnosis of EONS was made if either clinical findings consistent with sepsis develope...
متن کاملAssociation between umbilical cord blood laboratory findings with early onset neonatal sepsis
Backgrounds: Finding an efficient biomarker or combination of them as predictors of early-onset neonatal sepsis is very important. On the other hand, the use of umbilical cord blood samples in laboratory tests, along with its simplicity and availability, reflects neonate metabolic status. Background and Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the association between umbilical cord bloo...
