Filter by:To conduct clinical interventions directed at neonatal lung disease and injury, with a focus on infants having surfactant-deficiency or inactivation as a component of pathophysiology. A major emphasis was on the surfactant-deficient Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS) of premature infants, and on acute neonatal respiratory failure in term infants with pulmonary edema and potential surfactant inactivation (ARDS-related).
To establish in children born prematurely a set of links between lung function in late infancy and lung function at school age, between lung function at school age and that in adolescence, and between lung function in adolescence and that in adulthood in order to evaluate pulmonary outcomes of neonatal therapeutic strategies and to relate these strategies to lung health in adult life.
To determine the impact of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) on childhood development, family functioning, and parental stress.
To identify risk factors for bronchopulmonary dysplasia/chronic pulmonary disease of prematurity and to estimate proportions of this group of disorders attributable to antenatal risk factors, perinatal events, and neonatal care procedures.
To investigate risk factors in bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and to elucidate the relationship between BPD, acute lung disease severity, respiration-related variables, water balance, nutrition, familial predisposition, and environmental, pregnancy, and delivery parameters.
To measure the cardiopulmonary function in individuals who developed bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) at Stanford University Medical Center from 1964-1973 and to determine the factors associated with the presence of cardiopulmonary function abnormalities in these adolescents and young adults.
OBJECTIVES: I. Describe the psychosocial response of parents and caretakers who learn cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) techniques for infants at high risk for respiratory or cardiac arrest. II. Compare the effect of 4 methods of CPR instruction on psychosocial response. III. Evaluate a psychological intervention based on social support theory designed to offset the potential adverse psychological outcomes of CPR instruction. IV. Evaluate a self-paced CPR learning module using the principles of adult learning theory. V. Document the level of CPR knowledge and skill retention over time. VI. Document the frequency of CPR and its outcome following a witnessed respiratory or cardiac arrest.
OBJECTIVES: I. Compare the efficacy of dexamethasone (DM) vs. DM/methylprednisolone treatment vs. placebo, initiated within the first month of life, on long-term pulmonary and developmental outcomes in premature infants with evolving bronchopulmonary dysplasia. II. Compare the toxicities of these treatments. III. Assess treatment effects on adrenal function.
OBJECTIVES: I. Estimate the efficacy of cortisol replacement therapy during the first 12 days of life for prevention of bronchopulmonary dysplasia. II. Estimate the effect of cortisol replacement therapy on the signs of acute adrenal insufficiency. III. Evaluate the effects of cortisol replacement therapy on adrenal hormone concentrations and on the ability of the adrenal gland to respond to ACTH. IV. Determine the effect of this replacement therapy on markers of inflammation in lung lavage fluid and peripheral blood leukocytes.
To test if inhaled glucocorticoids, early in the course of respiratory failure in premature infants, permit normal lung growth and differentiation, thus preventing development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia.
