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 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 کاملMinerals and extremely low birth weight infants
The 80% of bone mineralisation occurs in the third trimester of pregnancy. The daily fetal requirement is 310 mg of calcium and 170 mg of phosphorus [1]. The bone mineral density (BMD) correlates positively with gestational age, weight and length [2]. At birth, extremely premature infants (ELBWI)canpresent hypocalcaemia because of interruption of the maternal calcium supply, high level of calci...
