Apnea of Prematurity
ثبت نشده
چکیده
In premature infants without respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), AOP may occur on the first day of life, but it may not present for several days in infants with RDS. Many perinatal and postnatal complications increase the infant’s risk of developing AOP, including central nervous system insult or injury, respiratory insult or injury, metabolic disease, sepsis, congenital defects, inborn errors of metabolism, birth trauma, and maternal substance use (including smoking and alcohol consumption). Some evidence supports heredity as a risk factor.

survival rate was significantly better in babies with apnea of prematurity (69.2%) as compared to those with infection and apnea (23.1%). When compared to infection (all cases) where the survival rate was 60%, infection with apnea had a significantly poorer outcome (p <0.05) indicating thereby that apnea is a manifestation of severe sepsis(4). Apnea of prematurity and fewer episodes (between 1 ...
متن کاملApnea of prematurity
Apnea of prematurity (AOP) is one of the most frequent pathologies in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, with an incidence inversely related to gestational age. Its etiology is often multi factorial and diagnosis of idiopathic forms requires exclusion of other underlying diseases. Despite being a selflimiting condition which regresses with the maturation of the newborn, possible long-term effect...
