Management of extremely low‐birth‐weight infants

Acta Paediatrica, 1992
Better health care of women during pregnancy and delivery, improvement in neonatal intensive therapy and technology have led to a decrease in neonatal mortality and morbidity and to lower limits of birth weight and gestational age for survival. This paper refers to the management protocol used in the Department of Perinatal Pathology of the Provincial ...

Outcomes of Extremely Low Birth Weight Infants

Pediatrics, 1996
Background. Our goal was to determine the effects of recent changes in delivery room and neonatal care, including surfactant and dexamethasone therapy, on survival, neonatal morbidity, and 20-month neurodevelopmental outcome of infants with birth weights of less than 750 g. Methods. We compared the outcomes of 114 infants of 500 to 750 g

Fosphenytoin in infants of extremely low birth weight

Pediatric Neurology, 2001
Fosphenytoin, a phosphorylated prodrug of phenytoin, is useful for acute seizures, is given by parenteral administration, and has few cardiac and local irritation adverse effects. There is limited experience in the administration of this new agent to newborns, and concern has been raised regarding the conversion of the prodrug to phenytoin. In two low--

Hyperglycemia in Extremely- Low-Birth-Weight Infants

Neonatology, 1998
The 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 ...

Pulmonary Outcome in Extremely Low Birth Weight Infants

Pediatrics, 2000
Objective.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; &lt;1000 g).Methods.We measured lung mechanics (respiratory frequency,

Urinary acidification in extremely low birth weight infants

Early Human Development, 2002
Premature 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 ...

Necrotizing enterocolitis in the extremely low birth weight infant

Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1994
Improved neonatal management has resulted in an enlarging population of extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants. These infants have a high incidence of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) and a high mortality rate. The authors compared two groups of NEC patients: ELBW infants (< 1,000 g and/or < or = 28 weeks' gestation) and "standard" premature infants (
