Hyperoxia in the term newborn: more evidence is still needed for optimal oxygen therapy.
نویسنده
چکیده
It took more than 30 years from the first observations that oxygen may be toxic during resuscitation till international guidelines changed to recommend that term and near term newborn infants should be resuscitated with air instead of 100% oxygen. There are still a number of unanswered questions related to oxygen therapy of the newborn infant. The newborn brain, lungs and other organs are susceptible to oxygen injury, and newborns still develop injury caused by hyperoxia.

Effect of normobaric hyperoxia on gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicity in rats
Objective(s):Gentamicin sulphate (GS) nephrotoxicity seems to be related to the generation of reactive oxygen species. There is evidence that oxygen preconditioning increases the activity of antioxidant enzymes. Materials and Methods: Forty eight female rats were divided into 6 groups (n=8) as follows: group 1 was the control, group 2 received daily GS, groups 3,4 and 5 received oxygen 2 hr/day...
متن کاملInhibitory effects of repeated hyperoxia on breathing in newborn mice.
Brief oxygen therapy is commonly used for resuscitation at birth or prevention of hypoxaemia before procedures during the neonatal period. However, O(2) may severely depress breathing, especially when administered repeatedly. The aim of the present study was to test the effects of repeated hyperoxia on breathing control in newborn mice. A total of 97 Swiss mouse pups were assigned to O(2) or ai...

متن کاملMisuse of oxygen in a neonatal unit.
Oxygen is the most liberally and often used medication in any neonatal unit. Appropriate oxygen therapy has resulted in improved neonatal survival and a reduction in oxygen-related morbidity over the past 2 decades. However, the degree of arterial oxygenation needs to be continuously and precisely monitored when managing critically ill neonates in order to prevent the adverse effects of both ...
متن کاملHypoxia and hyperoxia potentiate PAF receptor‐mediated effects in newborn ovine pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells: significance in oxygen therapy of PPHN
Platelet-activating factor (PAF) acting via its receptor (PAFR) is implicated in the pathogenesis of persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN). Effects of long-term oxygen therapy on newborn lung are not well understood; therefore, we studied the effect of oxygen tension on ovine newborn pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (NBPASMC). Our global hypothesis is that PPHN results fro...
