Inhaled Nitric Oxide in Preterm Infants Undergoing Mechanical Ventilation
BACKGROUND Bronchopulmonary dysplasia in premature infants is associated with prolonged hospitalization, as well as abnormal pulmonary and neurodevelopmental outcome. In animal models, inhaled nitric oxide improves both gas exchange and lung structural development, but the use of this therapy in infants at risk for bronchopulmonary dysplasia is controversial. METHODS We conducted a randomized...
متن کاملExtremely preterm infants: poor long-term prognosis
Maternal fever and neural tube defects c Maternal hyperthermia during the first trimester seems to contribute to an increased risk for neural tube defects (NTDs). Animal studies in the 1980s suggested that fever might lead to NTDs; in humans, however, this association was harder to confirm. A case-control study was undertaken to investigate an epidemic of NTDs near the Mexican border in Texas. ...
متن کاملOutcome trajectories in extremely preterm infants.
OBJECTIVE Methods are required to predict prognosis with changes in clinical course. Death or neurodevelopmental impairment in extremely premature neonates can be predicted at birth/admission to the ICU by considering gender, antenatal steroids, multiple birth, birth weight, and gestational age. Predictions may be improved by using additional information available later during the clinical cour...
متن کاملThe management of extremely preterm infants
Extreme prematurity is associated with an increased risk of mortality, morbidities and long-term neurodevelopmental impairment. Optimizing prenatal, perinatal and postnatal care is essential to improve long-term outcome of extremely preterm babies. Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) has been associated with a poorer neurological outcome and prenatal care should aim to an optimal balance bet...
متن کاملAdult outcome of extremely preterm infants.
Survival rates for extremely preterm (<28 weeks' gestational age) infants have increased and are approaching 3 in 4 with the advent of modern perinatal and neonatal intensive care. In contrast with some children with chronic diseases such as cystic fibrosis, most survivors of extreme prematurity have no ongoing health issues. However, as a group, they do have higher rates of adverse health outc...
