Hyperkalemia in very low birth weight infants

The Journal of Pediatrics, 1992
To assess the frequency and pathogenesis of hyperkalemia in the very low birth weight infant.Infants who weighed less than 1000 gm at birth were prospectively entered into the study within 12 hours of birth. Potential risk factors for hyperkalemia were assessed.

Physiology of Infants With Very Low Birth Weight

Seminars in Pediatric Surgery, 2000
Advances in neonatal management have resulted in dramatic increases in survival in infants with birth weights less than 1,500 g. Extensive basic science and clinical research has led to a more comprehensive understanding of the physiological differences between the VLBW infant and larger neonates. Meticulous attention must be paid to appropriate fluid,

MALFORMATIONS IN INFANTS OF VERY LOW BIRTH WEIGHT

Medical Journal of Australia, 1977
The incidence of lethal, serious and trivial malformations was determined in a consecutive series of 675 infants who weightd 1500 g or less (very low birth weight infants). All patients were born in one maternity hospital. Most of the 169 survivors were followed until at least five years of age.

Breastfeeding of Very Low Birth Weight Infants

Journal of Human Lactation, 1998
This research examines the rate of breastfeeding among mothers of very low birth weight infants (VLBW, <1500 grams), and the correlates of breast milk pumping and transition to nursing at the breast. Eighty-two mothers and their 69 singleton and 21 twin VLBW infants admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (January 1-June 30, 1995) of an urban ...

Osteomalacia of Very-Low-Birth-Weight Infants

Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, 1984
Neonatal osteomalacia has received scant attention in the orthopedic literature, despite a reported incidence of 13-32% in very-low-birth-weight infants. This retrospective study focused on the calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D metabolism of 10 surviving infants up to 28 weeks old born over a 30-month period.

Very-Low-Birth-Weight Infants

Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1989
Sir .—In the January 1989 issue of AJDC , Georgieff et al 1 report on more aggressive early neonatal nutritional management, changes in cardiopulmonary management, and a lower incidence of chronic disease in 1986 compared with 1982. This has promoted earlier onset of, and a more rapid rate of, postnatal growth that extends to the first year of follow ...

Nutrition in Very Very Low Birth Weight Infants

Clinics in Perinatology, 1986
The VVLBW infant's limited nutritional reserves, high requirements for normal growth and development, and gastrointestinal immaturity pose a particularly challenging nutritional problem. Given the potential consequences of inadequate or inappropriate nutritional management, we are obligated to make nutrition a high priority in the overall care of VVLBW

Outcome of Very Very Low Birth Weight Infants

Clinics in Perinatology, 1986
This review of the literature and selected unpublished data documents normal early outcome in 50 to 81 per cent of tiny infants. Educational outcome described by a few studies is less encouraging, with only 32 to 36 per cent considered normal. Each study investigated the contribution of different perinatal, environmental, or social variables, therefore

Feeding the Very Low-Birth-Weight Infant

Pediatrics In Review, 1993
Unfortunately, premature birth occurs commonly in the United States. Improving the survival of very low-birth-weight (VLBW) infants depends in large part upon understanding the physiologic capabilities of their immature organ systems and providing appropriate support as they mature.

Rickets in very low-birth-weight infants

The Journal of Pediatrics, 1980
THE ASSOCIATION of rickets with prematurity has received increased attention in the past ten years because of the improved survival rates and increasing numbers of observations in very low-birth-weight infants. '-7 Calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D deficiency have been implicated as causative factors in these infants, many of whom have illnesses ...
