Diaphragmatic plication in the extremely low birth weight infant

Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 2000
A case of acquired diaphragmatic paralysis in an extremely low birth weight infant complicated by respiratory failure, recurrent atelectasis, and pneumonia is described. Diaphragmatic plication led to a rapid improvement in pulmonary function and allowed for discontinuation of mechanical ventilation in less than 1 week. Therapeutic options for acquired

Major changes in obstetric and neonatal care in the 1990s have led to decrease in mortality and morbidity for very low birth weight (VLBW) infants. However these changes have reached a plateau and that is a cause for concern. There has to be a constant introspection by the health care givers so as to ensure state-of-the-art, evidence based care for ...

Permissive Hyperglycemia in Extremely Low Birth Weight Infants

Journal of Korean Medical Science, 2013
The aim of this study is to evaluate the outcomes of permissive hyperglycemia up to < 300 mg/dL in extremely-low-birth-weight infants (ELBWIs). We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 260 live-born ELBWIs at Samsung Medical Center between 2004 and 2008, grouped according to peak blood glucose level and management during the first 14 days of ...

Ventilatory management in extremely low birth weight infants

McGill Journal of Medicine, 2020
The improvement in survival in premature infants associated with the evolution of mechanical ventilation has been accompanied by an increase in ventilator induced lung injury. High frequency ventilation has been shown to reduce the incidence of ventilator induced lung injury and hence chronic lung disease in the very low birth weight infant.

Italian Journal of Pediatrics, 2015
Hypothyroxinemia of prematurity (HOP) is a transient alteration in thyroid hormone availabilityfound in more than half of extremely low birth weight infants (ELBW) born at less than 30 weeks [1]. HOP is characterized by very low total T4 (TT4) and free T4 (FT4) levels with a normal or low thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH); TT4 and FT4 show a nadir at 7-
