Fluid intake and central venous pressure within 4 days after birth in very low birth weight premature infants complicated with bronchopulmonary dysplasia / 中国新生儿科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the characteristics of fluid intake and central venous pressure (CVP) within 4 days after birth in very low birth weight (VLBW) premature infants complicated with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD).Method From February 2015 to March 2019,VLBW preterm infants without serious complications were enrolled in two hospitals.Their CVP were measured every 4 ～ 6 hours after birth.They were assigned into BPD group and non-BPD group,and the fluid intake and CVP within 4 days after birth were compared between these two groups.Result A total of 45 VLBW preterm infants were included,including 17 in the BPD group and 28 in the non-BPD group.The fluid intake in the BPD group showed no significant difference with the non-BPD group within 4 days after birth (P ＞ 0.05).No significant correlation existed between the mean liquid intake and the mean CVP in 1 ～ 4 days after birth (r =0.093,P=0.542).From day1 to day4,the CVPs of the BPD group were (3.97 ± 0.68),(4.49 ± 0.75),(4.55 ± 0.66),(4.02 ± 1.05) cmH2O,and the non-BPD group were (3.66 ± 1.09),(3.96 ±0.76),(3.81 ± 0.69),(3.91 ± 0.65) cmH2O.The differences between the BPD group and the nonBPD group were statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).The CVP of the BPD group was increasing from day 2 to day 3 (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion VLBW premature infants complicated with BPD may have higher CVP at the early stage of life,which may not be related with the fluid intake.
