Assessment of mortality risky factors in low birth weight and premature newborns, who admitted in the Intensive Care Unit of Hospital of Sick Children N02 from 2000 to 2002

ABSTRACT

The study was carried out on 58 premature newborn underweight babies at the Department of Rehabilitation of Pediatric Hospital, HCM City from Jan 1999 to May 2002. The babies have been monitored from the first 12th hour after birth to the discharge day of hospital. Results showed that premature newly born underweigh babies with disturbance of oxygene metabolism and acidosis blood metabolism had got the higher fatal versus the omes who had not. The ealier correcting of these disturbances will help to improve the mortality. It should increase the early use of surfactants at the Department of neonatal rehabilitation to reduce the risks of internal membranous disorders.
