ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effect of early application of pediauic amino acids on extrauterine growth and development of preterm and small for gestational age infants.Methods A total of 106preterm and small for gestational age infants was selected in our NICU from June 2011 to May 2013,and randomly divided into two groups:treatment group (group T) and control group (group C).Next,each group was divided into two subgroups according to gestational age and birth weight.Such as ≥34W group (group T1,group C1),＜ 34W group (group T2,group C2),＜ 1.5 kg group (group T3,group C3) and ≥ 1.5 kg group (group T4,group C4).They were observed the effect of extrauterine growth and correlative serum biochemical indicators with application of pediatric amino acid in postnatal 6 hours and 12 hours.Resuits After 2-week treatment,the head circumference and weight growth of group T were higher than that of group C (P ＜ 0.05,or P ＜ 0.01),and the time of birth weight recovery was significantly shortened(P ＜ 0.05,or P ＜ 0.01).The incidence rate of extrauterine growth retardation(EUGR) in the group T was lower than that in group C,there is significantly statistical differences(P ＜ 0.01).The concentration of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) in group T was obviously increased than that in the group C(P ＜0.01).The levels of ALT,aspartate aminotransferase (AST),total bilirubin (TBIL),cholesterol (CH) and triglycerides (TG) were not different between the group T and group C.The comparison of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels were statistically significant between group C4 and group T4.In the different gestational age groups,the concentration of BUN in group T was obviously higher than that in the group C after 2-week treatment(P ＜0.05),the levels of AST,TBIL,CH and TG were not different between the group T and group C (P ＞ 0.05).The incidence rate of EUGR in the 4th group C was increased significantly than that in the 4th group T(P ＜0.05).Conclusions The preterm and small for gestational age infants were safe after the pediatric amino acid was used at the 6 h after birth.Amino acid can promote growth of head circumference and weight,shorten the birth weight recovery time and reduce the incidence of EUGR.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effectives of high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV)in the treatment of severe NRDS.Methods The severe NRDS who failed to response to conventional mechanical ventilation (CMV) were changed to HFOV treatment.Ventilator parameters and blood gas analysis were compared before and after treatment.Results Among thirty patients,19 cases were significantly improved and 11 cases were failed,the success rate was 63％.Nineteen patients with HFOV,the main ventilator parameters and blood gas results such as FiO2 ( 0 h:0.87 ± 0.09 vs 3 h:0.67 ± 0.10,6 h:0.54 ±0.08,12h:0.44 ±0.08),MAP[0 h:(14.47 ±1.17) mbar vs 3 h:(13.79 ± 1.03) mbar,6 h:(13.26 ±1.05) mbar,12 h:( 12.37 ±0.83) mbar],f[0 h:(7.26 ±0.56) Hz vs 3 h:(7.89 ±0.57) Hz,6 h:(8.42±0.51 ) Hz,12 h:(9.26 ±0.45) Hz] and PaCO2 [0 h:(9.69 ±0.86) kPa vs 3 h:(6.00 ±0.55) kPa,6 h:(5.62 ± 1.03)kPa,12 h:(5.47 ±0.55)kPa] were decreased while pH(0 h:7.21 ±0.06 vs 3 h:7.35 ±0.07,6 h:7.39 ±0.07,12 h:7.40 ±0.06) and PaO2[0 h:(5.46 ±0.82)kPa vs 3 h:(7.92 ± 1.13)kPa,6 h:(9.25 ± 0.99)kPa,12 h:(9.20 ± 0.96)kPa] were significantly increased compared with before treatment ( P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The patients of severe NRDS who failed to response to CMV were treated with HFOV,some patients received a significant effect with HFOV treatment.
