Adrenocortical Function in Preterm Infants
Adrenal hormones are essential for the timely differentiation and maturation of fetal organs and the regulation of intrauterine homeostasis. These hormones play com plex roles during fetal life, and they are believed to provide the cellular communi cation that coordinates maternalfetal interactions. Cortisol serves to modulate functional adaptations for extrauterine life in the perinatal per...
متن کاملEarly aggressive nutrition in very preterm infants.
Despite numerous advances in the nutrition of preterm infants, the increasing survival at lower birth weights is resulting in a new frontier of extrauterine nutritional support of these vulnerable infants. The extremely low birth weight infant has endogenous energy to maintain energy balance for only 3-4 days without an exogenous energy supply. Nevertheless, many clinicians are still hesitant t...
متن کاملModerately preterm, late preterm and early term infants: research needs.
In spite of increased appreciation that all preterm infants and early term infants are at higher risk for mortality and morbidities compared with their term counterparts, there are many knowledge gaps affecting optimal clinical care for this vulnerable population. This article presents a research agenda focusing on the systems biology, epidemiology, and clinical and translational sciences on th...
متن کاملEarly administration of indomethacin to preterm infants.
Indomethacin (0.2 mg/kg) or saline was given intravenously during the first 24 hours to 50 preterm infants in a double blind controlled trial. Eight of the control group later required treatment with indomethacin for clinical signs of left to right shunt, but only one in the treatment group (p = 0.03). Treatment with indomethacin prolonged bleeding time, raised serum creatinine concentrations, ...
متن کاملThe efficacy and safety of two different doses of caffeine in respiratory function of preterm infants
Background: Caffeine is widely used for prevention of apnea and helps successful extubation from mechanical ventilation. It facilitates the transition from invasive to noninvasive support and reduces duration of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in preterm infants. The optimum caffeine dose in preterm infants has not been well-studied in terms of benefits and risks. We compared efficac...
