Hyperglycemia in Extremely- Low-Birth-Weight Infants
Neonatology, 1998The cause of hyperglycemia in extremely-low-birth-weight (ELBW) infants is not well understood. We studied infants weighing <1,000 g to investigate the relationship of hyperglycemia to blood levels of insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I and IGF-II. We also compared two methods of treatment for hyperglycemia: continuous insulin infusion and reduction ...

Insulin Infusions in Extremely Low Birth Weight Infants
Pediatrics, 2000To the Editor. We read with interest the article by Fuloria et al on insulin infusions in extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants.1The authors concluded that priming the tubing with a higher concentration of insulin (5 U/mL) before the initiation of a standard insulin infusion therapy should accelerate the achievement of steady-state insulin ...

Insulin homeostasis in the extremely low birth weight infant
Seminars in Perinatology, 2001The need to improve the nutritional status of extremely low birth weight infants has resulted in a higher incidence of problems related to glucose intolerance. The inability of the newborn to inhibit gluconeogenesis in response to a glucose infusion has been postulated as an important determinant of the hyperglycemia observed in extremely low birth ...

Pulmonary Outcome in Extremely Low Birth Weight Infants
Pediatrics, 2000Objective.To determine whether infants with hyaline membrane disease (HMD) superimposed on immature lung disease (ILD) have more abnormal lung function and respiratory drive during the evolution of chronic neonatal lung disease (CNLD) in extremely low birth weight infants (ELBW; <1000 g).Methods.We measured lung mechanics (respiratory frequency,

Urinary acidification in extremely low birth weight infants
Early Human Development, 2002Premature infants often present metabolic acidosis without protein load in the early neonatal period, around days 4-6. In order to elucidate the cause of acidosis, we investigated urinary acidification of infants in the early neonatal period. Urine pH, fractional excretion of HCO(3)(-) (FEHCO(3)), excretion of HCO(3)(-) and NH(4)(+) of the appropriate ...

Retinopathy of Prematurity in Extremely Low Birth Weight Infants
Pediatrics, 1995Objective. To review the survival rate, the incidence and severity of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), and the rate of blindness caused by ROP in extremely low birth weight (ELBW, birth weight 500 to 999 g) infants born between January 1, 1977, and December 31, 1992, and to determine whether increasing survival rates of ELBW infants are accompanied by

ENERGY EXPENDITURE IN THE EXTREMELY LOW-BIRTH WEIGHT INFANT
Clinics in Perinatology, 2000Information about energy requirements of extremely low-birth weight infants is sparse, despite the rapidly improving survival rates of this population. Metabolizable energy intake can be estimated from energy balance studies and the percentage of caloric intake that is actually absorbed by these infants is approximately 87%.

Spinal anesthesia in an extremely low birth weight infant
Pediatric Anesthesia, 2005SummaryA case of spinal anesthesia in an extremely low birth weight male infant (body weight of 930 g at time of surgery) is presented. He was born prematurely at a gestational age of 27 weeks because of a placenta tumor and had to undergo inguinal herniotomy at 34 weeks postconceptional age.
