Filter by:Pulmonary hypertension may develop in premature newborn infants due to impaired lung development. The diagnosis of this disease can actually be made with interventional methods. In this study, we evaluated the importance of echocardiographic examination and blood laboratory tests in diagnosing this disease.
This is a non-randomized, case-controlled trial that evaluates the efficacy of autologous cord blood mononuclear cells(ACBMNC) infusion as a Treatment for BPD. The results of this trial will provide valuable clinical evidence for recommendations on the treatment of BPD in extremely preterm infants. Informed consent before birth is signed. In this prospective clinical trial, preterm neonates less than 28 weeks who previously stored ACBMNC and then suffer BPD will be assigned to be ACBMNC infusion group, while those who do not previously stored ACBMNC or then refuse ACBMNC infusion and suffer BPD will be assigned to be control group. In the ACBMNC infusion group, when BPD occurred, the pre-stored ACBMNC will be removed and rewarmed, and then ACBMNC(5×107 cells /kg) will be intravenously injected within 24 hours. The control group receives standardized treatment without special treatment. The total number of participants is 76 and the same in both groups. The primary outcome is the rate of mortality or ratio of severe BPD at 36 weeks of postmenstrual age or discharge home. The secondary outcomes will include other common preterm complication rate and the number of hospitalizations due to pneumonia within 1 year of postmenstrual age.
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia is a complication of prematurity. Postnatal corticosteroid is used to treat the inflammatory part of this pathology, in particular to wean premature infants from the ventilator at the end of the first month of life. However, this therapy remains controversial because it may induce suboptimal neurocognitive development. Parents of infants who receive postnatal corticosteroid should be provided with information about the risks. The objective of our work was to evaluate the respiratory, neurodevelopmental and growth outcomes at 24 months corrected age of extremely preterm infants who received postnatal corticosteroid.
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is one of the most common, complex, and severe diseases in preterm infants. BPD was first described as chronic pulmonary disease in survivors of severe respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in 1967, which was also called as the "old" BPD. In recent years, the definition for BPD has developed a lot. The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) workshop in 2018 assessed BPD at 36 post-menstrual age (PMA) along with radiographic confirmation and used a severity grading of I-III. Although with effective surfactant supplement and oxygen support, BPD brings a great challenge to neonatologists.
Infants in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) may be lost due to risks such as being sensitive, frequent exposure to birth complications and being prone to infection. The most common causes of mortality in newborn babies in the world; Complications due to preterm delivery (28%), infections (26%) and perinatal asphyxia (23%) were reported. Respiratory problems are observed in 4-6% of newborns. These problems are also important causes of mortality in the neonatal period. Newborn infants are more likely to have respiratory distress due to difficulties in airway calibration, few collateral airways, flexible chest wall, poor airway stability, and low functional residual capacity.Invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) is frequently used in the treatment of newborns with respiratory failure. Various ventilation modes and strategies are used to optimize mechanical ventilation and prevent ventilator-induced lung injury. Among the important issues to be considered in newborns connected to mechanical ventilator (MV); Choosing an appropriately sized endotracheal tube to reduce airway resistance and minimize respiratory workload, correct positioning, regular nursing care, chest physiotherapy, sedation-analgesia, and infection prevention are also included.
Oxygen treatment is common in management of preterm babies requiring intensive care. Delivery of too much or too little oxygen increase the risk of damage to eyes and lungs, and contributes to death and disability. Oxygen control in preterm infants requires frequent adjustments in the amount of oxygen delivered to the baby. This is generally performed manually by a clinician attending the baby, and generally directed to maintaining a specific range of blood oxygen saturation. The manual control often results in only half of the time in the specified range, with the baby experiencing high and low blood oxygen saturations. The technology being studied is designed to assist the clinician in maintaining blood oxygen saturation within target range by measuring oxygen saturation and automatically adjusting the amount of oxygen delivered for babies receiving high velocity nasal insufflation (an advanced form of high flow oxygen therapy). The proposed study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of the automatic control of oxygen by the new technology, as compared to manual control, among babies receiving high velocity therapy in a neonatal intensive care unit.
In preterm infants with neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), exogenous pulmonary surfactant(PS) replacement therapy is one of the most important therapeutic breakthrough to reduce neonatal incidences of bronchopulmonary dysplasia(BPD) and/or death. But not all preterm infants with RDS can be beneficial. Otherwise, the international neonatal acute RDS (NARDS) collaborative group provides the first consensus definition for NARDS in 2017. And whether or not PS being beneficial in preterm infants with NARDS remains unknown.
Assess the impact of steroid, diuretic, and fluid practices on BPD outcomes in extreme premature infants in the Banner - University Medical Center Phoenix (BUMCP) neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
Preterm infants have high and prolonged exposure to positive pressure ventilation, which contributes to acute lung injury and the development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Despite the risk of diaphragmatic dysfunction in infants with BPD, the effect of prolonged ventilator support on the diaphragmatic function of preterm infants has not been well characterized. Hence, we aim to characterize the diaphragmatic function of very preterm neonates with BPD who are corrected to ≥ 36 weeks using bedside ultrasound in comparison to healthy newborns born at ≥ 36 weeks gestation.
