Effect of circulation factors on ventilation therapy in severe asphyxial neonates / 中华围产医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To analyze the effect of circulatory failure on ventilation therapy of respiratory failure after resuscitation in neonates with severe asphyxia. Methods Three hundred and eighty-two neonates with mechanical ventilation following severe asphyxia were retrospectively analyzed. Two groups were divided according to the efficacy of mechanical ventilation effective and noneffective. Results The non-effective rate was 24.1% at 1 hour after ventilation (19.4% in full term babies,34.5% in preterm babies). The degree of asphyxia in noneffective group was significantly more severe than the effective group. The incidence of persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborns(PPHN),exsanguine shock,cardiogenic shock,DIC and cardiac failure was 84.3%、51.0%、80 4%、49.0% and 54.9% respectively in term babies,while the incidence of exsanguine shock,cardiogenic shock,DIC and cardiac failure was 65.9%、68.3%、75.0% and 58.5% respectively in preterms babies. All of them were significantly higher than the effective group. After treatment of the circulation problems,the blood gas turned to normal in 94.1% term babies and 92.7% of preterms. No difference was shown in the recovery rate in both groups. Conclusion The circulatory failure is a main cause of non-effective mechanical ventilation in asphyxia neonates. To correct the pathophysiologic changes of the circulation in time can effectively improve the prognosis.
