متن کاملVery-Low-Birthweight Infants at
To determine whether history of chronic lung disease (CLD) in children born at very low birthweight (VLBW) confers additional risk for impaired health, growth, and neurodevelopment, 17 VLBW children born in 1984 who had CLD (requiring supplemental oxygen more than 30 days after birth) in infancy and 28 VLBW children who did not have CLD were assessed at age 7 years. Assessments included a medic...
متن کاملPulmonary artery pressure changes in the very low birthweight infant developing chronic lung disease.
Pulmonary artery pressure may be estimated non-invasively in the premature newborn infant because of its negative correlation with the time to peak velocity:right ventricular ejection time (TPV:RVET) ratio calculated from the pulmonary artery Doppler waveform. We studied 54 very low birthweight infants on days 1, 2, 3, 7, 14, 21, and 28 after birth. Thirty four infants developed chronic lung di...
