SERIAL CHANGES IN OXYGEN CONSUMPTION (Vo2) OF INFANTS WITH RESPIRATORY DISTRESS SYNDROME (RDS)2

Serial determinations of oxygen profiles in infants with respiratory distress.

Serial oxygen profiles were determined for 20 newborn infants by measuring arterial tensions at low (20--40%), intermediate (60--80%), and high (95--100%) levels of inspired oxygen. These points were plotted on a graph which estimated the percentage of venous admixture at any particular level of inspired oxygen. The infants' oxygen profiles were then determined. As much as 25% of venous admixtu...

Could mean platelet volume predict developing of bronchopulmonary dysplasia in preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome?

Introduction: some studies have suggested correlation between MPV index and inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis in adults. Though bronchopulmonary dysplasia is also an inflammatory disease which develops in preterm neonates with Respiratory distress syndrome, we decided to study the possible correlation between the mean platelet volume (MPV) and the occurrence of bronchopulmonary...

Effective Factors of INSURE Method Failure in Treatment of Respiratory Distress Syndrome in Preterm Infants

Background INtubate-SURfactant-Extubate (INSURE) method is one of the effective methods in treatment of infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). This study was performed to predict risk factors for the failure of  INSURE method in treatment of RDS in preterm infants. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 192 infants who born between July 2011 and April 2016 at women and...

Distending pressure in infants with respiratory distress syndrome.

Baum, J. D., and Roberton, N. R. C. (1974). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 49, 771. Distending pressure in infants with respiratory distress syndrome. The application of distending pressure to 40 babies with the respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is described. Pressures greater than 10 cm H,O were rarely used. On starting distending pressure, considerable improvements in blood gases occurre...
